leave a comment!

it's nice to get a bit of dialogue happening.

i must have been a tv chef in a former life

made amazing vegan sausage rolls with sean on saturday night.

main ingredients were nuts & breadcrumbs, celery, onion & herbs. yumbo. cheated by using shop bought pastry, but still very impressed with myself.

when buying ingredients for delicious meal, passed an older irish woman who addressed the empty space beside her as she walked "hiya maureen, howsit going?"

note to self: must leave ireland before going crazy. this place will do that to a person.

i am no longer an illegal alien

well, i never was, but i would've been in a month or so if i didn't get a new work authorisation. not that i would've stayed illegally of course. i just mean that theoretically if i didn't get a new authorisation, and theoretically decided to stay anyway, i would've been an illegal alien. but i found out just now that i got my new work permit.. hooray!

thanks to chris xx.

RADIOHEAD

went to dublin friday for the radiohead concert at malahide castle. was brilliant. why don't they have outdoor gigs at castles in australia???? it's a much cooler vibe than some grim indoor stadium or something.

it rained just enough at the beginning of the show to produce two amazing rainbows, as illustrated below.

note my uncontainable glee at being at radiohead concert.

i wish i was independently wealthy

i dislike work. i do. really.

i mean.. i don't mind working.. i just mind that most jobs available to 'unskilled' persons are boring. really, truly, mind-numblingly boring.

yes, i've started at the new job. the people are lovely, but one more time, it's BORING.

on a happier note, camped at a friends place out of town on saturday night. she has a trampoline! oh, the forgotten joy of bouncing! had a campfire, cooked food and so on. went swimming at lough corrib on sunday, but got rained out after an hour or so.
