Berlin Irish. Bad speller. Worse proof reader. Here to enthuse about my niche interests and watch you enthusing about yours.
By contrast, thistles grow fantastically, which is exactly the sort or thing you want with two chaotic, energetic, kids with a slight lack of a sense of self-preservation roaming around.
Well, there it is, the first ever blueberry our wee garden has produced and, oh boy, it was so good and fresh and sweet that I wish we had a few more!
“Help yourself to a beer,” our hosts say. “Awful decent of you,” I reply, plucking something that looks nice from the fridge. Half way through before I realise I took an alcohol free, which is better than fine but I could do without thon court jester literally laughing at me for my choice…
Long weekend in our friend’s cabin in the woods where all you can see from the decking in front of the cabin is the woods. Idyllic. Apart from all the bloody mosquitos and horseflies who haven’t smelt human blood for a whole…
Cooked something tonight likely to get me cancelled by both England fans (for looking too much like Mexican food) and Mexico fans (for it most certainly being not Mexican food at all)…
Dewi Lake overcoming the constraint on not dummying the lineout throw by acting like his shoulders are attached to his back with springs. Not that it helped... #FIJvWAL
#BabyPferd's last-day-of-school party, today. Ingratiating myself to the kids by, once again, doing the nut-nougat muffins that were a massive hit when she took some in for her birthday.
It’s 0116 on a work night. I’m still partially jet lagged. Penalties is absolutely the last thing I needed #GERPAR
Kids taking advantage of my jetlagged fug, again. This time for burgers. Insofar as anything called a hamburger could be Irish, this is it. Wheaten farl buns, Irish cheddar and Ballymaloe relish.
I won't lie: today was pretty easy, apart from the last one. All cities set in well identifiable geography. And taking my time helped. But still... 😎
Me coming back from walking off me big sandwich and seeing 30+ notifications on here: "Oh, dear goodness, what have I done? What did I say? What's happened!?" Dear followers, it was just 1,000 or so people liking a picture of my breakfast bagel.
