Allihies Beach

Allihies Beach

I look outside now and see the hazy and rain that has descended on and wonder if I was really at and saw the fluffy cumulus stretching off into the distance. It seems like a another lifetime.

Today my wife, Jacinta, and I celebrated our second wedding anniversary. It’s a joyful day because we are a happy family with our mad little son but it’s also the first anniversary of Jacinta’s sister’s untimely passing from this world. We went for dinner this afternoon with her family and it was a cheerful gathering, but of course in quiet moments, one’s thoughts stray to Gerry who wasn’t there.

This boat, , has been tied up in for I don’t know how long. This photo was taken in 2006 but the last time I was in around this area I remember seeing it. I wonder what’s the story with it?

Going Overboard

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008 by Donncha

Bertie’s going overboard today, hopefully. As I write this is speaking and it sounds like a resignation speech. I haven’t heard an apology for lying under oath and deceiving the public yet however.

Unfortunately we’re all going to forget this by the next election. Hopefully the other parties will make hay while the shines.

Posting this today as Miriam’s photo of the same sign reminded me I had shot this at in Co. .
It’s appropriate too.

Edit - he’s out. will resign on May 6th 2008.

Spectators on the beach

Sunday, February 10th, 2008 by Donncha

The hang gliding attracted a bit of a on Inch in 2006. Well, it was late September and there wasn’t that many on the in the first place, so 2 isn’t so bad, eh?

Hunger got the best of us and we watched as a powered plane flew high up in the air. I don’t think any of the gliders made it up that day because the winds weren’t right.
