Happy Birthday, Bertie

Happy birthday to my little brother today. Here he is looking suave on the Salthill shore on Galway Bay. We had fun during his visit. He’s taking good care of my cat Kipper while I’m in Scotland (and Kipper’s taking good care of Connor). And he keeps me up to date on the local wildlife…

Happy Birthday!

It’s my sweetie’s birthday today! I wish I were there to celebrate with him, but we’ll have to defer the party until I get back to Dundee. But we can all sing to him, right? Join me! But I would be remiss if I did not mention the other important birthday: Tirgearr Publishing! All of…

Happy Birthday, Joey!

If I had remembered in time, I would have sent a card 😦 Without my computer to remind me I remember nothing. Shall I just get you this? Hope your day is wonderful.

I don’t have a scanner so this will have to do for now. A photo of a photo on a camera with no view finder. I think this must be the house on Clark Road just after it was finished, because my grandparents house next door (where we had been living) has an alcove by…

Carrot & Stick

I have a favor to ask of you: it’s not really much and this time of year, you might be spending a lot of time in the particular location anyway. I have a birthday wish. I realise it’s a few weeks away yet, but you need some preparation time. The good news is that it…
