From Alba to Albany
By the time this posts, I should be on my way via planes, trains and automobiles (not to mention the bus to the airport in Edinburgh). It’s hard to believe my fantastic year has drawn to a close. Needless to say, I have no wish to leave Scotland and already have my ticket back. My…
Keeping Abreast of the Fabulous
All right, even I am having difficulty at times keeping up with all the news, so if I repeat something here, it just means you’re paying attention, well done, here’s a cookie! Soon I have to leave the glories of Alba for the um, gories? of Albany. Alas. Which means I have to figure out…
Galway Sounds
Snufkin packs her bindle again: I am away with the lovely Maura for a jaunt north; with luck I will be able to share pictures along the way here and there, but for at least part of the weekend I will be — gasp! — without WiFi so I will necessarily have to curtail my…
Six Sentence Sunday: The Claddagh Icon
Another Sunday has rolled around; in the States it’s Mother’s Day, so happy Mother’s Day to my mother and all the other mothers out there. It’s also Six Sentence Sunday, so I’ve selected another story to tease you with. It’s definitely a tease, because while I’ve sent the story off to my publisher in Italy,…
Six Sentence Sunday: Mandrake Anthrax
I’ve been getting all noir lately. I blame Mr B. Ireland’s so lovely, but I’ve been setting stories here that are undeniably grim. So I blame Ken Bruen, too. While I’m spreading the blame around, might as well point a finger (or two!) at Mark E. Smith, too. If he hadn’t written a lyric like,…
On Tour with the QoE & Marko
Next week, I’ll be back to regular posting, but for now, here’s a nice picture of my guests. We’ll see how many photos they let me post 🙂 probably better when they get over the jet lag. Yes, a picture at Spanish Arch is required of everyone who sets foot in Galway. Tick that box!
Idling around Town
The mobile uploads are crap: see the nice pictures at the Picasa album. And many more!
Surprises and Melancholia (Bitch Buzz)
I meant to do a Friday Forgotten Book, but today took a few unexpected turns which involved a glorious day at the beach, a much overdue haircut and a shiny new iPad2 (thank you Fulbright Foundation) which is charging now. So I have added some lovely photos to the Ireland photo album, including a cute…
BitchBuzz: Why the Blackout Mattered
An unusual day: me away from the net. Be honest — you didn’t really notice I was gone, did you? It’s all right. I know occasionally I should take a break from yammering across all media. Besides, I took some more lovely photographs over in Salthill. Nothing jazzes up a photo like a happy, bouncing…
