Weather :(

What is with the weather being so sucky of late. Since I got the new camera, I’ve had about 3 fine days where I’ve actually had a chance to go out and get some pics, and every other day has been dark and dreary and wet! Starting to get just a little frustrated by it [...]

Michael Schumacher returned to a Formula One car for the first time today since the season finished up a few months ago, and what happens, straight away he is faster than everyone else on the test, by 1.7 seconds!!! Maybe it has something to do with Ferrari’s visit to the pope during the week!

So, tomorrow is the big day, the day Ireland catches up with the rest of Europe in yet another way, and goes metric. I personally have been metric since July last year when I got the Audi, which was in Kilometres only. Kinda confusing at first till I got a hang of what the relevant [...]

Met Éireann have yet another severe wather warning (the third in less than 2 weeks) out today, this time predicting strong winds and lots of wintery showers, especially snow, with a large covering expected nationwide! Bring it on I say, this is my kinda weather, and, hopefully it lasts more than the 2 days currently [...]

Again, whilst out walking today, I took a load of pictures of my wee doggie, Suzie, who, unfortunately, due to a growing tumour, is not going to be with us for much longer. Talk about a time to go, just as the weather is picking up and I’m getting to grips with my new camera, [...]
