Daily Diary - Early Morning College

Had to drop my sister off to college at 8 this morning. The only upside of getting out of bed that early was there was no traffic on the road. Getting icy though. Brrrr.

Daily Diary - Egg Nog

This is the egg I had in my egg nog. I know that there is a well known drink in America called Egg Nog but this is different, I think. Pour a pint of milk into your container, one egg, two spoons of chocolate powder and two spoons of sugar. BLEND. Mmmmmm.

Daily Diary - Skateography

I took this skating out of Strandhill on the new road surface.

Daily Diary - Enlightenment & Agricultiural Wholesale Goods

Went to the NCF Co-op with my dad today, we were getting a new light fixture for the kitchen. Of all the things they sell there, this Buddha statue caught my eye. There he was, sitting in the garden ornament section, surrounded by little bird and frog figurines laughing away to himself. I didn't see any crucifixes for sale there. There's a thought, what would you rather have in your shrubbery? A jolly looking fat man having the craic or a gaunt man, splattered with blood, wearing a crown made of thorns, nailed to a grim looking cross section of wood? NCF were right in choosing Buddhism as the religion of its chain of shops. And our gardens are all the cheerier for it.

Daily Diary - Down the Lane

I went for a drive down a quiet lane way in front of my house. There are some derelict houses which a farmer uses for his cattle. This is his bicycle. And I assume his pallet. He probably doesn't use the bathtub. When I was driving back up the lane I spotted a man cutting down trees in a well concealed place a few feet from the road. Gave him a wave but he was having none of it.

Daily Diary - Horse

I went out to take some photos with Fergal today. He bought a new camera and wanted to try it out. We went down to Strandhill National School and skated a bit on the basketball court. It was a nice clear evening. There was two horses in the field by the school. I rubbed one and took a picture of this one. I always get nervous when rubbing horses cos they could take the hand off ya if they wanted. They have teeth like Joe Dolan.

Daily Diary

I'll be taking a photo every day from now on and writing a little bit about the photo. It's an attempt to form a sort of diary for a while. Hopefully I can get some nice moments captured. A wee bit of Winter!
