Just out of the oven...not Michelin star but the ladies in the house love it....

Filmer Paradise · 08-12-2018 10:56pm

Watching Cleb, with a glass of wine & a roaring fire.

Feel I've earned it for once. I changed the alternator on the Volvo today. 5 hours it took me. I'm really too old for this sh1t.

Last time I swapped out an alternator was 25 years ago. Mk 3 Escort with a CVH engine. I took me only a few minutes then.:eek:

Glad I didn't become a mechanic. They really earn their money with these modern cars.

On the couch finally, knackered.. We had 16 for dinner today.. As you do. My house is full of presents. It's class. Now for tea and an apple.

Bedside, watching Chuck Norris in missing in action, tjat man can do no wrong, after a great day fishing with my bro, not looking forward to saying goodbye tomorrow.

Brothers are the best. I've a life new to do- fish with my brothers. I'd prefer one to one, when we're all together it's not as good.

Relaxed, a lot done today work wise,busy tomorrow writing up college stuff. Been too busy recently feeling a bit detatched.

Edward M · 09-12-2018 12:14am

Heading for leaba with Mrs, first night in five we've been together.
It will be a quiet sleep, both of us knackered.

Sephiroth_dude · 09-12-2018 12:28am

Waiting to be picked up and brought to brother's apartment for a few hours until our flight.

Bed in Wexford. Limerick via Waterford tomorrow then home to Offaly after.

Graces7 · 09-12-2018 1:47am

abed, shivery and chilled. But I sorted the loud rattle that has had me ***** The door of the esb meter that they were supposed to fix nearly a year ago...banging in the wind off the ocean... amazing what a strip of sticking plaster will do

cats are bewildered by the gale. I keep doing a headcount. Just the big boy out now.

We have had one postal delivery this week. Fourth cut- off day ahead.

Sounds like something like out of Peig. Christ how I hated that auld misery.

35 years ago we had to learn this dung to pass the Leaving.:eek:

My eldest has Dyslexia & is therefore spared the misery of having to 'learn the language'.

I'd love to have had a 'learning disability' like that to be spared from sh1t like this.

Genuinely don’t know how you do it Grace. Your posts really paint a lovely picture of island life, but I know for me personally I wouldn’t be able to stick it. Ah well, different strokes for different folks as they say. As long as you’re happy living the life you want

I love it. Simple as that. Longed to return to Mayo and to a small island all the years I was market trading etc.

A few years ago I was chatting with three german ladies in the layby looking at Blasket. They loved the island but when I said I was seeking to live islanded, their faces changed to horror!

As you say we are each different. Problem is when folk read my words as if they were there! Know what I mean? Here I am HOME. My worst night here was when I got stranded on the MAINLAND by the weather!

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 09-12-2018 3:11am

Yeah I wouldn’t be able for that life either but can see why it would be totally enjoyable. I’m too fond of myself to put myself through hardships. I like my central heating and showers and tv and open fires and tv and being able to pop into the shop on the way home. Though some days I would love to pack my **** and move somewhere that had no people but I’d be so lonely and miserable. We used to go to the bog with my dad as kids and it was so vast and untouched and scenic; there wouldn’t be another person for miles but it always felt eerie. If you shouted your voice bounced back as an echo. It was so peaceful it was unnerving. I feel the calmer something appears the more dangerous it is. Or maybe I just hate the bog.

I’m in bed exhausted. Up since 5.

Waking up in Dubai

Graces7 · 09-12-2018 7:32am

wind still howling, but less stridently...

All cats fed. Watching them vie for possession of a wing or leg of the chicken is hilarious.

As for danger etc; it is people who cause danger. But yes, many are unnerved by spaces etc. I think I can/could be like that with the ocean. I watch films set on cruise ships and feel trapped. Some feel that when they come to the island.

Talking on the phone with overseas family and unless a car comes my way, going to stay home. Did this for five years on the North Sea island. And I have been given two cars in the past by a man who knew the work we do. The cost is far too great simply.

So there we are! Islanded!

Ah sure no one forced you to read it, there's no points for it.
Keep up the good work Grace.
I got stuck on Inishboffin once in a gale, tough spot in a storm.

Morning all

Happy Sunday!!!

Trust me, you really don't want a learning disability, with significantly reduced opportunities in life, in relation to educational, working and general life, a higher possibility of mental health issues and addiction problems etc etc etc. Count your blessings if you don't have one.

I honestly have no idea what he is on about and no wish to know... not raised in Ireland!

LOVE where I chose and choose to live.... hardship is in the eye of the beholder, not here! Here is LIFE. Simple and strong.

Abed, listening to Advent carols, candle glowing, hands busy with bright yarn...No thought of any advent prayer time up at the church as deluging!

One funny memory. When I lived on a North Sea island, and the power company was out after a storm, the men were terrified of missing the boat! It was a 2 hour crossing. The thought of being stranded!
