Fun with Old Cameras
Well, old is perhaps a bit much. I should say, old for the digital era. It’s the Nikon D70 I’m speaking of, which was our first, and last, Nikon digital SLR before dad jumped ship to Canon. It is a tank of a camera, with a strong polycarbonate body which is very well proportioned, and…

2 Years and still going strong! (Sort of…)
Damn you Curse of Monkey Island! Old adventure games are an easy target, and one I’m using in particular to blame for not having anything written this evening. I did do other things today, including baking brownies and knitting, but no writing at all. It’s a shame, because today is the second anniversary of my…

Movie Trips and Clinics – Writing Challenge Day Four
Kick-Ass 2 As you may have gathered, I enjoy using the phrase ‘as you may have gathered’. But nevertheless, as you may have gathered, I’m a Kick-Ass fan. Tonight was the QUB Sci-Fi and Fantasy cinema trip to see Kick-Ass 2. I really enjoyed the first film as it was a fresh take on the…

Almost Forgotten – Writing Challenge Day Three
Tree-Hugging Almost, but not quite forgotten. The challenge, that is. Today has been a busier day than I intended, filled with exciting things like breakfast, birch tea, tree-hugging, talking about films, and a tiny bit of driving on a horrible night that should belong in the middle of a deep dark Winter somewhere far away…

Part Two – Writing Challenge Day Two
Cathedral Quarter Where to go next? That’s the real question. Cathedral Quarter seems like as good a bet as any, and St Anne’s square to have a look round the MAC. It’s a place I’m yet to visit, but I’ve heard good things. Cathedral Quarter is the place to go for anything artsy, or, cathedral-y.…

The First Writing Challenge!
After watching the Double Fine Adventure documentary, I have been inspired somewhat. I’ve been inspired to write more often and to try and write about anything and everything. It seems to be the best way to access all of the ideas tucked away into the far reaches of my mind, and so far, it is…

Baking and Filmmaking
Summer is a strange time of the year for me. I started this blog in the summer of 2011, and at that stage I was posting up every couple of days, but I’ve been struggling to write anything at all recently. When I do start something, I end up getting distracted with other work, and…

An Awful Long Way to Offaly
You may have realised by now that I do a lot of things (I won’t include a list here, I’ve tried before but there’s a lot to list.) Not that I am particularly skilled in those areas, but I love trying new things, particularly if they involve things I can eat or drink. Nothing beats…

Blue skies and White Coats
As I was walking back from the hospital in the muggy weather in far too heavy clothes, and with a far too heavy bag, I encountered a rather odd bunch of people. They didn’t look vastly different from you or I, the difference was in their clothing. Something rather peculiar was printed on the back,…
