The Merry Moth of December
I think that in a previous life I may have been a moth. Although I’ve never eaten a woolly jumper or bashed my brains out on a car windscreen, I can’...

Fantasies of Enya (with music video)
I'd like to be the owner of a butcher's shop in Newry. I'd like to shake my hips about and sing like Billy Fury. I'd like to be a cosmonaut like...

Hotel Mediterraneo
Sultry and still the sweet night air. Latin music. Crickets chirping. Like a favela in Rio or anywhere But for the sound of Geordies burping. For el...

It wasn't all grim
Posted on Sat, 27 Jul 2024
It wasn't all grim Di. I'm glad I did it but I'm also glad that I stopped when I did. Though in hindsight it was much harder readjusting to a life back on land than it had been to adjusting to a life on the ocean wave in the first place. I've got...

A message from Priyatelkata to Alfred
Posted on Fri, 02 Aug 2024
Priyatelkata (my partner) is French and, like her compatriots, she doesn't do things by halves. Our breakfasts at home to launch a day can be as impressive as an Olympic Games opening ceremony but without the dancers in their ridiculous costumes...

Optimism

Thanks L.
My optimism dwindles but will never disappear... that goes for Crado and for the state of the world.

Humans
Posted on Tue, 30 Jul 2024
Ah, right. The vast majority of my writing is autobiographical and I forget that other people's might not be. So I apologise for this oversight.
Observing human behaviour is something that I spend a lot of my time doing too, though the...

The Parents
Posted on Tue, 30 Jul 2024
I get you!
We blame our parents but our parents blame their own parents,and so on. The best we can do is break the mould.
With a drawer full of Flintstones and Simpsons socks, I told my kids to scrap Fathers' Day.

Annascaul
Posted on Wed, 31 Jul 2024
Oh, I just love it when I'm wandering Ireland and I bump into an unexpected memorial sculpture. Tom Krean in Annascaul's a great one but my favourite is the statue of Johnny Kilbane who was the World Featherweight Boxing Champion from 1912 to...

Moving words
Posted on Tue, 30 Jul 2024
Such moving words Jenny. You did very well to write them. I don't think I would be able to touch such an awful topic.
I can sometimes see a slight trace of a motive that might make an atrocity understandable, though not forgivable, but I...

Ol' Blue Eyes
Posted on Thu, 25 Jul 2024
Frank Sinatra might have been the person who got this ball rolling. He had a hit entitled 'From the Bottom of My Heart' a fair few years before I was born.
But watch out for typos!
'From the heart of my bottom' would change the...

Positive attitude
Posted on Wed, 24 Jul 2024
There have been times when it's been necessary for me to get myself extra super fit for walking and cycling trips that I've sometimes foolishly agreed to go on but generally I've avoided physical exercise for great swathes of my life.
So...
