The Almond Croissant Diaries: Durham Castle Great Hall
007/365 Tonight was the conference dinner in the amazing Great Hall at Durham Castle
inphotos.org: Frosty morning in Blarney
Another frosty morning in Blarney, County Cork. I’m glad I work from home. The roads are deadly now. Snow fell in Dublin yesterday and the city practically came to a stand still. It hasn’t snowed in Blarney yet but the roads have been bad. We had a Christmas Day adventure when the car didn’t make it up the hill to our house. We had to leave it on the main road.
Two days ago I did a handbrake turn on the ice to do a turnabout. Wheels were turned right, hand brake was still partially on (by accident!) and when I pressed the accelerator the back wheels stayed in place while the car rotated in place. Thumbs up for front wheel drive cars!
Here in Ireland we’re not prepared for this type of weather going on for so long. Must be almost a month now. So, next year councils, buy boats and dingies for the floods in November, and stockpile salt and grit for the ice and snow in December and January. Please.

venividi.ie: Popes Quay at night
as seen from Shandon Bridge. this photo was taken last december, at 4:39 in the morning, while i was coming back from Hop Island Christmas party. a tripod would be useful for such shot, but since i had not quite yet developed the habit of carrying a tripod with me to places where a dancefloor is involved, the bridge railing had to do.
