Counter Productivity
I’m a huge fan of productivity tools, and think using technology to help increase your productivity and what you can do with the limited time available to you is a good idea and something to be looked at. However, I have a tendency to spend so long looking for ways to be more productive, that [...]
Sexy Scrabble
On Saturday we had a few friends over for a bite to eat at our table that’s too small to have 4 friends over for dinner (which we only discovered having had them over and sat down). Lasagne, chips and garlic bread in case you’re wondering. Anyway, 2 bottles of wine later, I had the [...]
Hoover Bag Trauma
Today, I spent far longer than any normal man should trying to track down Hoover Bags for the Argos Value Range hoover that came with the apartment. I hadn’t changed or emptied the bag on it in the year since we moved in, which I didn’t think was that big a deal, but apparently it [...]
A walk up Djouce with a borrowed dog!
Today myself and Orla went and got our pretend dog (it’s really her parent’s, but we borrow it at the weekend when we go for walks, a win-win for all concerned) Tara and headed up to Djouce mountain in Wicklow for a walk. We took a little bit longer than we should have to get [...]
Let’s Get Ironing
I’ve always actually quite liked ironing. There I said it. Most people hate it, but I’ve always found it a bit therapuetic. When I used to work as a solicitor I used to iron 3 weeks of shirts at a time (i.e. 15 shirts) and then wear them and when I ran out, iron another [...]
Quick, grab this in the sale and avail of HUGE savings
I just got an email from www.dolphinmusic.co.uk where I have bought a lot of musical equipment in the past (incidentally, I’ve found decks.co.uk to be quicker and cheaper for a lot of stuff the Dolphin or Thomann) telling me that lots of new things have been added to their sale items. To be fair, they [...]
Please support Movember. It’s for a really good cause….
There’s lots of dodgy looking moustachioed bandits walking the streets of Dublin this month. The main purpose is to raise cancer awareness and raise money for cancer research.
Many of us have been affected by cancer, either directly or indirectly, and yesterday one of my friend’s husband’s passed away. This is one of the most heart-breaking [...]
Blogging takes a lot of time
I am starting to see why some people are professional bloggers and literally spend all day doing just their blog. I mean, I’m as quick a typist as most and it still takes an age to get from deciding you’re goign to post something to it actually being up on your site, and that’s taking [...]
Could Countdown be the best programme on TV? Ever?
My Nana always used to say “There’s never anything on TV, I never turn it on before countdown”. For her (and she was in her 90s at the time), TV time began at countdown time. As I watched it today, I thought (a) Isn’t it great to have a job that affords you the time [...]
Irish Recycling
This has been giving me a good giggle and simultaneously wrecking my head for the last few months. It’s the glass recycling bin for our apartments. You’ll probably notice the “glass only” sign just above the plastic bag, which you’ll probably also notice, is not glass. Nor are the cups and things in the plastic [...]
