So, I’m now twenty one. Picked Colm up from the airport on Friday evening, with several bags of presents etc – cards and cash from a few people, all much appreciated. Mitts & scarf from Teresa, a “key” from Colm & Jacqui, a Newbridge picture frame from mum & dad, and a gorgeous heart-shaped chocolate [...] I’m not sure how the same post managed to get published twice, but oh well… The blog is due a bit of a makeover by now, so while I’m poking at things, here’s hoping you enjoy the new theme In 1606, the trial in London of Guy Fawkes and his co-conspirators began, for their “Gunpowder Plot, the previous November 5th. In 1756, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born, in Salzburg, Austria. In 1832, Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) was born in Cheshire, England. In 1880, Thomas Edison filed a patent for an electric incandescent lamp.

For the second year in a row, Zugspitze is playing host to a village of igloos, including a bar, and a “hotel”. There are four romantic igloos in the village, with ice-carved motifs of stars, [...] There is no excerpt because this is a protected post. …are NOT in my list of favourite things. No sirree… Not even a little bit. Actually, snowflakes don’t appear on that list in any form. Got the date for one of my exams yesterday. I’m terrified, on the one hand, because it’s an open book exam, and I’m really not prepared for it – I don’t [...] As previously mentioned, I was over at Bari’s last night. Turns out, her parents are planning a trip to Europe during the semester break, and their itinerary seems a bit mad to me. It’s entirely possible that this is because I don’t know them, don’t know what they like doing or seeing, and am simply [...] For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a fan of Mozart. Of his music, but also of him as a person. I’m sure I liked his music nearly from the start – I was lucky enough to enjoy plenty of musical education & appreciation during my ‘formative years’, but my earliest memory of [...] |
