Bedside. Literally. Little man has just woken up and kinda demanded I take off the cpap .. woken me up from a kind of nightmare where I was stuck in traffic in my hometown because someone put a bomb on the main street that had bullets in it. The bomb went off and 1 person got shot. I'm just left with the feeling of frustration of being stuck in traffic.. ffs.:D how funny, when it was poltergiest I watched watching before bed and that's the best I could come up with.. a traffic jam. (i can't feel sorry for a randomer who does not exist .. if it was real I would )
6 year old has just come in .. dressed in his uniform (should be tracksuit today) wanting to go on the trampoline.. it's 6:15.. this boy is usually putting shoes on in the car.. Lol I haven't the heart to say put the tracksuit on.. but he's been sent back to bed. (he's now singing THAT song from Moana in the bathroom..)
Yay
It's Friday.

Listening to red fm because I'm homesick.

I says

Reading different forums and social media sites and all I’m getting from it is

You can say what you like about anything just don’t have an opinion on it.

In work worrying about money. Oh to fly away from it all.

Just trying to summon the energy to go to bed. Can you be too tired to go to bed?

Yep. My mother used to sit by the fire, saying over and again, " I wish I was in bed!" Just too much effort altogether.

Tell me how

If you fly towards it, it might help solve your problems!

Going to Galway. Hope traffic is reasonably Ok.

Same as.. I'm waiting on a refund from a tradesman for a job he couldn't do and its taking weeks. Supposedly it was transferred on Wednesday, but no sign yet and I could really do with it until I get paid at the end of the month

Well... we had the best two days of summer.. Cold and cloudy today as J flies home to the US.

I have done far, far too much and am , as they say,paying the price , and no meds to deal with it,

But totally impenitent! J left with stars in her eyes.

And the gorse glory... OH MY!

We went beyond Westport to Murrisk, and the road where it runs by the sheltered ocean is lined with great banks of golden gorse, dazzling in the sun. Just total beauty.

Croagh Patrick basked in the sun; you could see the chapel at the top so clearly. We explored the Visitor Centre and the beautiful shrine.. chatted with folk who were about to tackle the climb..

Then down to Murrisk Abbey on the shore,, where we met a group of older folk from the US... they tend to travel in May for price and peace, and they were asking about the abbey... never seen anyone move as fast as when I said they were walking on graves..

It was here I realised that J loves wandering round old graveyards as much as i do. Before she has always had family with her so we have had to restrain ourselves,

The terrible National Famine Memoriam in its stark uncompromising brutal reminder

Then? Long full day.. back to Newport and beyond..Burrishoole Abbey, where we found the Angel Corner.. dedicated to all the children buried there. Something many cemeteries are doing now...
And later, at Killeens cemetery, the most poignant grave I have ever seen. Two tiny footprints with the words, "You have left your footprints on our hearts,"

And Grainne's Castle... and a stop for hot soup at a pub... and even a few minutes at the beach, where I managed to paddle ..

Then J was away...

Worth the pain now.. I can hibernate a few days...

I had half dreaded the visit because I was worried I would not manage it so am deeply deeply thankful.

When I was first in Ireland it was this area of Mayo and so blessed to be back here

While I was waiting for the ferry, a few folk came down as we have a Wild Atlantic drive marker> So I got talking to them and they will be coming over! The ferryman is well pleased with me!

Many years ago now I set out one day to climb Croagh Patrick ( no visitor centre back then ). When I got to Murrisk there was heavy flying mist and so Croagh Patrick was 'off'. With time on my hands I went exploring and came across the very same graveyard. Surprised to find headstones for some RAF from WWII. Sometime later I read that Clew Bay had been an unofficial RAF flying boat base & there had been a flying accident in the bay.

Did you go to Achill ?

Is the beach at Kiladoon still beautiful ? - the last time I was there was the long long dry summer ( think it was 1976 ).

Michael Viney lived at Kiladoon and wrote many vivid pieces about it. They appeared in the Saturday Irish Times during the '70s ( and maybe on into the '80s ) . If you are interested, most public libraries have online access to the Irish Times archive.

( note : I clearly remember all of the above however some of it may not have happened )
