A new life beckons.
I should have done this a long time ago.

It’s been a while since I went for a hike.
The first time, it was wet and very misty. The second, very wet and misty.
Today, in the middle of June, just days after the summer solstice…it was very wet and very misty.
I’ve seen it all now.
We met at Glendalough and headed for Derrybawn, Mullacor and Lugduff. We had to miss one, however, owing to the rain.
Another grand day out, weather aside.

A nation of frustrated train spotters produces this…is there anything the Greens can do to help?

And what a block it is!

Pearse DART to Blackrock DART.
Tue 5 Jun 2007
The sun splits the stones after the horrors of the bank holiday weekend and all its associated attempts at merry-making.
Looks like summer has returned; needless to say, the Leaving Cert starts in the morning. Three weeks of guaranteed good weather, at least.
A lovely evening for a jaunt out to Blackrock. I find a nice little park adjacent to Blackrock DART station.
My longest evening walk yet, but no matter where go along the coast, it seems, Poolbeg is sure to follow.

The Flora Women’s Mini-Marathon (a 10km run through the posh parts of Dublin city) returns for its 25th year to the city.
I take a wander up to Fitzwilliam Square for the start. Trying to find anybody is like trying to locate the proverbial needle; after about half an hour of wandering around, it feels like I’ve seen every single woman in Dublin City, except the one I’m looking for.
Oh well!

The Docklands Festival returns for its third year. A very welcome addition to the summer calendar but the weather almost ruined it for everybody.
Why can’t the weather listen? Be miserable throughout January and February and we won’t mind…we might even get into the spirit of things. But not the June bank holiday weekend.
Anyway, the torrential rain subsides enough for a couple of leisurely hours spent wandering sampling the wares; pretty lady buys herself some ear-rings and I’m content with a new t-shirt.
Also, some wild pig on a bread roll.
