I spy some of the Introducing… books on your shelf there. I also find they are great when you’ve got Reader’s Block…easy way to absorb some info.

This is one of my favourite posts. Such a simple thought articulated well with great examples. Your ability to do that is what makes you such a great writer.

@Seamus Thanks, the photos are from Portumna in County Galway.

@Sharon Thanks for the tip, must pop into that bookshop and check out those kits.

Couldn’t agree with all that more!
I collect old cameras and photo with them. start a painting class next week and got a neat sculpture kit from that book shop at the end of grafton st (near molly malone statue). The sculpture kits only 6quid and nicely simple when you’re tired of the dinosaurs ;)

Hi Siobh�n,

Nice photos from Portumna, like the fisheye shots, esp. the sky and trees. I do not think I’ve been there, is that in eastern Galway ? Will google earth it when back home.

My fave spots to photograph in Ireland are Kerry [esp. Dingle peninsula], Galway [Connemara] and Donegal. I am looking forward to hols in Ireland this September, playing in the trad sessions, seeing the cousins and friends, and finding some great shots of the scenery.

Nice post, agree, we’re always reading or over using the eyes, whether on paper or on the computer screen, at work am always busy reviewing invoices, checking data, at home, on the computer often too, and usually read before bed,
tG for sleep, when it comes.

Tog � go bog �..

Thanks Ben. Absolutely agree with you – breaks in the norm are so important for a healthy mind. I think we all drive ourselves a bit crazy sometimes, by keeping within the routine for too long.

A simple break from routine is as important as going on holidays and such.
I used to be addicted to putting DIY stuff together when i was younger but now, i’d leg it if a bench or bbq had to be assembled. But then i never used to read and I’ve been reading the past 4 months now.

It’s the little breaks from the norm that keep the aul variety up :)

Nice post
