My mother saw the fjords, but I only get to see pictures of everything. There's a significant cost savings there.

There is a catamaran tour of the harbour, I was on that once.

Very pretty and cool. The sheep are consistent with my memory of Ireland!

Sheep are everywhere in west Mayo!!

And there are very few fences - commonage, so they are often rambling the roads.

I don't think you killed it. But you might have put it to sleep.

These are the sheep we count in order to fall asleep.

Hi everyone! I hope you are having a good weekend.

Just back from work party at church. I am going to hurt...

I remembered that from Germany. We had rolling metal shutters on the house that kept it dark inside.

Those shutters always seemed like overkill to me.

We were in Tromsø, Norway, early one August; when we were there at midnight the sun just reached the horizon and came back up. The hotel had heavy drapes on the windows for darkness.

But I need to go and shower the plant fragments off me now...

It's strange we don't have those shutters in this country...

That happened to me when I started doing yard work a couple of weeks ago. Now I feel fine, but I've started working on my neighbors' yard so I don't stiffen up again!

I don't recall seeing shutters like that anywhere but Germany and Florida. The latter is due to hurricanes. Might the former be an extra protection against a reasonably distant nuclear bomb?

Whatever has happened to your sister, "Alice," and the very interesting Latin children? I had such a nice time visiting with her, and now she's disappeared.

I hope she and her family are doing okay.

I have some garden work to do. Mowed the front lawn (for the first time since it was replanted) when I got home, but I am dreading hauling more of the big rocks cross the drive to liine the lower side. I moved three last weekend...

That could be, I guess - no nukes going off in Ireland (yet...).
