Dargle 1, Sarah 0

(not me)

The Dargle kicked my ass yesterday.
The River Dargle (Irish: An Deargail, meaning little red spot) rises in the Wicklow Mountains of Ireland on the northern slopes of Djouce Mountain and flows over the highest waterfall in Ireland, falling 121m (398 feet) at Powerscourt Waterfall.
Needless to say, we did NOT paddle the Powerscourt section, rather the bit after the falls that starts out nice and friendly then ends up teaching me a lesson or two. Admittedly I was not on form yesterday but it's no excuse. Bring on a rematch. (once my poor bruised knuckles (and ego) heal.)

BOXTY Hourrah!!

I was doing potato printing the other night and decided to make use of all the little cut off bittys and make Boxty! We used too much flour but all in all they were fairly average (to quote Paddy)
There was definite potential though.

so pretty

Ah Recession

The "R" word. So hot right now. In this time of beg, borrow or steal that we're entering I have to hope that the wonderful Free Trade option on dublinwaste.ie is going to get really really popular. I've used it loads of times, to get and give away useless crap that no-one would pay for in their right minds.
This post, so far, is my favorite though, not useless at all.
A lovely pink hat - FREE!
Cool.

Happy New Year!!

I haven't seen you since last year!! Ha ha. But seriously folks. Bring on 2009. It's all doom and gloom in the news but I have a good feeling about this year!
Here are some lovely Apalca to get you smiling!
