I’m going to keep this really short. GDPR has turned my brain to mush. I just want to write interesting articles that you guys and gals find useful. However, GDPR is determined to make an IT consultant out of me (that’s my feeling on the matter anyway) and the law says I must comply. So,...
This may sound like I’m looking for a lost fish or maybe even a dog, but sadly it isn’t so. Two days after run camp finished, my mojo stood up, walked out of the room and never came home. I moped for a few days, waiting to feel the draw of my new runners. My...
My favourite thing about the current “#blogger #primark #ad” trend* is that I can completely bypass anything resembling a shopping trip. I can simply see an outfit on someone, walk into a shop and buy it. This, to me, is a far favourable process than spending 2 hours searching, browsing, sweating due to overzealous air...
I remember wanting to learn how to run. I was afraid to start because I knew it was going to hurt and I might fail. I’m stubborn – so I started anyway and as I knew it would, it hurt. I was living in Sandymount, in Dublin at the time. Running up around the wildlife...

I started this blog every single day this week at least three times a day. I wanted to talk about my kidney transplant but I have realised this morning that I’m not quite ready to go there. I’m not ready to talk about the tears of joy and fear. I don’t want to share the...
We have officially crossed the threshold from Summer to Autumn. I know this for sure now that the coffee shops are all selling pumpkin spiced everything. Pumpkin spice frappe, mocha, skinny latte, muffin, cabbage, burger roast beef a’cino! It’s not for me I’m afraid. I’m more of a deep and meaningful winter spice kind of...
Favourite Foods There really is nothing like the sight of beef chilli spilling out over the edge of a crunchy taco. The texture, the taste, the reality that this meal should never be eaten in front of a first date – these are the attributes that make it so appealing. You might ask how I...
“What would you like for dinner kids, please choose anything from our extensive menu” – Said NO parent EVER! Have you ever tried herding cats? Well, try feeding a family of five and pleasing everyone. The effort required is the same, as is the outcome! It is so difficult to please everyone at the dinner...
