Roadtrip

Myself and Uisce just came back from a week's galavanting around the country. We've visited friends in Mayo, Leitrim and Limerick. It was lovely to get away and get out of my head and life and just observe other people for a while. Like a mental holiday:) I mean when the mind is off on holidays:) Anyhow, after about 1000kms (well done Mr. G, you're the best little car ever), I can say Uisce is a super dog tp travel with, she really got into the groove of it all, the ever changing scenery and company of dogs, kids and big people. Car, forests, lakes, rivers, houses of all sorts, etc etc, I claim she even learnt to go to pee when I tell her before getting into the car and stuff (handy...:)
Anyways, funnily enough the few pictures I took along the way all have Uisce on them, no sign of a car or anything else we've seen on the way.... Ah well... Here's to obsessions;-)

Uisce and Jack in action

Uisce, Maggie the goat and Luke in Mayo

New addition to the house, the all window bathroom and hallway, Mayo

I love socks....

....and Oliver, but a bit afraid of the little car:)

It is time to have a pic of the 2 of us, don't have the facial similarity just yet;-)

The long dog

This has been a busy week, lots of work, rehearsals, visitors, etc... Heading up the country for a roadtrip with Uisce tomorrow, can't wait! (Wouldn't mind if she shared the driving but probably won't happen...;-)
Here's a photograph I took the other day, that's how long Uisce is when she really streches out:)

Painting, jam and the mouse found!

Had a couple of busy indoors days - the weather has been so Irish, that the backyard is full of cats and dogs ;-) Well, anyhow, way too much rain has fallen, so I took to the shelter of my little tin box and performed some chores long planned - painted the bedroom! Or I should say turned the dark hole of doom into a warm beautiful room:) Pictures below to prove what madness comes to life when you add me, paintbrushes and some outcast old paints I found in the deep pockets of my place. I'm very happy with it anyways, it is great when something long planned gets done:)
There's a few other pics just to say something about Uisce as well, who's been in her element the last week or so, and finally found the mouse which has been living within her reach all this time. She also has been subjected to hours of loud good rain music, there's a pic below of the rare moment when she didn't try to catch the percussionist's hands in action or wasn't trying to play the guitar:)
Anyhow, I better go off to the garen before the next lot of rain arrives!:)

May camping, squeeky pig and flower essences

Here's a few new photos of our little camping trip to Castlefreke woods near Roscarbery with Naomi and Vicky and Uisce, and a couple other little things. Enjoy!

Castlefreke woods full of amazingly scented bluebells!

Our little campsite

Uisce found a squeeky pig, hilariously got acquainted with the world of squeeks, and shortly after chewed the legs off.... even then, it remained her favourite toy for the trip

Love moving around furniture, even in small spaces:) The new living room in the tin box

With the musical corner for inspiration

The first fruits of an exciting yet quiet journey in flowerland. Here's to hope and joy!
