this day two years ago we spent easter time with james' family in connemara

as you can see he is seriously communing with the crustacean he's going to eat in white wine and butter — not the heartless carnivore we all thought.

does our new can opener not look like a cockrel!?

it reminded me of my work in core year of art college when i made little birds out of watch parts. i found a few grainy old pictures of some of them. they might be nice made out of gold?
they could have little rose gold combs on top of their heads : )

I made a poached egg this evening for my tea but something very strange happened : )

it's an oological tribute to the Equinox (on Saturday)

don't click here if you have looming deadline!

We're moving into our new apartment TOMORROW! I was so excited today that I brought over the grass vase my little sisters gave me for Christmas just so something of mine was there. I found the terracotta pots out on the patio, cleaned them up and brought them inside. The hyacinth is part of the group of objects I gave James for good luck.

Salt - for good luck
Bread - for plentiful food
Olive oil - for health
Wine - for lots to drink (not just alcohol i'm sure!)
Candle - for light and warmth
Honey - for sweetness
Plant - for a long life

All this moving got me to thinkin' about the first place I lived after college. The photos below are for Marianne my Booterstown buddy! You're playing face jenga in the third one – pretty good at it as I recall! Tischtennis, Toshiba and tea.

that's the moon that is!

we're living out of boxes at the moment, but not for long! we found the most amazing apartment which will hopefully be ready by next week!

i can't wait.
