A valuable and worthwhile insight into my life in Ireland.

I weave a tale.

I picked a friend up in my car today and went to Craigavon to get petrol. A 15-minute round trip, until we noticed Marlborough House (the most hideous piece of 70's architecture in Ireland). From there, began:

Today

Marlborough House.

Then we stumbled across an interesting looking graveyard after a detour.

Image

It was decided - we would drive around and look for interesting things to look at.

Image

A lake was discovered

Image

And there was a playground!!

Image

Then we found the house in which the Bronte sisters were born. Rudimentary parkour ensued.

Image
Image

I was weary of driving...

Image

So I found a choo-choo train instead

Image

Which led to the ruins of an abbey, where climbing and clambering occurred.

Then we went home, I had pizza and went to a different friend's house where a lazy night was had.

The marvellous part is that every day is like this right now. Have more fun, people, it's great.

Well I'm glad you're back, but something is bugging me. In the section of playground pictures, what is that on the bottom right? From your position, it looks like a very small merry-go-round.

He just exudes badass. All the time. Even when on some kind of bizarre swinging contraption in a kids' playground.

Basically, that's what it is. Every park nearby, here in California, has them. Spin fast enough and you get mighty sick LOL

I love days like that. Good to hear you're enjoying it, Dermy!

I need to find places around here where I can do that. There should be enough, New York is a state with enough expanse.

EDIT: Also, Marlborough house is DAMN ugly.
