There I am in the paper #56

March 26, 2018

Here you go, another laugh a minute! My article in the Irish Examiner’s Feelgood. Yer man is the star of the show in this one. How often do we hear, “It’s the little things that matter?” Perhaps it’s different in other houses, but in ours we tend to be rather lax about fixing ‘little’ things. So … More There I am in the paper #56

Here you go, another of my articles from the Irish Examiner’s Feelgood and beware you might not sleep well after reading! Don’t you love this time of year when children return to school healthy and within days come down with the plague. But I wonder is that worse than when they come home and say, … More There I am in the paper #50

There I am in the paper #46.

December 12, 2017

Here’s another of my articles from the Irish Examiner’s Feelgood. A little insight into the domestic arrangements in our house. I read the other day, if you live with an accountant your chances of having a successful relationship are doomed. The article I’d skimmed through was on Facebook, so I knew it must be true. … More There I am in the paper #46.

There I am in the paper #45.

December 4, 2017

Another of my pieces from The Irish Examiner’s Feelgood. This one went down quite well with some ever saying it mildly amused them, especially those who have recently learned to drive or taught a learner. Enjoy. What is it about other parents that makes them delight in forewarning the parents of younger children of the … More There I am in the paper #45.

Happy Birthday Little Brother. My Forever Friend.

November 16, 2017

Today someone very dear to me is celebrating a birthday. I will travel to Dublin later to enjoy it with him and as we hug in celebration a lifetime of wonderful memories will surround us. I wrote a post for him a few years ago. Today I’ve dusted it off and updated it. But don’t … More Happy Birthday Little Brother. My Forever Friend.

There I am in the paper #43.

November 3, 2017

It’s been a while since I posted one of my pieces from the Feelgood in the Irish Examiner. This was last weeks edition, inspired by the mid-term break. Last week I was struck down by a dreadful condition which affects large numbers of the population but most are unaware of its existence. The condition I … More There I am in the paper #43.

Storm Ophelia…I’m ready.

October 15, 2017

Apparently we here in Ireland will be slap bang in the middle of Storm Ophelia tomorrow. Up to a few days ago we were pretty oblivious to whoever Ophelia was and whatever she was doing but it would appear she is not impressed by our ignoring her. She has turned red and tomorrow is calling … More Storm Ophelia…I’m ready.

October 13, 2017

It’s been a hectic week. Yer man had a minor op, and in his haste to prove he was not sick and in need of no care whatsoever he decided to… Fix our phone…which wasn’t broken, but is now Mess with the modem…which left us four days without internet. However all is now good with … More There I am in the paper #42.

There I am in the paper #40.

September 18, 2017

Here you go another of my articles from the Irish Examiner’s Feelgood magazine. I think it could be titled, ‘The joy’s and sorrows of texting’ I love my phone. I know it’s not PC to say so but I do. Being a certain age I believe I’m part of the first generation to rear children … More There I am in the paper #40.

There I am in the paper #38.

August 30, 2017

Another of my articles from the Irish Examiner’s Feelgood. I have a confession to make which may surprise you…until yesterday I was an IKEA virgin. On many occasions I’d muttered, “I must go there someday,” but I never really meant it. However last week, perhaps due to an excess of alcohol swishing through my veins, … More There I am in the paper #38.
