Not so clever: 2005/10

A grumbling cookie that never crumbles, from Dublin. Sunday, October 30, 2005. The dormouse sits guarding his blackberries. He is comfortable, but ready to pounce on any flies or insects that dare to attack his quarry. Almost all of the blackberries are ripened to a deep red, so deep they almost shine black. Those that have not darkened fully will add a gentle sour flavour to his meal. His eyes, almost the same colour as the fruit, cannot contain the anticipation of the delicious meal that awaits him.

A grumbling cookie that never crumbles, from Dublin. Monday, November 29, 2004. A w/end. Spent Saturday running around town buying delish food to scoff - bread in the boulangerie near George's St. Arcade, salami in the sausage shop. Opposite the entrance to Powerscourt Shopping Centre, cheese in Sheridan's Cheesemongers. MMMM. Imagine if you will, me on Saturday morning, never having tried Tomato and Fennel Bread. The. And tomato relish, I snear upon Foccaccia from Tesco, with its excuse for rosemary.

A grumbling cookie that never crumbles, from Dublin. Saturday, March 26, 2005. Happy Birthday Robert Frost. I guess I don't take life very seriously. It's hard to get into this world and hard to get out of it. And what's in between doesn't make much sense'. Robert Frost, 1962. B 2603.1874, d. 1963. Check out some poems.

A grumbling cookie that never crumbles, from Dublin. Monday, February 27, 2006. It still has to be grinned at, the thought of my mum sending me emails and rude forwards. The woman who put the prim in primark (ok, so that makes no sense), the lady who refused point blank to refer to sex as anything other than making love, regardless of context. Even yet I cringe! And now, she's sending me forwards of lusty men. Plus: religion which was like God to her (hee hee) is now replaced by Angels. The news starts o...

A grumbling cookie that never crumbles, from Dublin. Tuesday, January 31, 2006. Making bets with oneself. Or the day I realised I suffered from o. c. d. This afternoon I fell foul of one of my quangos, namely the habit of making bad bets with myself. A friend had just suggested a dastardly plot that sounded too good. So I was nice and polite, but didn't get too exuberant, thus ensuring that if it came asunder we would still be friends and if it came to pass, I could then get excited. Green Party - John G...

A grumbling cookie that never crumbles, from Dublin. Tuesday, February 06, 2007. I've had a very busy new year when I come to think of it. There was the big decision. That is to actually hand in my application for a career break. I don't know what made me take the plunge in the end, but I did, and here I am. Only seven months, less until I get out of Dublin. Until I get married. I am so excited, nervous, terrified, afraid, happy and all the bundles of feelings. I didn't think it was allowed to be scared.

A grumbling cookie that never crumbles, from Dublin. Thursday, March 30, 2006. For some reason, self-loathing or self-mischieviousness, I'm putting myself in the unfortunate state of being laughed at this evening, by a live audience. Things I'm learning about stage fright in this reality car crash tv without the tv experience:. A Rabbit in the Headlights - This is a true statement (my pupils currently are larger than my eye sockets). C S*itting oneself - Where's the bathroom? Wednesday, March 22, 2006.

A grumbling cookie that never crumbles, from Dublin. Thursday, December 23, 2004. Should I stay or should I go now? Just got word that I was successful in the interview yesterday. Dazed and confused (in a happy way). Didn't expect to get it, but now I'm getting the wibbles about moving. Why am I never darned certain about anything? Posted by aoife : 1:53 am 0 comments. Tuesday, December 21, 2004. Posted by aoife : 1:57 am 0 comments. Friday, December 17, 2004. Why Not. Why not indeed. Had to go back to b...

A grumbling cookie that never crumbles, from Dublin. Tuesday, September 27, 2005. Had to drive to the midlands today for work. I think the name 'midlands' sounds quite Tolkien-esque, which is a bit of a compliment when you consider that I was headed to the car choked streets of Tullamore. I was able to focus my attention on what I normally do on car journeys in Ireland -. A Snigger at how furiously hick a lot of things are. Aw, the golden age of Irish Architecture / Signage circa 1964-79 - when sadly it ...

A grumbling cookie that never crumbles, from Dublin. Sunday, June 26, 2005. Albie Sachs - an inspiration. Mrs Grootboom decided she had had enough.' So began Albie Sachs' illuminating speech at the Inaugural Human Rights Lecture last Thursday in the Law Society of Ireland. And always he spoke from the heart. His attitude to drafting the initial version of the South African bill of rights, was to sit at a large bare table, devoid of papers, and to write, for as he said, these rights should be obvious,...
