About Flying Gurnards: Haven't seen any Flying Gurnards lately. Still like odd stuff. And sometimes I do stupid stuff and call it spontaneous. True story. I also don't have travelling shoes. They broke before I left home (omen?) and since then it's been mostly bare feet and flipflops although I keep killing them and consequently am on my fourth pair. I miss home. And everybody that makes it what it is. I feel fortunate doing what I do where I am. And I am still full o' love for life!

Thanks for reading Flying Gurnards & Other Concoctions.


With tons of love, big hugs and sunny smiles

Dubious Dublin

I have been to Dublin before but it has been a long, LONG time ago. So long ago I don't really remember much at all! So when the three of us decided to go there for a day I was looking forward to it. Shantelle bravely drove on the wrong side of the road into the busy city and we spent our hours walking mostly around the Liberties area where I came across Lucy's Lounge Shop which has everything from secondhand vintage items, awesome art and a tattoo parlor stashed inside. Naturally I fell in love with it.
Vance was magnetically drawn into every secondhand bookstore we came across and I indulged in one of my favorite things to do which is photographing street art and gig posters that have creepy Justin Bieber lookalikes on it. Time flew fast, so fast that we reluctantly had to leave to bring the rental car back to N-Ireland.
One thing I know for sure. Before I leave Northern Ireland I will go back to Dublin by train. To admire the old architecture and places we did not get to see and to visit some of the art exhibits.
And to spend an exorbitant amount of time reveling in Lucy's Lounge, of course.

Hands down best store ever

My photo
I vividly remember the first time I saw a pair of flying gurnards. It was a mesmerizing sight, not only due to my infinite love of unknown oddities but also because of the sheer grace and allure they exuded.
What would life be like without enigmatic experiences such as these?
