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

The Adoration of Craft Beers

A good pal of mine and I take snapshots of beers encountered and we e-mail them to each other with a short description. This has been going on for years, and each place I travel to I am on the lookout for finely crafted deliciousness on tap so that I can send him a detailed report whereas he makes me jealous with BC brews he runs into along the road. The apple of his eye is a crisp IPA whereas I like darker brews with unconventional ingredients and we both dig microbreweries big time.
But when it comes down to having a favorite it is like taste in music: Variety is key thus sticking to one type of beer would be akin to playing one record over and over again. Ugh.  Below are a few of my most recent infatuations here in Ireland and Scotland. Cheers!

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?
