I am often reminded that though Belfast is the “capital” of Northern Ireland, there’s a lot of great work going on throughout the province.

This morning I took Arlene out for breakfast as it’s her birthday. I’d also made a complete balls up of breakfast in bed, twice. So Blinkers in Belfast was the next best thing.

But the kids still love playing on the old one – the awesome device we got a few months ago is still awesome, even without FaceTime cameras (which the kids were playing with earlier between iPod touch … Continue reading “2011-3-2”

Arlene snapped this. I’ve not re-opened my email so if you’re waiting … Continue reading “2011-2-28”

I wasn’t well today during lunchtime but soldiered on to the end of the day finishing off some spreadsheets for one of my bosses so when I got home I closed down my email client and took a snooze with some headache tablets. Arlene snapped this.

Two young women painting in a shop window. Some smartypants is going to tell me that it’s the window of an arts college. I don’t care. No shop window should be empty in Belfast or Derry during March 2011. It’s Creativity Month, after all.
