Feeling like a "Normal Person".

 I headed over to Sligo to attend a seminar to help me decided on the next stage of my life!

It finished at mid-day on a glorious Saturday. So instead of heading home immediately, I decided to do a bit of sight-seeing.

I googled "Things to do in Sligo" and the first thing that popped up was to visit Streedagh Beach

...where many of the scenes between Marianne and Connell in "Normal People" were filmed. 

It was just down the road ( quite a narrow road, mind you) from the hotel so off I went.

One of my best decision ever. I know the weather helped, but it is definitely one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited.

Okay, I did not take this photo. You hardly thought they were still hanging around the beach two years later!!!

 I had to do a double-take too. They are very small horses, not very big dogs!

The backdrop of Ben Bulben was the icing on the cake..

Late, on my way home,  I saw a sign that pointed to Yeats' grave. I loved his poems which we did for the Leaving Cert, so I did a little detour.

Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven

W. B. Yeats - 1865-1939

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams

Eggcited, much?

 I am waaaay too excited about the new eggs cups I bought in Westport last weekend, coupled with the fact that a colleague of mine brought me in a half dozen of eggs from her free range hens. 

BEYOND EXCITED!

She reassured me that the reason they were all different colours....

There were two light brown ones, two white ones, a very dark brown one and a greenish-blue one....

was because she had hens of various breeds running around her back garden.

I have to admit each one was delicious, regardless of the colour of its shell.

So it just goes to show that eggs are like people....

It doesn't matter what colour they are on the outside, their yolk is the same!
