What appeared tp be a young stray dog was wondering around the local town/dump .The first time I saw him I knew what was going to happen and it did,he's now here.
The papers will be watched in case anyone reported him missing.The cats are getting used to him and Pheobe doesn't mind much either.
If he's not claimed then it will be the usual mayhem of dealing with a very livey dog ,again.

Current Mood: excited

All four Swallow chicks made it and have flown the nest.They were flying around the garden this morning.

once again the Swallows have nested in the shed.I first I thought they'd left it too late but I've looked and there are chicks in the nest.I shall keep a close eye on them.

Anybody going to this?I've just bought a standard ticket but on reflection I think the gold would have been a better choice.

Sunday we drove out to the mountains,I think its amazing one moment you're in a city and an hour later you 're in snow covered mountains.
Snoqualmie Falls was breathtaking,see it if you can.
I've been in San Francisco the last three day which has been an enjoyable experience.I saw the beautiful Redwoods along with the Golden Gate Bridge.
Today I went to the science museum which has a great aquarium and a fascinating rainforest exhibit .
The Japanese tea garden was a pleasant tranquil place and I managed to get close to some squirrels in the botanical gardens which is something of a tradition on my trips.

Comment to this post and I will give you 5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given.

Opal gave me music, erotica ;), western shirts, heart, wood.

Ok I'll give it a try.

Music, From an early age music meant something to me,it makes me feel happy in a way that nothing else ever has.When you're down in the dumps  a great piece of music can pick you up like nothing else.I love it when you just have to tap your foot because its so infectious.

Erotica, When its written well(thats you Opal) its as worthy as any other literature .Face sometimes you need to read some or watch some.So long as its well acted(not to mention featuring the right actress ,we know who).
It can add to a story,make you understand the characters add realisim.
Thats my defense and I'm sticking to it.

Western Shirts,I love their colour, particularly black based ones. love their wonderful colour and decorations.They can be both outrageous and elegant,I want more!

Wood,When its a tree its a thing of beauty and vital to life,its vital to musical instruments such as my beloved guitars.It creates objects of beauty,both visually and aurally .I live the feel of it,working with it.
Wood is a wonderful resource that we need to protect and conserve,imagine a world without it.

Yesterday we drove to Vancouver,it was my first American road trip(well mini one).I experienced drive thrus and talk radio.Over here right wing means RIGHT WING.
Vancouver was as lovely as ever.I want to visit again,hell I want to live there.

Today I wandered around the city again ,went to the Experience Music Project and saw some lovely guitars and some interesting Hendrix memorabilia.

Back in Ireland there was a big protest march over Government spending cuts ,good,bring on the torches and pitchforks.

I'm still getting over a cold but it didn't stop me enjoying Seattle yesterday.I liked the waterfront and find it a very scenic city .The greenry is something I'm not used to seeing in a city.

Its great when eyour friend owns a bar,you just need to be careful around cherry bombs.

Current Mood: cheerful

The flight from Dublin to Chicago was tedious but I'm now in Seattle and feeling better apart from my first case of jet lag,usually i never feel it.
