hi hello anybody. i guess that we've all become incredibly busy again, as things get in the non-cyber-blog world. i just know that when i log on to this website that i feel that there is movement "out there" which of course there is, even if there is absolutly no visible evidence of it. so lately i've felt the need to be involved in somthing bigger, but i dunno what. It's just that we are all in our own little worlds, and just not connecting enough.

I'm running another Introduction to the Bach Flower remedies and Essences coming up shortly on Saturday 14th of July. It will be in room 8 at Milltown Park in Ranelagh from 10am to 4.30 to 5pm.

The day is a hands-on session of working with the Bach Flowers and attendees should come away with a good overview of Flower Essences and how to use them for yourself and in your practice. I've attached an outline of the course.

More detail on the course here:

Travel back in time to Saturday June 9th when Les Skalopes played in McGirl's. For everyone who was there and those who weren't...

hello , hello there everyone, this feels a bit like when people began to use phones for the first time years ago and they yelled 'ahoy ahoy' into the reciever. I know you are all there some where but i can't imagine where. Anyway i guess i should make a wish as this is my first blog "please forgive me" for somthing happens to you when you live out in the wilds of leitrim/cavan, i actually wanted to say how much i enjoyed the fayre on saturday and the very layedbackness and unstressfullness of it all. "A class divided" was very moving to watch - i love this hands-on approach to changing the "world".

OK - here's a real kicker.

Today I finished a major report for a client and decided to celebrate by watching the channel 4 news (yeh - geek girl!). So, they have a story about Carbon Trading - something I know nothing about - so I took notes.

Here goes what sounds like science fiction (and will you all just join the online library so I can swap some sci fi books).

Carbon trading came out of the Kyoto Agreement (or disagreement depending on who signed it).

Essentially, this is how it works. The carbon trading market involves big business buying credits for their emissions (read major pollution). If you go under your emission quota you can sell you credits to another industry that is over their emissions quota.

After a few weeks of lots of work and travel I was able to slow down this weekend.

Coming home to Ballinamore makes me feel very happy. And now I have the added pleasure of seeing how my plants have grown. Nothing's died and everything seems to be thriving.

Today I had the coriander and parsley on my breakfast and right now I'm sipping the lemon balm tea I made from the leaves of a new plant I bought yesterday.

One of the downsides of the busy work at the moment is that I tend to be less interested in socialising when I get home. Thankfully I have very persistent friends who somehow got me out of the cottage and down the street to the pucheen fayre yesterday.
