I want to thank those who made lovely comments on my Egyptian and Italian photographs...that means a lot to me as well as any critique you may of left. I always seek self-improvement, so it is much appreciated. Taking the photographs into the sun proved a challenge to my Nikon point and shoot..but hey, they weren't too bad!
When in Egypt .. I forgot to tell you these two things. One, our pyramid guide called, "Mr. Omar" (complete with English accent) took us to an oil seller down in the bazaar. I was amazed to see in his journal the names of perfume houses in America and Europe signing to say they bought his oils! I knew they were genuine, so I got half a litre of lotus flower, rose flowers, and Sahara flower oil. Can you imagine the aroma of that ...real squeezed flowers oil :). So inexpensive as well!
My second little experience was while in the museum in Cairo in the "Mummy Section" the lights went out! It was pitch dark, and very very scary with all the Mummies around! (all of them ancient Kings and Queens of Egypt) so, Jane and I grabbed hold of each other and just screamed lol... Thankfully, the lights came on again on again quickly!

As one, or two of you may know I live in a rural area near the ocean and I have never seen this before in my life. Today, the bats are out and flying early.. they seem crazy, I mean *wow* aren't they supposed to be noctural creatures?

Wow, I see a sun, and a blue sky sunset in North West Ireland. Thinking, maybe summer is going to arrive soon? Weather sucks.. but then I guess that is why they call it the Emerald Isle. x

You know..I could of been a saint. The problem to that was well, I did like men, (met one exceptional one too) and I didn't want to die a virgin!

Gee.. what a week that was playing catch-up at work after taking ten days off. Especially being sick through-out it. I was working with another Auditor who came over from Scotland for three days. It was all arranged otherwise I would of taken a few days off to recover. I have today off though.. so hubby is taking me out for a carvery lunch at the local hotel which I will look forward too :) I love their soft silverside roast beef that just falls apart when you go to cut it. (Add mouthwatering affect here)
Later, I may take a drive up the coast to go see Mum and Dad. They live a few miles away from me but it would be nice to see them :)

Hilary Clinton said on her recent visit to Cairo that Egypt was one of the most important countries in the world. The majesty of all of that is reflected in my last set of photographs from Egypt.
I do have loads more though, and if you ever want to see any of these, then please do ask :)

Okay, so I am nuts. I wrote a letter to Peter Dinklage inviting him for tea with hubby and I. *rolls eyes* well.. If you don't try you will never get anywhere, and I ain't one to sit on my laurels about something!

I'm sick and tired of the mindless drones who spew what was bashed and manipulated into their heads without any thought to the science behind observation.
When you look at something like a stream of particles, it isn't what it appears to be. When you don't look at it, it turns into something different. How can this be? Welcome to the quantum universe!
The mere act of observing something changes it right down to the quantum level. Let's say I open up the flood gates of God in relation to quantum physics.
Every time we define God as a name, such as Jesus, Allah, and so on, we limit the object into one form. Since one cannot say that God has but one form, we would be dead wrong to try and define God as such.
You don't have to believe in God for God to exist, God is quantum energy! So, everything being energy held up by energy, including us, being the same as the energy that is God, no definition by man is correct. Not even the sound it makes when you say the word "God."
So have at it Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and so on. No matter what you define the universe as, you are wrong. It is best left undefined by any sound or thought form we can concieve of.
God has no name, so just live and be happy.

On arrival at Belfast City Airport the other day, a 'Game of Thrones' driver was standing ready to pick up some of the crew. I made a straight bee-line to ask him some serious questions, but gosh-damn it his phone rang, and I only got three questions answered before I had to go on.
I found out that Peter Dinklage was due on Friday in Northern Ireland (so he has been here three days) I also found out that the cast were filming in Shane's Castle, Antrim on Thursday past, and in Banbridge on Friday. I know they are coming up my way so I may take a scout around this afternoon..
The driver also told me that some of the security men may allow you to watch the filming from a distance...

Been ill since my return from Egypt, but I got to see the doctor yesterday so I am on the mend :) Hopefully get up some photos today or tomorrow. Sailing down the Nile at sunset was just about the highlight of my trip.. that and seeing/touching the pyramids :)

I am home from Egypt, and now I can say with a genuine authority how nice cool weather truly is :) I had a fabulous time and the photographs I have are amazing.. it was unbelievable how close you are allowed to go to ancient sites, and even more unbelievable, you were allowed to touch the relics! We saw the Crypt of the Holy Family, and the City of the Dead..both for the Coptic Christian and the Muslim.
Write more later.. but my thanks to all who kept giving me honour in my absence! I wasn't able to get on VR from Cairo.

In a very short time I will be just a stone-throw away from the Nile and Pyramids. How cool is that! I worked my fingers to the bone, just to get this vacation and often into the wee hours of the morning. Finally, I have no more work left to catch up on.. just a diary full of appointments for every day when I return... until the 5th of August. But who cares right now.. heh! Sun, sun, sun.. here I come :) I will miss my hubby though.. 'tis only me that is going, as this is the busy time in businesses he looks after.

Fed up with the rain and flooding, so I am going to Cairo in a couple of days, HOPEFULLY I will tire of the sun and crazy temperatures and long to be back in cooler climes again. In Cairo it is 20C higher than here..but I am looking forward to my trip. My niece is taking me to see the Pyramids, cruise down the Nille and we are going down to the Red Sea for a few days. Can't wait!.. Going to start my packing soon. :)

I think I picked up a penalty and three points on my driving license today for speeding in a 30mph zone! The copper had his speed gun pointed at me lol, and it's ironic because I was on my way to monitor driving training lol! Doh, could only happen to me!

Game of Thrones crew, so I am told by Mrs McCullough at the wee tea shop tonight in Ballintoy Harbour will be there during the last week of July. You can't go down there on the day of shooting, however I have been told you can observe them setting up the scenes and practising! So, I will be down there to watch that.. Lordy, it would be a shame to miss it!
Tonight, the weather was just fine and we took some great shots of the area where they are filiming the scenes.. including the cave where the black witch was born. I will put them up, promise!

I will never ask anyone to assist again, and especially when there are deadlines to be met! Just so YOU get it.. the CLIENT dictates the pace of work, and if you don't want to make that mark then don't ever offer your help to me again. You get it? The Client comes before having to walk your fuckin dog in the park.

Shame on you. ~Really~ I am truly surprised as I thought you were beyond that kind of behaviour. I guess you are right, you never truly know a person, and the mean side they hide from other people. Particularly online. It's a pity, as peoples respect for you, and what you do.. is just but an illusion. You have proved this in recent days.

Monday morning.. and two clients cancel their appointment today. Great! it's easy money as they received their letter of appointment confirming if they cancelled their audit within 10 days of audit date they would be liable for the full audit cost. I wish all my clients would cancel, and then I would get paid for doing nothing!
Not to be outdone.. I always have a back-up plan, so I doubled up on today's takings. * smart cookie look* Man, the traffic near bored me to death on the way home though but the day was worth it. :)

I cried today in utter disbelief that finally hubby consented to one of the biggest life changing things I could ever of hoped for! He has agreed to sell our home here to purchase another which my heart has desired for the past ten years :) It just was never for sale before.. and when I drove by yesterday I could not believe it had a for sale sign on it! I have been shaking inside ever since because I have never, ever wanted something so bad.
It is a beautiful 17th century home, on top of the cliffs overlooking the ocean and in the grounds of a castle. I can only pray, dream and hope things go the way we want.
In saying that.. the sun has just come out here in Ireland after being missing all summer.
