I'll bid you good folks adieu for a little while. I'm flying out to Thailand tomorrow morning where I will be spending the next two months on retreat in a few monasteries around the country, and I won't be online.

Basically meditating. Up at 4am, no eating after 12pm, in silence, no phone/net etc. That kind of thing. Great craic altogether.

Anyway, I'll send some loving kindness to you all when I'm there, and I hope 2017 starts wonderfully for everyone.

That sounds fantastic Hotspur. I would love to do something like that. Maybe not two months as I would miss the hubby and kids though

Will be great to hear about it. Safe trip and Namaste

[Guest]

Setting up for my mom's workshop.

This is kind of part of what we do.

[Guest]

Yea that trip wouldn't be for me. I always thought Buddhism was a total cop out...centred my hole. Life is for living.

Hiding from the essence of being human is no way to live imo.

[Guest]

You can actually do something similar in Irish monasteries too hotspur. But Thailand will be ..away away..from it all.

To be honest...I think it's brave. I would not have the guts to face myself...without ...all the you know...accessories of life.

I do totally hide form the essence of being human...or maybe i just hide myself away i dunno.

[Guest]

I did a degree in Philosophy. You would be surprised....it's not what people think as a subject. It doesn't have practical applications in life either. But people rarely think full stop. People don't think about thinking. On whatever level. If you force yourself too. At least you are doing something different.

And being online all the time ....or being a writer ..or working in an office. Is that ...living more?

[Guest]

Although doing a degree in Philosophy ..the only thing I can about do after is go to law school or teach philosophy!
Go to business school the world is your oyster!

Is this a painting that she did? the horse is amazing. I used to love drawing horses. Hated still life but thrived on drawing Horses and dragons!

You sound like my kind of person! I am kind of into pagany wicthy stuff ..
I take still life classes. But also draw fantastical things.
YES! She painted it. She is brilliant. She studied fine art. But it's so hard to earn money ..so she taught it...and then did graphic design and started a business. But she also taught art in secondary schools. So often she does art workshops teaching adults art or kids or people from companies she designs for. I help her.

I want to write my book and Illustrate it.


These are illustrations she did for the stories Deirdre of the Sorrows.



And this is something she painted for a birthday present for me as a kid :0)

[Guest]

I can't remember if i showed people this. But this is by me :-)

Those are amazing. As for me drawing, apart from helping my daughter correct errors when she was practising for her junior cert I really don't do much any more. I had a collection of drawings of faeries, dragons and such stuff from when I was between 15-25. I lost it all in a move and was gutted.

You should go ahead and do a book with illustrations. Something solid to have to look back on!

According to his documents he is a papillon but has to be mixed with something as taller, stockier and angrier.

[Guest]

I am sorry about losing them. I understand that. I think whatever happens with the book etc ..i want to do it . I don't have expectations...i just know i would be sorry if i didn't :-)

Your gift will always be there for you. Maybe one day ..you will sit down ..and it will be there. :-)

Your art is brilliant P&F. I will return to it when I get to breath! I have a metal moulded dragon to paint I got in a factory in Cork. It would have been one of Tolkiens dragons and they did all the metal cast figures like Gandalf, Smaug etc The factory hadn't finished it and I asked if I could buy it. I got it unpainted for €20. They sell them for over €100. Must take a photo of it. It is fabulous.

[Guest]

I think i showed you these already.
This was tiger :-) I gave the above as a present to my brother

Whoop. A day on the Lakes of Killarney with Teddy.

[Lazare]

My neighbour has a dog like yours Dobby called Buddy. He's always perched up looking over their 2m garden wall, went out last night and called him, up he popped and I gave him the bone from my joint, still with chunks of beef on it and wished him a happy xmas. He looked happy, as was I.

[Trippie]

My dog's name is Buddy too. We are probably getting a cavalier king charles like this one and calling him Barack O' Bama. Either that or Flash

It felt right.

We played YouTube jukebox last night and I got reminded of a song that I can't understand how I needed reminding.

This imo is absolute perfection. If I was forced to listen to one song over and over until I died, this would be it.

Can't choose which version though, like trying to pick your favourite parent....

Should probably be careful about giving a dog/cat a cooked bone. Uncooked is fine, but cooked can splinter/break up and cause damage.

Oops, he's still alive and barking today thankfully.
