Guess Who’s in town?
It's the love of my life Kimberlee! Yay! She'll be here with me until the morning of the 7th. Thanks for coming to visit me Kimberlee, I love that you came over here to meet all my people.
I won NaNoWriMo
So, there's this thing called National Novel Writing Month and I entered. National Novel Writing Month is held over the course of November, and you've got 30 days to write a 50,000 word novel. I entered, with an idea that I've had for a while and I reached 50,000...
The Igloo
So after spending a wonderful evening at Cafe Magnolia Sinead, Eamon and I returned home to find Frank and several of the neighbours building an igloo. It was magnificent, and here are the pictures. More after the jump of the completed igloo. The igloo was big enough...
The ball is well and truly rolling
Hey everybody! You guys remember Kimberlee? Of course you do, if you know me at all I never shut up about her. Today, the 12th, is our anniversary. On this day last year, we met in person for the first time. You can go and look if you want, it's all there in black and...

Today, I am Jimmy Doyle
Jimmy Doyle anyone? Gene Hackman in The French Connection? Anyway, this hat is very similar to Gene Hackman's hat in that movie. Got it in TK Maxx for a tenner. I love it when the shops get the winter hats in. Check after the jump for the other hat I bought today. I...
Zinc Saucier Edition 12 – Pizza
I have wanted to make something pizza based since the calzone fiasco of a little while ago. And man did this ever taste fantastic. Click after the jump for a sausage pizza recipe. This recipe looks really lazy when I read it out, but it produced cracking results. 1....
Zinc Saucier Edition 11 – Steak Casserole
Hey look ma and Kimberlee, vegetables. Ok so this one is relatively easy. I realized that a pepper sauce that involves a dairy product is nasty as all hell. So I replaced the dairy product with red wine. And it worked like a charm. It's a very simple recipe, so simple...
A note on posting
I've mislaid my camera, so I have a few things waiting to get posted. I'll post them when I get a chance. Thanks for hanging around.
A success! Now we’re rolling
So in my previous post I mentioned that I was selling stuff to fund my trip, and that I was knocked back. Today I received payment for the coat, which auctioned at a good price, and I popped it into the post and it was whisked off away to Germany. About a week ago I...
A Knock Back
I've never really made it public on this blog about my intentions regarding... life I guess. Often I sit around and wonder what I'm supposed to do with this blog, and the other day Kimberlee my beloved suggested that I blog about what my plans are. My plans are...
The first ever Mc Girr Family Tartan
So after some false starts, and a little back and forth, the tartan is now in the registry. The Mc Girr family has an official tartan now. The next step is to get together enough cash to get the material loomed, and then made into a kilt. There is a donations page if...
