Shankill Beach

Had a nice quiet walk with my husband, his father & stepmother, and our dog. Found an interesting looking rock.

Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Shampoo


Started to use it on Christmas Day. The foam the shampoo creates is so soft and it smells lovely.

やっぱりちょぴっとお高めのシャンプーはいいなぁ。

Hugh Grant

Watched 'Friday Night with Jonathan Ross' I had recorded last week. Hugh Grant was sarcastic & very funny (funnier than the commedian Eddie Lizzard who was also on the show).

Krispy Kreme Doughnut


It was one of my missions to go to Krispy Kreme in America. I've been to America for 3 years in a row and I've achieved it at last!


食べてみると結構普通のドーナツだったりする。でもアイルランドにはドーナツ屋さんがない!!

80s' Long Forgotton Music

While holidaying in Florida, I happened to listen to one of the radio stations which was having a 80s' weekend and playing nothing but 80s' music. As I listened to a lot of American 80s' music in my early teens, this was a bliss! And as lots of American 80s' music didn't make it in the European charts, I hadn't listened to many of them for years and years. The Irish radio just wouldn't play these songs. Songs like 'Jeopardy' (by Greg Kihn Band) or 'Sunglasses at Night' (by Corey Hart) had completely disappeared from my memory. But when I heard them on the car radio, I suddenly remembered my teenage self who was passionately watching the music videos of these songs.

高校生の頃はテレビ「ベストヒットUSA」でビルボードチャートを追い、雑誌『ミュージックライフ』をバイブルのように隅から隅まで読んだものであった。この雑誌はやたらヘビメタ関連の記事が多く、ヘビメタは全然聞かないのにやたらと情報には私は詳しかったのであった。マイケル/ルドルフ・シェンカ―兄弟とか、レインボウとか(苦笑)。
