TheIrishClog @TheIrishClog (985) • Ireland 3 Jun 12

Last night, after watching Snow White at the cinema, I was standing at the door with some friends when a local senator here in Ireland from a small town local to me slowly ambled out the door, clearly highly intoxicated, wandered...

Ugh... One of those Days

TheIrishClog @TheIrishClog (985) • Ireland 19 May 12

I went to sleep last night with all good intentions of getting lots done around the house while my man was away doing a day's work. It's not often I have the opportunity to be left home alone so that I can motor away at my own...

Favourite Natural Exfoliant

TheIrishClog @TheIrishClog (985) • Ireland 19 May 12

For me, it's newly discovered and so far of all of the things I've tried in the line of exfoliants/facial washes, it's my favourite. Baking Soda. It's cheap, natural, not harsh on the skin. What more could a girl want? Oh yes,...

New Fridge

TheIrishClog @TheIrishClog (985) • Ireland 14 May 12

The fridge that was in the house when we moved in has been having trouble keeping things cold and stopping them from spoiling, so, we went to one of the electrical retailers in a town 25 miles away to choose a new fridge. It was...

No Icing on my Biscuit!

TheIrishClog @TheIrishClog (985) • Ireland 7 May 12

So, I was making my way ferociously through a packet of Cafe Noir biscuits (they have a lovely coffee icing on 'em that I can't get enough of and it was a comfort food day), when I suddenly came across one that had no icing?! I...

Proud Woman - Girl Power!

TheIrishClog @TheIrishClog (985) • Ireland 15 Apr 12

I sure am. Guess what? I used a drill to screw a shelf on to some brackets yesterday. I'm a girl, not a girly girl, but a weakling all the same. Yet I can mark out wood, use a saw, use a drill to screw stuff in, rewire a...

Darned Shop. My Cheese!

TheIrishClog @TheIrishClog (985) • Ireland 15 Apr 12

I'm a fussy git. I am. I'm Dutch, I was raised on Dutch cheese. When I was younger here in Ireland it was a nightmare trying to get proper Dutch cheese. You'd find lots of Edam and Gouda everywhere, but in the little black rimmed...

Alcohol, Culture and Pioneers

TheIrishClog @TheIrishClog (985) • Ireland 11 Apr 12

Do you drink alcoholic beverages? Beers, wines, spirits etc.? What's your favourite tipple? I don't drink. Well, I say I don't drink, but I do take a drink or two once or twice a year (at most). Here in Ireland, it's a drinking...

Cooking Two Dinners - Arg.

TheIrishClog @TheIrishClog (985) • Ireland 10 Apr 12

My hand has been forced. Since 'discovering' my pork allergy, I have cut it out completely. The two separate days I chanced a sliver of it, it severely aggravated my poor digestive system for over 24 hours. Obviously if you're...

What's Your Go-To Food?

TheIrishClog @TheIrishClog (985) • Ireland 9 Apr 12

When you couldn't be bothered cooking, what is your go-to food? For me, it has to be some form of pizza. If I'm feeling like a pig, it's a full blown pepperoni pizza, when I'm feeling like I shouldn't be eating a full pizza,...

Recycled Garden

TheIrishClog @TheIrishClog (985) • Ireland 9 Apr 12

We recently decided our garden was in desperate need of a makeover. We live in a rented house, so didn't want to spend much money. The garden is quite literally a bog. All we had was mud (no drainage at the base of a hill with...

Something New

TheIrishClog @TheIrishClog (985) • Ireland 4 Apr 12

I did one of those Rustic Chicken Season and Shake things for dinner tonight - I thought I'd be brave and try something new. The man of the house is a tad fussy to say the least with new foods, but always willing to try them. I...

Too Close to Home

TheIrishClog @TheIrishClog (985) • Ireland 1 Apr 12

It's always scarier when it happens so close to home. We recently had a murder in a very local town, these things don't happen often around here and I don't think it's ever something I'll get used to hearing about. Even in...

Luck Turned When Counting Pennies

TheIrishClog @TheIrishClog (985) • Ireland 1 Apr 12

We took on a job here at home recently, temporary as it was and managed to make ourselves just under €200 for a small local greeting card business. We were offered the chance to pack cards for them @ €0.05c per card. We grabbed it...

Smack in the Eye... Thank You!

Grumbling, tossing and turning and muttering aggressively at nothing, my other half was a little restless last night. I asked him to settle down and I got told to 'eff-off'... I gave him a pat on the shoulder and told him to relax...
