Run to the hills
Posted on | October 31, 2009 | 2 Comments
My heart is gladdened. This week, after an absence of a number of months, I managed to get back to the hills again. A few months back I tore ligaments in my ankle and was forced out for a bit. While my ankle still hurts a little if stretched in certain directions, I deemed it hike-worthy and on Wednesday, the brother and I set off for Tonelagee.
The weather was reasonable (for Ireland). Overcast for the most part and a bit of a breeze. Good walking weather. The going was steep and exceedingly boggy in places – ankle deep at times. Not a long walk, but good views and an interesting standing stone, inscribed with a cross.
Enjoyed it immensely. Glad to be back. Some more images over at my PicasaWeb.

I mostly sit around all day and drink tea. Occasionally, I write stuff and send it to strangers so they can humiliate me and deride my efforts. Other than the self-harm to dull the shame of failure, it's not a bad life. Like I say, there's tea.

That’s what I’d like to do … but with a dog for company. (Maybe your brother is a dog.)
Who needs a dog when I have good, manly and fraternal company?
