This blog is getting more and more fun to read and comment on by the minute! Excellent.

 


I'm only sorry I can't get my head round uploading pictures yet and I don't have Nick's excuse of no cable. We were talking about arranging a few more blogging sessions and I think it would be a valued addition to this year's project. We'll let you know when we've sorted out some dates with Eelyn.

So nice to see your book recommendations Dunni and very helpful. I hadn't heard of the Roddy Doyle book and must look it up. At the moment I'm reading an adult thriller by Steig Larson called The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. It's really good but extremely scary.

Going to Sadlers Wells tonight to see Sidi Larbi (although he's not in tonight's performance)and the Shaolin Monks in a dance thing called Sutra. I've seen it before and it's extraordinary. You can't believe the human body can move in such a way. There are monks bouncing all over the place!
Aoife and Muirrean, that photo is hideous! It's not you two is it? You definitely need Nick's airbrush... and Maggie, you don't need to be cropped to look good. By the way, I've ordered a few battery chargers and rechargeable batteries so you won't have to keep buying new ones for those pesky cameras.

"Going to the dance was a fantastic experience. My grandmother who was very formal and austere used to take me to the ballet and i absolutely hated it"

"I think what i have learnt the most about this project is.......wait for it....is SELF BELIEF. If an artist or anyone, writes, sings, dances or sculpts etc and believes they have done a good job, well thats all that matters....i have doubted myself in the past, lacked believing in myself and what i can achieve....”

"We have decided to take Ryan and Naombh somewhere at least once a month and have figured that with our children its best sometimes just to get on a bus or tube and just see what's going on ,sort of exposing them to the arts accidentally there is so much to see and do"
