Listening to the rain belting the window early this morning, I decided that I was not getting up at 5.30am to make a delivery to S.V. Clonakilty, but would wait at least for daylight. I had that choice which so many don't. Even when I did get up, it was still raining. So since 7am, I've made a rather interesting Lebanese style omelette but included our black pudding. It tasted stunning hot & I'm now waiting for a comment from William and our employee, who have been working since 6am & they have the choice to eat it hot or cold. I've also made that delivery and just now finished at 11am with a meeting with our F.S.A.I. Vet.
We meet with the F.S.A.I. on a monthly basis to review our business premises; products etc. This has become a very proactive meeting with an exchange of views. We are determined that our quality is to the very best standards we can achieve and beyond. If we keep the little things right, the big things are easier to achieve.
Another busy day. Next a cup of coffee, then accounts and a brief visit to Clonakilty, where I must detour and see The Farm restaurant menu & opening times.
Until tomorrow
Avril

Ground rules

As opposed to my blog: http://rosscarberyrecipes.blogspot.ie , this blog will not contain recipes; details of events to come, but I want to use it to summarise in just a couple of sentences what life is like for an average woman living in Ireland - multitasking & never hitting the mark. Sometimes there'll be a photo or two, but this is a daily diary so entries will be ultra brief.

Horrible to wake late

Until I get in my van & head to visit good friends in Fenit & stay over in Tralee before heading to Dingle Food Festival tomorrow for the Irish Food Awards , I'm going to be playing catch up in a big way! They joy of being lazy in bed. Friends getting married & the reception is in Inchydoney Lodge tomorrow so I must drop off part of their wedding present; collect & lodge cheques in Clonakilty ; and then I'm told my van needs an oil change before I go anywhere! So I think I'll update my recipe & activity blog as I'm at it: http://rosscarberyrecipes.blogspot.ie .  Roll on Kerry! Until tomorrow.

Eulogies and Obituaries

Hi I've become quite fascinated in recent years with obituaries whether I knew the person or not. If that sounds morbid, it's not. It's really an opportunity for the writer to essentially write a critique of a person and his/her life. As long as there's nothing slanderous, I don't think there are any real limitations on what's written and published unless one takes the difference between good and bad taste into account. It's like a eulogy at a funeral. I had never heard a Eulogy until one of my grand-aunts died and on an unseasonably hot April day in Kinsale in 1976, I sat in the Methodist Church and really wondered if, somehow or other, I was at the wrong funeral. I remember taking a quick look at the congregation and, no, there was my family, Auntie Mabel's family, friends and relations. Then I wondered if the speaker could have been at the wrong funeral. In fact that's the conclusion I've reached and maintained in the intervening years. The
