Her Indoors

The title of this post is from a favourite phrase spoken by Arthur Daley in very popular 1980's British TV series 'Minder'. I always wondered if 'her indoors' every appeared outdoors; and indeed what kept her occupied indoors all day long. Today is one of those days when I'm finding out what 'her indoors' might have done - changing beds, vacuuming, using the washing machine in a vain hope that at the end of the day, there will be no more dirty clothes, and so on.
To be honest, I find housework faintly depressing as it's rarely noticed when it's done right, but everyone is aware when it's not done at all.
However I've also been typing some of my recipes and all going well, they'll appear over the next few weeks in my other blog. My biggest problem is that I love nothing more than sitting down and browsing my cookery books for the next recipe I want to try & that's exactly what I'm going to do now. It's horribly wet outside & if I don't have to go out today, I won't!
Until tomorrow

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
