Theres that buzz, the inability to think about anything else, wanting to do lots of nice things; trips to the beach, sip cocktails - its all there, but i’ll be damned if it ever did any good.
My search for a Summer Girl has been going a little better than originally expected - all that’s needed is sun, ice cream and Botanic Gardens - and time is running out. Summer is running out! Its been quite a shite summer too in terms of the weather. Alas, it is not yet over.
16 days until my trip to the States then 3 weeks of bliss, mayhem and madness, and I still haven’t done any preparation. One thing I have to do is start and finish a presentation on Ireland for Amy’s class of 10-12 year olds, I must dispel any beliefs in rainbows, gold, fairies, leprechauns, endless fields and sheep. Its all about the roundabouts, traffic lights, brick houses, 3 door cars, no overtaking on the inside lane, no 25 pence coin, we eat crisps not potato chips, chips not french fries, its jelly not jello and we don’t all like U2.
Lots of photographs have to be taken before I go, around my house and neighbourhood where I grew up and where my parents still live, of my family and generally interesting things in my own life.
I also cannot spent a penny unless it’s for food. The deposit was paid today for the new place I’m moving into in Sept leaving me with not a great deal of dough. So… if anyone wants a photoshoot :)
As mentioned above, this summer has sucked. I mean, things are good, life is good, yes, but the weather, seriously - what the fuck!? So here are some summery pictures I took this summer and last to make things a bit brighter around here.

Gorgeous summery pictures perfect for brightening up the day. Can you tell the Amercian kids that leprechauns are not real and that the one in the lukcy charms ad is bullshit.
Umm that was meant to be ‘Lucky Charms’. I lived with a few American guys when I was studying in Scotland and they would pester me to do the voice of the leprechaun from the Lucky Charms ad. I believe Lucky Charms are a sugary American cereal.
Brilliant pictures, Phil. Ah, there’s nothing like blooming flowers, when the summer morning dew is weighing heavily on their petals.
Where are you going in the states? I found a summer girl, but she is the most malicious redhead I’ve ever met! :-)
