A lovely day out, part 1 – Leap Castle
In which Laura takes me for a day out and we start by exploring a haunted castle…
Leap Castle (pronounced Lep) is situated deep in the countryside just over six miles or so from Roscrea and over the border from Co. Tipperary into Co. Offaly. Back in December 2016, from a shop in Roscrea, I’d picked up a hand drawn map with written directions to the castle ; some of my regular readers may remember the post I wrote about my longwalk to get there and my failure to find the place at the time. It was further away than the directions said and I came to the conclusion that Irish miles are longer than English miles. Following that walk I realised that if I were ever to visit this castle at all then I would have to somehow drive myself there, however Michael’s girlfriend Laura had recently said…

A Postcard From Turkey: Floating Restaurants
The photo was taken at Eminonu, Istanbul, Turkey.
These boats function as floating restaurants which sell the fish sandwich. If you’re in Istanbul, do not miss the chance to taste it, and get the experience to eat it with the locals.
Six word Saturday
They will never hold the rain!
Not that there’s much need for them round here, but they do work well for Becky’s Lines and Squares. She’s playing with Pooh Bear today, and Debbie’s riding around on a bus, in Six Words, of course. Why not join them? And have a great Saturday!

Best Cat Nap Places
Dear wonderful Reader,
Thomas here,
in between my naps a quick post.
I found new places for excellent cat naps.
First, a wonderful basket, I jumped in as soon it was empty.
Second , my mum’s drawer on her Computer desk.
I thought I better look up for a proper picture.
otherwise I just relax on the bin, the sun makes it warm.
All three really comfy places.
Try them out in your house, dear fellow feline friends.
Psst… don’t tell your owner you got the tips from me.
Have a purrfect nap on your favourite place.
“So tonight that I might see”
“Cause every single story
Is a story about love
Both the overflowing cup
And the painful lack thereof
You got the heart of a dove
But you play in the street at night
You blow just like a broken kite
My girl, you’re giving up the fight
You’ll have to lose all them childish notions
If you’re gonna let these American boys
Put another dent in your life”
–The Shins, 40 Mark Strasse, Port of Morrow

The single greatest lesson the garden teaches is that our relationship to the planet need not be zero-sum, and that as long as the sun still shines and people still can plan and plant, think and do, we can, if we bother to try, find ways to provide for ourselves without diminishing the world. — Michael Pollan
