Too Much Negative Space!!

Yeah, so here are some more pictures for your enjoyment!!! I can't seem to get close enough to anything to not have the world's largest negative space in all of the these photos. But here we go!

Here is an authentic thatched roof attached cottage! Very expensive and only one company in Ireland will insure them. Highly flammable as you may well imagine! Smells like a hay loft!

This next one is of one of the two very old mills in Skerries...if you squint really hard you can jut make it out! I was on my way to pick up one of the kiddos and took a quick picture!

I took a picture of a really pretty church, one of many in Skerries, but it didn't come out! Sorry!

I am heading in to Dublin this weekend and will hopefully get some really awesome pictures!

Oh yeah, on a side note! Of course because it is so "feckin' cold" here. They keep a fire burning continuously. Well, the "bogs" are protected so they don't use wood! They use coal! May not seem odd to you, but it was to me...makes sense I guess because of an island and all! Here is the coal bin and my coal fire that I am damn proud of!

Some more Irish lingo:

When you are referring to a particular man in a conversation, instead of saying him or naming him, they say "yer man". For instance, "Yer Man made a right shet mess of it"

Press - pantry or drawer where food is stored

Lorry - Truck

Instead of saying "Uhm" like we do in America. They say "Ehm" and drag it out! or "Whataya Call it?"

In conversation, everyone takes there time and questions the ones around them who also know of the story!

"So we were down the lane, right John?" "And Ehhhm, whataya call it...in all fairness...isn't it John, that we made it out alive."

Needless to say you have to pay close attention! I find in general that everyone takes there time and that storytelling and sharing a laugh is very important! Can't we all take some notice of that!!

I'll write some after Dublin!
