They all seem to be so talented. Like Homer they hold the attention of the listner. <BR/>Their slang is very musical. When they talk they seem to sing. I have an Irish friend married an Indian, who doesn't give me a chance to open my mouth, she has so much to say. I am so glad that you and don are having such a wonderful experience.raufhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14069291890495563749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-1153991127538936192006-07-27T05:05:00.000-04:002006-07-27T05:05:00.000-04:00Rauf, every taxi driver wants to tell us a story, ...Rauf, every taxi driver wants to tell us a story, it's wonderful. They love to talk and share their lore. We watched the new film "The Wind that Shakes the Barley" last night, a wrenching account of the Black and Tans who terrorized the Irish in 1920. Fantastic filmmaking, terrible story. But the Irish now seem so happy, so eager to live, I wonder if the young people have a clue what they have been given by those who fought so hard.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-1153990952448865992006-07-27T05:02:00.000-04:002006-07-27T05:02:00.000-04:00Healing Room, yes, I've heard of Findhorn, but onl...Healing Room, yes, I've heard of Findhorn, but only in the context of Eckhart Tolle's talk there.

If you disturb a fort (including walking there) you are likely to encounter misfortunate. I don't know where else you'd come across fairies. <BR/><BR/>Yes, I've been trying to remember that movie as well. With Sherlock Holmes, yes? Or Sir Arthur Conan Doyle maybe.<BR/><BR/>So cool about the "yarns" word verification!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-1153924744078225762006-07-26T10:39:00.000-04:002006-07-26T10:39:00.000-04:00Heather, did you see the heather photo too?

I do remember seeing a movie around 10 years ago...about fairies (what was the name of it??). I wanted to see fairies so badly back then.
