I tried to go out to Fota today - only got as far as the bus stop before I realised I didn't have my bank card. the next train would have been too late to get a decent walk out of it. alas, no cheetahs for me today (also no penguins).

like any good adult denied a trip to the zoo, I got an ice-cream cone as I skulked homeward.

this is over the Lee at sunset. I'm still not quite used to the ease of the process between thought and action; between 'I think I'll go for a walk' and actually going for a walk without pitstops along the way for lethargy and apathy to take over.

the students in the house behind ours are having a lovely time out sacrificing goats under the full moon... from the noise levels and random shrieking I think it has to be something along those lines.
