Day 5: A Place I Would Live but Have Never Visited...

Not Ireland, but I love this photo from the beach in Naples
Ireland. 
Specifically the West Counties.
Galway, County Clare, Ennistymon.

This was way to easy to answer. 

I definitely want to venture to Northern Ireland but I know deep in my heart that when I do visit Ireland my life goal will change from a beach hut in Maui to a cottage in Ireland.

I don't know what it is that calls to me about the Emerald Isle.
Every author that bases stories in Ireland, Maeve Binchy, Nora Roberts, etc. I devour the books and google the places they talk about.

D and I have been discussing a trip to Ireland in a couple years and what I really want to do is rent a cottage for two weeks near the cliffs of Mohr and just immerse myself in the village and lifestyle.

I don't really enjoy rapid fire travel. I love to just be apart of an area and absorb it. I've been lucky with my family to do a couple bike tours in France and Italy and I have to say, if you want to see a lot of country and really absorb the regions style, food, and beauty. Biking is a good way to do it. 

Of course we'd spend a couple nights in Dublin to see the city, but I know I'd be itching to get out of town and head to the west.

I can't explain the feeling. It's deep in my soul.

I know if I had traveled to Ireland when I was younger and single I'd probably still be there.
Rocking a wicked Irish accent.

(I have a special talent for picking up speech patterns, if you took me to Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas I would be speaking like a native within a week)

Back to Ireland.

I would move there in a heart beat I'm sure.

Plus they have some epic surf spots where I can sit on the beach, knit myself some Irish Wool sweaters and watch the professionals strut their stuff in the waves.

Where would you live that you have never visited?

PS: I also read the book 'The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society' years ago and I have to say that would come in a close second of places I would want to live that I have never been. I could easily spend two weeks there and be apart of the community.

I love that you want to rent a cottage and just stay there. we have had the dream of renting a place in a village in Italy and not go to the cities so much. Your dream sounds wonderful. I have a friend who goes to Ireland for the music festivals. She plays Irish Tunes and she is 1/2 Irish. It's fun for me to stalk her on Google Earth. I hope you make it one day and never stop dreaming.

I have officially been working from home. Staying home.  Self-Isolating.  Safe Distancing.  For three four months.  My last day at my office was March 12.  If I look back and track how this transition has gone it's roller coaster.  But if you really want an accurate accounting of how my time has been spent These pictures sum it all up Thank you Anna Hrochavec for your amazing inspiring patterns Happy End of June. May the odds be ever in our favor for July. Naked Gnome, Tiny Island, Unicorn tiny cat octopus. one of my favorites fried eggs.

Knitter Down...I Repeat, We Have a Knitter Down...

It's probably not that dramatic, well maybe it is, who can say for sure....but I can say this, right now from my elbow to my wrist is some gnarly pain that was flared last night after knitting 6 rows of the Shawl...SIX ROWS and then WHAMMO! so much pain. This isn't the first day I've had this, I've actually been ignoring for a few days ...okay, I've been ignoring it for a couple weeks but this is the worst it's been...So, I've made inquiries as to which doctor to see and am waiting to hear back to make an appointment...while I wait ice packs, and copious amounts of pain meds (don't worry by copius I really mean, recommended daily dose) are being taken with the shedding of a few tears while I fondle my knitting... stay tuned...this can't possibly last forever xoxoxo c. p.s. Fati...don't worry I have a plan if this whole wrist issues blows out of control...
