Cor-ten Sculpture

I've written before how the extension to our house is clad in Cor-ten steel. Today at the Irish Museum of Art we saw this sculpture made from Cor-ten (weathering steel). It had developed a rusty patina just like our cladding.





Analysing Cubism

We visited IMMA today to view the "Analysing Cubism" exhibition. It was very enjoyable. I think I appreciated the work of Mary Swanzy the most.

Supper with my sister

Tonight my sister made me a supper of Clonakilty Black & White Pudding and Brown Bread.

If you are interested, here are the ingredients in the pudding.

Black: Oatmeal, Onions, Irish Beef Fat, Water, Dried Blood, Spices.

The white pudding has no dried blood in it but does have salt. Of course the other ingredient in white pudding is Irish Pork.

So delish!















Posh crisps!

What's your favourite crisp flavour? 

My sister and I bought some in Marks & Spencers today - Lobster Cocktail and BBQ flavour.  Oh my! What a taste sensation.

How to change a Smart Car panel

Someone crashed in to my car so I needed to change the panels over my back wheels. Originally they were red but I was only able to source black replacements - with a Smart Car you can mix the colours up a bit. It took my husband and Dad about 45 mins to do the job.













Dropbox

Yesterday I tried to organise myself a bit.  I've been seeing that Google Reader will be going shortly so I signed up for Bloglovin' to keep track of the blogs that I follow.

The other thing that I did was sign up for Dropbox and moved all my photos from my iPhone over.  Embarrassingly, I had over 2, 500 photos on my phone!!! I now have to delete them all :-(

Dropbox is useful for both storing safely and sharing of likes, photos, videos, etc.

BTW, the daffodils are in full bloom here in Ireland!

Pancakes

I attempted to make American pancakes with buttermilk. I don't know where I went wrong. They were very edible but they were not very fat and fluffy 😡

I ate two with bacon & maple syrup and then had one the traditional Irish way with sugar and lemon juice.
