electric picnic

here's a photo i just got forwarded from one of the music festivals i did this summer (well Sept '07). Some of the guys who were working with me: Maria from Argentina and Ritxard and Lorena from Spain. It was great fun and there was lots of bindis and hula hooping. (hence my interest in the you tube video on the bottom of this screen!)

This was what I thought the portages would be like... it was the last and only one that you tell was a portage.

Flamenco Orange and Brazilian Hammocks

Hi there,

Back from the world of oil paint fumes. Spent the entire weekend painting our previously army green and beige kitchen into a very happy 'flamenco' orange with white cupboards. But boy, I won't be doing that again, what a lot of work!

These are the boys all having their midday rest from the painting in our new brazilian hammocks.

courtneys new ride!

here's the pic of the new camper van that luka and i acquired on our journey to germany this summer. well, new to us, its a 1988. it has a pop up roof, and sleeps 4. so, plenty of room for us if any of you come to visit us! we haven't yet had any opportunities for any adventures in ireland in it, just the adventure of bringing it home! we'll post new pics when we take our first trip, we're planning one for mid=term break at the end of october. . will be chilly! i'm accepting any ideas for color that any of you could put forth... so far, the idea is possibly bright orange! and my friend chupi, has some green velvet which she will upholster for me in the interior. what do you think?
