Vrrrooom!

I jiggled to Kíla with my right eye on the peaks of Errigal as I pootled up and down the lanes on my adventure out to the post office this afternoon.  I’m still a terrible driver but I have been very lucky and for this I am grateful.  Despite all the drama and expense it is very enjoyable to just leave at will and go as far as your tank will take you.

I haphazardly came across Ian and Sarah’s home on the way back.  He’d drawn a kind of map but I’d forgotten to bring it with me.  I’d not left with the intention visiting them, just kind of chanced a road I thought might be the one.  Unfortunately at the time I decided to use that road/laneway it also occupied by a bus, maybe the local school bus, but I negotiated my way past without incident.  I had travelled up the road quite a bit and had given up and was looking for a somewhere I could turn around when I found the ideal spot.  As it turned out it was actually Ian and Sara’s home but they were leaving.  Now that I know where they are I will collect Sara for life drawing class in Gweedore tomorrow.

This will be the second lift I will give tomorrow as I will be dropping the Joyce family to Gortahork to catch the bus to Dublin in the morning.  We aim to leave before 7am so I am planning to go for a walk on the beach after I have dropped them off.  I haven’t been, but I am told Maheraroarty beach is the place to go. I haven’t seen the Atlantic since February so I am looking forward to spending some time together.

In art news: It wasn’t forecast but we got a little sun today so I made some progress with the cyanotype prints. Slow and steady wins the race!
