4) My internet was out for THREE DAYS!!



Topics that will be discussed:
1) A perfect moment...words I first read in JP Sartre's novel "Nausea", and a moment I experienced recently. In fact it was on Monday morning. I was standing on the platform waiting for the train at 8am. It was a stunning morning, clear skies, a cold wind and a clarity about the air. Herons were flying over, kids were going to school, it was a busy morning. I was listening to Radiohead, a song called The Gloaming from their last album, Hail to the Thief. For whatever reason, I immediately thought of another glorious morning not too long ago when I was driving the ol' Festy on some road in West Cork, Ciaran beside me in the passenger seat and we had the road to ourselves. We were off birding somewhere and we were in great spirits despite the ungodly hour of the morning. I could smell the cowshit, see the hedges, the fields and feel the power of the sea not too far away. It is on mornings like that back home that makes me feel so alive...a perfect moment.



2) Smells; I was getting in the lift at work on Tuesday and a girl got into the lift and stood in front of me while the lift was ascending. I don't know if you have ever noticed this but, when a person comes in from the cold they have an aroma about them that is clean, crisp, healthy and alive. She was just that...it was marvellous. It reminded me of someone I know but who shall remain nameless. A nice moment...



3) Roy Keane quit/got sacked. A legend of a man. I played against him you know and I appear in a photograph in his autobiography...the autograph signing session shall be arranged in due time. All will be notified. Anyway, I wonder what he'll do now.





Sin e, it's late, I'm tired and I just wanted to say something.

Something.

Carmo's Diet: today I have mostly been eating roasted chicken, toms, lettuce, black olives, green peppers on wheat from Subway (only 6g of fat folks!!)
