Yes indeed- this afternoon and tonight I’m bringing out my ole ukulele , hitting the towns and pubs for a little Ukulele Lady delight.
Today is the Demon Festival in Dromahair sir and I was invited to do a little busking. I arrive at 4 and play for an hour or so. (Might very well get a bit a coin from the passing ladies and gents-who knows???)
Then tonight at McGirls Pub in Balinamore our favorite promoters -Those Guys with the Book Store are having a Leitrim talent show. Me-self, The Shakallyhags and the Skull Folks ( I don’t think that’s their name but its’ close) are playing as well as Faerie Joe on decks and Harper Andy on the harp. Should be mad and groovy and altogether fun.
Here’s a thoughtful quotation. Tell me which do you choice?
“We either make ourselves sick or we make ourselves happy.
The amount of work is the same”
-Carlos Castaneda
Interesting isn’t it???
Where was I ?-right…..
In fairness… Our favorite promoter’s ( next to Poo Productions and Jasper, can’t forget about the number one Punk connection to the county) the other guys have a terrific shop call the The Inkspot in Carrick-on-Shannon. Please visit it when your strolling through. Its in The Craft Alley beside the Bush Hotel. There is a number of eye-catching shops, stores and a delightful gallery.
You all know about my dog Puppy Dog ( aka the Wee Bad Pig).. let me introduce our cat … DECLAN (named by a good man, a helluva banjo player, a former Drumshanbo-ite, even though I can’t understand a word of his lightning, quick Belfast accent Dominic McWilliams. He also suggested “Wee Bad Pig” for the dog, which I use for official purposes and the like. So there you go… Declan ( aka Rat Catcher) There are no rats around my place- Declan seeks them out, drags the back home, ( kicking and SCREAMING- if you never heard a rat scream, I wouldn’t go looking for it)
Thats our lad. Currently the only male in the house, but that’ll soon change. Wait till my two legged hair-less boyfriend comes in then we’ll see who’s boss.
Poor Pup , it’s “Meow- I’m hungry where’s lunch?” and, “Meow, I want that comfy chair NOW”
So up gets The Wee Bad Pig and fixes a sambo ( for all of us, well you know, while she’s up …) or the dog heaves her old self off the only soft chair in the place. I had a good look at pup’s face today-one of her eyebrows is turning green… Moldy-like. Thats age for you huh. ( Hhmmm best take a look at mine..)
Thanks for clicking in.
catchcha later xx
always,
