there he is!

*knock knock* I open the door..the plumber steps inside the house. He must have seen my surprising face (= firstly because of his appearance, secondly he rushes into the house before he would say hello) and hesitates for a second. „I am here to repair your toilet now, alright?!“ JEAH, alright. No, I would rather say damn great!

ok, everybody who actually crossed his fingers for me/us.. THANK YOU. It worked out and the toilet flush is working properly again. What a glorious day!

um vier verschwand die Sonne

ja, heute habe ich einen schönen langen Spaziergang um einen von Möven, Schwänen und fütterndend Menschen überfüllten See gemacht. Da die Sonne mich so angelacht hat, musste ich einfach raus! Und dann.. verschwindet sie einfach um vier Uhr schon wieder. Na toll! Aber dafür habe ich dann ein schönes Foto schießen können!

So, hier auch eins mit mehr Vögeln!

Ich wünsch euch allen noch einen schönen Sonntag!

Eure Nina

where’s the plumber man?

for all of you who havent had the pleasure to know or meet an „irish plumber“ yet..

Waterfalls, Cliffs and Sheep

My dear reader,

see the beautiful landscape we have seen on our tour of „the Ring of Kerry“. We passed breath-taking cliffs and beaches, the Torc Waterfall, Valentia Island and drove through the amazing manifold forest of Kerry National Park..

das ist Cork

I’ve uploaded some pics of Cork, see (more..) at the end of this post.

Bei Tag, am Abend und von oben (vom Sunday’s Well). Der Anstieg lohnt sich. Besonders bei gutem Wetter. Ja und zum Glück werden die Tage ja auch wieder länger.. und die krasse Regenzeit scheint auch vorbei zu sein.

Ein paar mehr Bilder gibts unter –>

it’s still Xmas on Valentia

see how people on Valentia Island still esteem their Santa Claus in the middle of January..! Funny xmas decoration on Valentia Island

Die irren Iren

Things you have to know about the Irish:

1. the bus is always late. (Cork: esp. bus no° 5)

2. so the Irish love to talk about traffic!

3. girls dress like bitches (see a sample picture here)

4. people in the bus always sit right next to the window -without placing their bags next to them-, so that other passengers can sit next to them. (that’s a huge difference to the german bus-using-habit)

5. the weather is changing faster than you can put on jogging shoes

6. young people go out mondays to sundays.. and drink a lot (of very expensive beer)

7. thank the bus driver at the end of the (save) ride

8. they can have a really strong accent

9. it seems that half of the inhabitans are polish

10. don’t mind living in old, stinky houses
