Well ........!!!

An bhuil mé [am I] arais [back] arís [again]?

These are items at the top of the box of recently assembled things to be 'digitized and disposed of' (my new slogan to help me expedite this whole crazy process.

Anyway, today I sent off stuff to Claremorris Open - on the premise suggested by my friend Emer that I send in 100 in the hopes that one will be accepted! We'll see


TRAIN TICKETS
To and from Sligo this month as I went to invigilate at The Model. Have decided to finish out the year, but to seek a place in another gallery for next year.
ICE-CREAM TOP
This was part of my birthday celebration this year, my first visit to the new Grand Canal Theatre. They had ice-cream sellers with trays, just like it was when I was a child. The show, The Sound of Music was wonderful too.
DUCT-TAPE LABEL
Joey and I used this while securing some boxes in the new store-room
HAT LABEL
I bought this sunhat in a shop on Talbot Street, near the LAB gallery. It had white daisies on a navy background, and a little purse-like place inside the crown where the hat could be folded into.
However, I seem to have mislaid the hat, and hope I haven't lost it as it had quite a wide brim which gave me good shade in brilliant sunshine.
BAG LABEL
This is off the nice small bag on wheels which is just the right size to hold a few items, but not big enough for me to pack it over heavy.
NOTE-CARD
This is the card that Clodagh gave me inside the bag for my birthday.
GLOVE/MITTEN
This is quite an old item - in fact I will probably remove it from the 'throw out box'. It is the first item of Aran knitting that I did - a kind of experiment before I began the big pullover for Tony to replace one that I either lost or destroyed in the wash.
