For some reason, actifit doesnt seem to work for me anymore. Every time i try to post from the app it fails. I havent been able to post since late last year, and had just stopped trying. I thiught id give

I don’t always go for a walk in the woods, but when I do, sometimes I take the dragon along.. When I made the decision to focus on developing my practice with the dragonstaff, I made a commitment to myself

Herself wasn’t at all excited to be staying in a castle for the weekend, you can tell just by looking at the dismay on her face in this picture 😂 It’s been a long and challenging year, so this little

Some days just don’t go as planned… No coffee for me this morning, as an unexpected power outage affected the entire town (and some neighbouring towns as well) so I had no way to make a brew. Got to school,

It’s that time of year again, circus fest time! A chance to catch up with my friends and colleagues from all around the country, and beyond! A time for seeing some amazing shows, and taking part in workshops

“Hes burning a book! “ cried out a youngster in the crowd, or at least that’s according to ‘herself’, for she was also in the crowd. Fear not kid, for tis not a book, but a mere facsimile; a book like

Traditional Irish Halloween weather arrived at Bunratty castle & folk park, by which I’m mean it was of course wet and dreary. But the show must go on! Another 6 hours of walking on peg stilts. What

So it resumes.. if last weekend was a gentle warm up for Halloween, we are now onto the main event 9 days straight, with multiple activities in various parts of the country. Kicking things off with Bunratty

Another school day for me, teaching circus skills to teenagers. Well, in reality I’m helping them develop resilience, problem solving skills, teamwork, effective communication, and other ‘soft’ skills,

Most of my steps today were taken in the area around my workbench, where I was prop-making for the Halloween fire shows. Oh, and of course at rehearsals, where we had singer, dancers, and fire performers

Another day, another event! This time I was at Skerries Mills, a heritage site in county Dublin. There has been a watermill on this site for something like 1,200 years, as well as windmills which are more

Well, silly season has officially begun, with my first event of Halloween 2025. Today was at Swords castle, a frequent haunt of mine over the last few years.. Before going to see mum in the nursing home,

There are many ways to burn calories, and this is one of my favourites.! Another evening of fire rehearsal for the Halloween shows, and it’s safe to say this practice was lit 🔥 Another practice tomorrow

First parkrun in a while, and it was a walk run, walk run, kinda parkrun. I haven’t been for a while due to either work and/or back/hip pain. And while I took it easy and kept my steps short to reduce

From this… To this… What a difference a day makes, 24 little hours… This single mushroom decayed so quickly, and its the only one I’ve see in our garden so far this autumn. No doubt there will be more

After our late night drive across most of the country, we were blessed to have another day with my partners dad before he passed away this morning. When it became obvious that treatment wasn’t going to

Rather than sticking to a date to celebrate our years together, we chose to be different and nominated a weekend. The first weekend in October to be precise. And so it was that we set off from Tralee to

Another dry afternoon meant I could enjoy practicing outside in the garden. After spending quite a while drilling individual techniques, I tried putting together 3 minute choreographed sequence, which

In some senses, it was a low activity day, but in others it was busy busy busy! The annual meet up with former housemates and workmates meant it was a late night last night, but in others was remarkable

Since fluffy was the star of yesterdays post, it’s only fair that maxi gets a feature today. Most of today’s steps were done bringing mom out for some fresh air again. We are having a few dry days together,
