Event Guide

22 September, 2011
Posted in: Family, Ireland

Some colleagues said to me recently that I am like an event guide. This may be true. Sometimes I think the children wish that they could be let stay at home a bit.

We have been harvesting fruit:

004

Cycling in the city:
008

Watching canoe water polo (you haven’t lived):
011

Observing the man-made desert island in the Liffey (it’s art, someone lived there for a week, except for a break during the gale)
007

Chopping wood and doing other outdoorsy things in the forest:

Sampling culture night. The only actual culture we experienced was a quick concert for children in the Ark. This was a mixed experience. The performance, a violinist and a guitarist, was delightful [I subsequently discovered that they are married to each other and have two small children – her sister was in school with a colleague – welcome to Ireland]. The performers were terrific and very good at engaging the young audience. In one segment they played themes from television shows. On the very first one my boys were out of their chairs yelling “Ben 10” before the performers had played two notes. Mortifying but a triumph at the same time – see all those hours in front of the television weren’t wasted.

And then, on Sunday, I took my mother to watch the Solheim cup.

    You should try playing canoe polo. It cured my fear of falling in – I never did. I played occasionally in the Scouts. In my day, mind, we never had helmets either…

    Sarah, that’s terrifying.
