During one of my last visits to this cemetery, just a short trip from my parents’ home, I had parked my car below the circular drive ringing the crown of the hill overlooking the later plots below. I had set out then just as this day, to take photographs. This particular stretch pictured above has remained unchanged with not one stone unmolested by impetuous impulse. On that late afternoon in mid autumn some 25 years ago, as I returned to my car I heard the sound of cracking timber, then witnessed a large tree branch plummet a few short feet ahead of the front bumper, completely blocking my car’s passage to the exit. While I am not a superstitious person, this is the food of fable, and I recall embellishing various iterations of the event to anyone who would listen.
I have recently returned to my hometown, and I am beginning to visit my previous haunts, though I know not why I chose to begin with this spot. As I said, it is near my parents’ home. It was also not lost on me that a pub was located nearby on this balmy August afternoon, and would offer a
comfortable place to mull over these words. Daily I am visited by unkind voices, voices to heed things which I refuse to believe. Perhaps I wished to replace those with the voices of others with different perspectives, others with words of wisdom carrying melodies dancing through the madness, having
the ability to make any willing listener see as if for the very first time.
I think my next haunt will be a local jazz bar that I remember fondly. On one of my last visits there many years ago I was served by a young woman, unfamiliar to me in her role as bartender, but with whom I had a romantic past. I was not struck by her failure to recognize me, but rather by her failure to remember me after my attempt to prompt her recollection. Bitter was that
drink, but I digress.

Round Tower, Clondalkin, Dublin, Ireland.
Round towers are early medieval stone towers - it is thought they were principally bell towers, places of refuge, or a combination of these.
It was such a grey, colourless day, I had to make these B&W!
This one is a lot bigger and lighter in color then the last couple I found. green found in Country lakes.
Up early for a doctor's appointment today - as I suspected, all was well with the scan I had the other day and it looks like I did indeed have gastritis a few weeks ago, plus most likely a stomach bug more recently. Feeling much better now - although still properly knackered from our few days in Amsterdam!
Got into work early and had a busy day again - just have so much to do at the moment. I went for a walk with my camera at lunchtime - got quite a few shots, and also ran into an old climbing pal, Eric. Haven't seen him for years, so was nice to catch up briefly.
Had my appraisal this afternoon. It was fine, but I do seem to be taking on a lot for the coming year - feeling slightly concerned in advance...!
Finally unpacked this evening, and attempted to catch up on photos again. Much more still to do!
