Home energy saving kits are now available to borrow at all Dublin City Public Libraries.
The Home Energy Saving Kits have been developed by Dublin's energy agency Codema and contain six practical tools to help the public save energy at home. The items in the toolkits address three key areas of energy use in the home - space heating, hot water and electricity consumption - and can help identify common problems such as lack of insulation, poor ventilation and the appliances in the home that might be driving up electricity bills.
so i was driving around looking for a feature. (starting to sound familiar, huh?) anyways, i couldn't really find anything. the area they needed it from is rural and it was a weekday.
so as i was driving back around 4, feeling defeated, the light was nice and i passed this field freckled with these backlit, glowing dandelions. i sped past thinking, self, make a note that these flowers look pretty at this hour. then i thought, hold up, who calls themselves self? right. me. then i decided to make a 3-pointer in a driveway, park, and lay on the ground amongst the flowers with my 200mm. i'm a total dork. i'm sure all the people in the cars speeding past agreed.
AND i forgot to make a wish.
if i had, though, the list below might be a place to start:
Things I Took For Granted Before I Moved Here (aka rural NE North Carolina):
fruitcakes. kudzu. kelton.
target. water pressure. 3 meals/day. bank of america. free time. thai restaurants. my own bath tub. people with a full set of teeth. shows. indie movie theaters. 24-hour-diners.
still... i could get used to this.
all except living without the top 3.
(editor's note: although, i don't really have anything against spiced cakes and devouring vines, fruitcakes and kudzu are nicknames. my BFF and my cat, respectively)
Aric did a great job during this process of shaving his head. He was really brave. We only had one little bout of not wanting to go thru with it, but since the whole back of his head had been shaved, he had no choice but to finish.
Beans, they are so easy to grow and so nice to eat. At the end of the growing you can save some seed for next year. You get all this then for nothing!
It is all a bit silly really as we have enough beans here to plant a field of them next year, but there is something about popping beans out of their pods that "once you pop you cannot stop" as the TV ad keeps telling me. T&J certainly enjoyed it all. We have here a mixture of runner beans and french beans. The smaller black ones are sweet peas, as you can see not all of them were fully ready as they are green and far from dried. These have gone into the airing cupboard for a while.
The beans are now in paper envelopes in a dry dark place in the garage, away from any mice and ready for next year.
There is a trend lately to design retro, penguin-book style covers and posters for popular movies and contemporary video games. Here's my take on the movie Saving Private Ryan.
Before we completely shut off the flow of Terrell Creek to install the new culvert, our biologists catch and transfer any fish in the work area. Once the fish are caught and moved, then we redirect the flow of the creek around the work zone so we can install the new culvert.

These coin collectors are intimately acquainted with the river, its currents and vagaries. And they are always there, under the bridge, waiting for the odd coin tossed by the devout.
This means that they are the first and most capable people on the scene in case of an accident. The police recognise this and request them to keep an eye out for such accidents. They are not paid for this service, but the coin collectors do not mind too much.
'Our duty' , they say.
To get the cheapest gas and electric quote just takes a few minutes as stated previously.
