internet cafe in bantry town

i painted a fence. i watched the dutch version of american idol, called the x factor.

yesterday reinoud picked up new goats. one female (milking goat and mama) and her two babies. i got to name one, the black and white one with floppy ears is Mo. then, the white baby... HANNAH! i have a goat named after me in Ireland...

my hands hurt from working. i'm in an internet cafe at the moment.. the farm has internet but the connection dies after 3 minutes or so. it feels so nice to type again. i didn't think i would miss that from work.

Bantry town is lovely. small like Truckee, only a few roads through town. the church bells are ringing... ding dong ding dong. might stop by the pub for a murpheys, then some errands.

i haven't milked yet, but tomorrow we will start. also i made my own batch of homemade wine this morning. wowzers.

sometimes the dutch whisper in dutch... like i can understand.

the last 3 days have been sunny and clear skies and wonderfuly beautiful. only one good rainstorm. more rain, more rain, more rain!

i wonder if anybody reads this blog business... my guess is no. it's fun to write though. a place to collect my thoughts. i'm extremely tired today, in the best way possible.

time to pick up some oats for hannah and mo, then a walk on the beach so the dogs can swim in the ocean a bit, then back from Bantry to Glengarrif to... somewhere, the farm has no name.

life is good. <3
