My ebook should be ready sometime in April (2006!)

I have been working like a trojan for months now and at long last, am beginning to see the end of it. However, or should I say 'but', it has been the most mammoth task I have taken upon myself for years.

Writing the book was the easy part because it's all from my own experiences. Putting everything in place with regard to all the 'techie' stuff has been a nightmare!! Do you realise how many processes you have to go into to put something online?

It has been almost a year, and probably will be, by the time I get the book 'live'. That's a year of complete social neglect. Every free hour has been spent finding my way around all the various processes.

One of the benefits has been that I have learned an enormous amount. It has been a fantastic opportunity and I have loved every minutes (well almost every!) of it. Perhaps that will be my next book - who knows!!

Ireland and 'The Luck of the Irish'

Who has not heard that saying? Yesterday at Twickenham, UK, Ireland won the Triple Crown in the great sport of rugby – in the final 99 seconds by Shane Horgan.

I down tools to watch the game on Saturday. It was an amazing and nerve wrecking game throughout. Both sides took it in turn to lead the match and just when it looked like England were going to win, Brian O’Driscoll, in fighting spirit, make a break down the right, he passed to Shane Horgan who determinedly steaked to bring the ball just pass the line and into victory for Ireland.

Just brilliant!!

And this was after Ireland had won the Cheltenham's Triple Crown due to the brilliant ride by Conor O'Dwyer riding War of Attrition. The Gold Cup was presented to the trainer Mouse Morris and owner Michael O'Leary.

Irish horses came second and third as well.


What a great week for the Irish!
Oh! By the way, did I mention that I am Irish too!!

Unique Irish Aran Knitwear

If you want a warm, comfortable, classic and unique knitted garment to wear at the weekends or during those cool evening walks, you would not go wrong by investing in one of Ireland’s traditional hand knitted Aran sweaters or jackets.

They are so distinctive and attractive that they always command complementary comments whenever you wear one. The aran sweater is knitted in many distinctive patterns. Some of these patterns have a traditional interpretation and these are often of a religious significance.

For instance:

There is the honeycomb design which is represented as a symbol of the hard working bee.
The cable, an integral part of the fisherman's daily life, is said to be a wish for safety and good luck when fishing.
The basket stitch represents the design fisherman's basket, a desire for a full catch.
Plaited or braided stitches represent the interweaving of life paths.
Diamonds represent the contours of the fishing net, and wealth and success.
The Moss stitch represents abundance and growth. It is often used within the diamonds pattern.

It is open to debate as to how accurate these meaning are. They are probably just myths about Aran knitwear and possibly have no historical significance but, either way how many other knitwear garments in the world have such interesting interpretations?
