Success!
It looked like it would be a nasty day, and then a little blue began to show through - and after a few piddly showers made their way across the sky, it opened up in full, sunny majesty. I was elated! And so productive! There are 6 rows ready for potatoes and a new row of daffodils on the ridge.
Afternoon - I walked into town and, after many thanks to Jay and Josh for their help, was able to get a Vodafone sim card and I am all set to communicate - ah, it was missing, indeed.
So, if you need me: (Ireland country code is 00+353) 087-918-5253
That was a major highlight of my day. Met Beryl and we went for coffee - she figured we would have better luck at a place called Mocha Beans. I chanced an espresso and it was not so awful. More discussion of culture, politics, etc. We have lots of good talks, Beryl and I :)
Home again and out to walk in the fields and sit in the sun. A couple of the neighbors' calves were out on the path, clearing the roadside grass, and all the farmyard creatures were feelin' good. The pony was especially inquisitive and frisky today and tried to eat my elbow while I was enjoying the view. The eager puppy was around again, and a strange neighbor cat that chased Zazu in turns. I decided to do some more weeding of the paved lot around back and fantasized about having weekly dances there, with live music and wonderful food and all sorts of revelry. I mixed it up with dancing, myself, in the setting sunlight. The moon came up early and full and glorious behind the trees which are just budding out. So the day ends very full of promise. Well... the promise that all is transient, because of course now the moon is sheltered behind the drizzling clouds again :)
