Moments from our Athlone home!

DSC00262


The swans and geese in Shannon River, which is just 5 minutes walk from our home. We feed them stale bread at week ends and they flock together for it. Swans never eat, bread covered with moss, but geese eat them, like hell...that made me remeber an old saying that "swans always know the best "

    aswathy---i giggled actually and that pic was a disaster...so we looked serious to make the next pic clear...LOL
    that jacket is my hubbys purchase, in my absense. i was in India then, he didnt know my size(UK). so he went to a shop, found an irish girl of my size who was a customer, asked her that he wanted to buy his wife a jacket and she is of his wifes size, and if she could try jackets, for his wife....luckily, she agreed ....(good for him!!! LOL). she tried out all his choices and this jacket fitted her , and he bought it.....i would always laugh at this story, behind that jacket......thank god, now he know my clothes size. thanks for that unknown irish girl, of my size, ppl like that jacket!!


    sekhar---thanks...

    jyothi---thanks alot...i am an indian, living in ireland...so my place can be both india and ireland,isnt it?...now i am back in india, will go to ireland after 2 months, probably....
