First it was the Irish Times. Then it was RTE. Now I’ve been interviewed on an American Blog!
I’m going up in the world.
I did an interview this morning for Sue Doe-Nim. She asked me intelligent questions. I gave silly answers. A bit like George W [only I'm sane] [nearly].
It was fun doing it because I didn’t have to think of a subject. She did all of that.
In fact, it was just fun.
What next, I wonder? An interview with The Dandy? National Enquirer ["Elvis is Alive and Living in Grandad's Head"]?
I might even get an interview in our local parish magazine?
On second thoughts, that last one is out. Not after what I did to the local priest yesterday…..

There are times when I contemplate packing it all in.
I am sick of the miserable weather and the high prices.
I yearn for winters that are winters, and summers that are summers. I want to hear the crickets sing in the long grass of an evening as the sun goes down after a scorching day.
I found this advertised on the Interweb..

It needs a bit of work. It looks a bit damp and worn out with a few bits missing. Actually, it reminds me of myself. It is also in a part of France that is absolutely beautiful.

And has a reasonably warm summer

I could sell the house here, spend a couple of hundred thousand doing the place up, and still have a million or so to spare.
And the price of my dream house?
Dammit – you couldn’t buy a dog kennel here for that.
