Moutain Bike

I went moutain biking in Ballyhoura moutain , a very moutain bike trail. I had not done moutain biking in a long long time ( first time since i moved to Ireland ), very good and off course i've fallen ( and will fall again ).

A video which shows part of the track:

Radiodead Bis Repetita

Friday Night (6th June 2008), near Dublin, in Malahide Castle park.
I went to see Radiohead in concert in Dublin, again. The atmosphere was quite different.
Probably due to the tone of the last album, or the fact that i've been travelling the country up and down over the week end.

We had a bit of rain, but a good sign appeared in the form of a double rainbow, just as Radiohead went on stage:

And we were started by a lovely evening on the east coast of Ireland

Don't know why, but Thome spoke a bit of french ( "un deux trois quatre", "merci beaucoup" ) maybe in prevision of the next concert in Paris, or more simply due to the important numbers of french people present at the concert.

And soon too soon it was finished...

Brandon Cox

June Bank Holiday Week End in Brandon.... which can be summarized in : boat - pier - pub

The Boat

The Pub:

Brilliant spot, with the pub just on the pier, wonderful sunny weather. Mike ( one of the "boulets" of 2006 posts was there for the week-end, enjoying some diving (Guinness, Spider crabs, lobster all checked ).

No diving for me, due to an hear infection, but hours of driving the boat up and down Brandon point.

We had the pleasure to see Dolphins visiting us....
I've passed my Cox test Monday, despite poor maneuver in the harbor ( I really need to practice that - a lot - to improve my boat handling ).

Down to Cork on Wednesday ( OysterHaven ) for a rescue diver examination ( passed, but need to practice CPR more)
