I'm at Giants causeway. It's mint..

I was there last Sunday for the first time in years - last time I was there the visitor's centre wasn't there.

I'd say half the people at the place (hundreds) were Icelandic or Japanese.

We met a lovely fella with an Irish Wolfhound that helped settle my autistic niece down - he's given me an email in case I ever want to meet him at a show if I were to want to know more about getting a pup - very decent lad.

Few Wheatears floating about - will be seeing them everywhere soon. Some Swallows and Sand Martins around Bushmills.

I saw a Raven for the first time sat outside having a pint of Guinness at the causeway hotel.
I think it was a Raven anyway. Pied wagtail too, my GF knows her birds.

Didn't realise Ravens drank Guinness.

Aye there were a few in the area so wouldn't be at all surprised if you saw one.

There's an area of the Antrim Hills I go to where I might see 40+ of the buggers on a sheep carcass.

They're so much larger than the Rooks and Hooded Crows.

Sidenote - a girlfriend who knows her Birds is a keeper so best of luck there.

Thanks for all your good wishes.
I started my third cycle of chemotherapy yesterday afternoon. Felt like crap last night, tingling in my hands, feet, and mouth and nose (sensitivity to cold) mainly. Today feel a lot better but still having the tingling as yesterday. Biggest issue seems to be tiredness which varies from day to day.
Second cycle was pretty much the same, but not as "severe" as this cycle, but a bit worse than the first cycle.
Will keep you posted on how things go, hope this isn't boring anyone!
Anyone else not sure about having things checked out, do it!!

This is anything but boring mate,if it helps 1 person as well as yourself that's a big plus.Many have fear of these procedures so your experience should be a breath of hope to others.
While it's making you feel the way it is,only keep your mind on all the positives.
Wishing you all the best in this journey.

Many say the real Joe Biden has long gone....The guy we see now certainly doesn't look like the one from a few years ago even with aging.....

A friend of mine has caps for Ireland. She was part of the generation where the women wouldn't have got them, but then they gave them out after the fact in a special ceremony a couple of years ago.

She's a good Egg. Must admit I wouldn't voluntarily sit down to watch most women's sports myself. Men are simply (at the peak level) nearly always faster/stronger and that is what people tend to tune in to see.
