We got up at 6am today and for some reason I still thought it was a good idea to go to the zoo. I am consequently totally wrecked, and Young Indiana has been wrecked all day. I am, indeed, having a somewhat difficult time thinking, because my brain is so fried. So I shall make a list. It will probably not be a wholly inclusive list, but maybe it’ll help. – charge e-reader – put INFINITY KEY on e-reader – finish reading KHAN OF MARS – read INFINITY KEY –…

Kitsnaps: Reading at Hore Abbey
Hore Abbey sits at the foot of the Rock of Cashel in Tipperary. I have several pictures of the abbey that I like very much, but this is one of my favorites: a couple of teens–maybe tourists, maybe locals, who knows!–for whom sitting down amongst the ruins with a good book or two was the best way to pass a grey afternoon.

I don’t think I’ve posted this one before. This is Ladies’ View Castle, which is just up the road from yesterday’s picture, Torc Waterfalls. This is one of many places I wish could be restored! In other news, my god I am exhausted. I just sobbed my way through 2000 new words at the end of SHAMAN RISES, and I think it may be almost done now. Almost. Some more polishing to do, a bit of fixer-upper stuff here and there, and then…done. I hope. #exhausted
