Got sunburnt today, didn't notice until I got in the bath and it started to sting.

I enjoyed my tour but the return journey today was a bit tedious involving three buses with a ninety minute wait and a sixty mintute wait in between with me effectively marooned in the bus depot waiting room each time as I didn't want to leave the Brompton and luggage unattended.

Boarded first bus at 6:45 in Skibbereen this morning and now only home after the short ride from my final bus stop.

Is it any wonder people use their cars rather public transport...

There's a town near us, to visit in the car takes half - three quarter's of an hour depending on traffic, on the bus it involves two buses and takes over an hour, it really makes a visit long winded.

I put some fish on, cod, coated in butter and wrapped in foil, served it up with spuds and pea's, and a very nice simple tea it was, then we watched the qualifying.

Fish-in-a-parcel is one of my fave ways of cooking fish.

Though cod isn't up there for me, I prefer something more delicate like hake or basa (white fish) or salmon. With butter, capers and tarragon.

Skibereen to Cork, Cork to Limerick, Limerick to Galway?

If it'd been a live one, you'd have probably heard the squawking

Conveniently, a roast-in-the-bag jobbie I picked up yesterday for £1.50 on YS.

Having it with rice noodles, stir fry veg and home made chinese curry sauce (the recipe bandied about here on CC a while back).

I know someone who never realised that it needed killing and cleaning before it was put in the range.

She'd only ever cooked shop bought one before. Needless to say there was a bit of a mess inside the oven and every door(external) and window had to be opened. A quick trip to the shop to get bacon followed, and fresh cabbage pulled from the field.

Oh my sainted aunt!!!



It's on par with the lady who posted a photo of the turkey she'd cooked for Christmas Dinner, saying that the bird had no breast meat. Daft bint had cooked it backbone-side up. Either she really was that stupid, or she wanted to get a very expensive turkey for free...

Never thought to get pictures. It'd be an understatement to say the chicken had a bowel movement, in a hot oven.

Took two days, and a good clean, to get rid of the mess and smell. The taste took longer.

SKibbereen to Cork, Cork to Dublin, Dublin to Letterkenny. A longer route but actually faster.

Many moons ago, I visited Skibbereen. I started my tour of that part of Ireland in Castletownsend. Stayed somewhere near Bantry and ended up in Killarney, ten days later.

Took the easy route for the ferry, Cardiff to Cork.

Castletownshend is a beautiful place, as is Glandore and Union Hall (but you may have missed them. I'm not a huge fan of Skibbereen as a town but it is surrounded by beautiful places.

You're glad you took the faster route though.

Oh.

Dear.

Not to mention the stink of singed feathers...

Pan of fresh water in the oven, everytime it was lit, once cleaned.

We sometimes buy fresh salmon from the local fish market and cook it the same way, very tasty.
