Throwback Turustday

Twusday... Twusday... 

*sigh*

At least I spelled 'I' right!

Look how rickety it was! Three seats per row!

Almost time to leave Schlierbacher Schiff!

Might miss:

The view.

Probably won't miss:

The lino.

My flatmates (maybe we'll have a conversation soon - there's still time!...)

That cursed Galleria Kaufhof bedding that's staining everything I own red!

'The Cookies': A short story

What's that I spy on the far countertop? Could it be... a plate of cookies...?! I think it is! Oh happy day!

Nearer to the cookies I go! Great, it looks like there's a fair few left! 

I'm so hungr...WAIT! ARE those cookies? I step nearer...

Oh.

 It's black pudding.

Really integrating myself into German culture here:...

A realisation and a song

For years, years, years, I've heard just one thing, one constant refrain, one issue, from my many and numerous friends.

'What issue is that?' I hear you cry in unison!

The answer.... my music. 

I have finally realised the truth in my friends' words. I need to stop hiding my light under a bushel, and really let my musical talents shine. I've really been giving my music career a lot of thought, and in view to further career progression, I've decided to post one of my favourite compositions, right here on aoifesyearabroad™.

Something that I'm very concerned about - and always have been - is, in one word, rampant jealousy. People are jealous of my percussionary (...probably a real word...) talent. It's a sad state of affairs, but that's the way it is. I vow to no longer sequester away my magnificous (...probably a real word...) musical capacities because of these individuals (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE). It's something I hope to not have to deal with here; please keep this in mind when watching the following video. I know it's a difficult thing: watching the musically-minded, fashionable individual (me) in the following video, but we all have to try.

Suggestions for lyrics to this melody are always appreciated. But respect my artistic boundaries please.

;)

Pressburger Schloss

Just thought I'd share this picture: it really captures the joy and cheer of my visit to Slovakia.
