How come I've never shared this meme here?!

Lich Arklow hating on female dresses (on man) as usual.

I kindly want to remind you that this is made for joke purposes, tho I find it way too hillarious and accurate.

#OTD in 1877 – Birth of the leader of the alcohol free 1916 Rising, Canon Patrick Murphy, in Whitehill, Kilmore, Co Wexford.

Canon Patrick Murphy was born in Whitehill, Kilmore, Co Wexford. Murphy is a little known figure in Irish history, but he provided a truly fascinating oral account of the 1916 Rising in Enniscorthy in an interview in 1955. ‘Commandant Galligan arrived from Dublin with instructions from James Connolly that the Enniscorthy Battalion of the Irish Volunteers were to take over the Railway so as to…

Day 4 - Collie - 16 November 2020

Riding around the Arklow tracks this morning.

Started with a quick 7.5km on Rays track. Some fun berms and ramps to log climbs, very narrowly missed a blue tongue chilling on the track.

Back to where we started we made a very big mistake, we didn't take our lunch before riding the 220 to the dam.

220 is 7km of flowing and scenic riding, across the creek becomes an almost tropical environment and beautiful to ride through.

Stopping at the dam would have been a beautiful spot for lunch, but we are dumb.

So on empty stomachs we continued to finish another 17km, down the 220 return.

Some small sections offer a quick black diamond bypass, that I was occasionally confident enough to tackle.

And no broken body parts after the attempts, so big bonus.

Then, of course, we got lost very close to the end. Many intersecting, unmarked tracks lead us astray and soon we were doing laps in deep bush, down things that perhaps once we're roads.

Eventually we escaped and rewarded ourselves with donuts, caramel slice and strudle at the picturesque black diamond lake.

The beautiful water is very clear and a curious azure blue colour. Actually an abandoned mine, with the limestone causing the unique colour.

This day was long and tiring and more recharging was needed ready for the same again tomorrow.

IRISH SEA

My feet dives into cold Irish sea

you barely could stop me from doing it

but you jumped along

seeing me blush

Baby, I haven’t seen myself like that 

since the last time we had fun

I remember us driving miles miles away

the first time I felt good as passenger

with you behind the wheel

seeing me interested

Baby, I loved the view of the waves

if I had the choice I would stay

I fell in love with the sound

the Irish sea beats loud enough

for us to hear

we’re falling deep

Baby, it’s like a music to my ear

it’s just us, the sea - it’s all we need
