"Nut"
takes a break in green, green Ireland,
Escaping bits, bytes and
Smalltalk.
For an extended weekend I'm hiding in the land of Green, Gealic and above all: Guinness
(www.guinness.com).
The only way to reach me is
through email.
I've left the mobile phone at home,
redirected to the Voice Mail.
Ireland is much warmer than expected. I should have left my raincoat at home. In the Botanical Garden of Dublin I take a nap (www.irelandseye.com/...) and wake up with a sunburned face. Get a taint in Ireland, who would have expected that?
The music is quite fast. My big body is just able to keep up with the beat. The warm weather makes the sweat pour down my head. A few minutes later, just when I'm recovering my breath, a wide bellied Irishman addresses me. He watches my sweating forehead, inspects my abundant quantity of biological insulation, looks at the bacon behind his own belly button and concludes: "You'rr just like me. We'rr built forr comforrt, not forr speed."
The sun is rising when I head for my bed at the High Pine Farm, a B&B (Bed and Breakfast) in the green fields
( My planning for the days to come is wide open, but one thing for sure: I'll take it easy. This Nut's Weekly appeared a few hours later than normal. Well, you know my excuse already: I wasn't built for speed. | ||
