With the complicated election system here in Ireland, the results aren't yet clear, but it looks as if Bertie Ahern will still be in charge, though who he'll share power with isn't so clear. But I'm enjoying digesting the results.

While I was doing so the rain set in, or rather the drizzle did, so I rushed to get the washing in. I managed to get a bit of digging done in the garden as well, before watching the end of the Bristol Rovers/Shrewsbury game, and seeing an interesting goal.

Meanwhile a challenge looms. Our neighbour came home from some sea fishing yesterday with some juicy mackerel. And guess who'll be cooking them this evening (or trying to)?
