Literally have no time to check them out right now but will do when things are less hectic. No, don't think I was unfair re "boring bloggers". There are many excellent blogs - Irish included. But I found it depressing recently to see so many bloggers cocooned in the trivial details of their own lives, and writing, "I..I...I" day after day, during the bombing of Gaza. But there's life for you.

By clicking the labels you will find that what he's telling when not 'imprisoned in winter' is even more delightful.<BR/><BR/>Wendy,<BR/>Welcome, and thanks for the kind compliment.<BR/>Now, ‘hate’ is a word in my vocabulary that’s locked into the poison cabinet, and knowledge sometimes hard to bear, but (I think) I understand what you mean. <BR/>As for your question: No. Unfortunately, my ability not to speak Welsh is almost perfect. However, once in the past millennium visiting Strata Florida Abbey I heard some of Dafydd ap Gwilym’s verses in Welsh, spontaneously bought a brochure with some translations and, the more often I read them the more I like them. And that’s why now and then I do (want to) share my pleasure.<BR/>As for boring blog(ger)s – calling them all ‘morons’ is a bit harsh, hm? <BR/>Anyway, checking the sidebar you will find the links to bloggers whose postings are seldom boring, and some of them are ‘even’ Irish. I am slightly sure, you will find at least quite a few of them intriguing, too; and – who knows? – some of them by visiting your blog might also like what they see.<BR/><BR/>So, good luck with your poetry. May Pegasus give you good rides. :)Sean Jeatinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08978285783271305489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507673653895812509.post-6266212105870532682009-01-26T02:16:00.000+01:002009-01-26T02:16:00.000+01:00A very enjoyable read.:)A very enjoyable read.<BR/>:)Ardenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07691309037378080709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507673653895812509.post-18976571422093975852009-01-26T00:52:00.000+01:002009-01-26T00:52:00.000+01:00This is beautiful.

It was very exciting! I rarely get comments and when I do they're by friends. This blog looks great. I look at Bock's from time to time but can't find many others worth reading in Irish blogs. Seem to be a lot of morons out there recording their uneventful lives, day by day, without any humour or insight.. I'm adding you to my list.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11709021590559899727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507673653895812509.post-10570845280747108452009-01-26T00:48:00.000+01:002009-01-26T00:48:00.000+01:00I really enjoyed this and will be looking for more...I really enjoyed this and will be looking for more of this man's work.
