The sky is brilliant today, so I decided to take my work to Happy Out after a long walk along the pier with the dog. I met this very bold plant on the way back home.

Sunday morning does not disappoint. The low-angled sun is softly strong, the sea is a spectacular blue, and the cafe serves coffee in mugs with the perfect thumb divot and welcomes Blossom.

Today’s workspace: Powerscourt in Dublin with tea and a scone. It’s twinkly, full of plants (dripping with real ones as well as the faux holiday greenery), and has a lovely yarn shop.

Today’s work setup: It is blustery today, so much that I keep thinking about that Winnie the Pooh story I read hundreds of times as a child. Luckily we have windows with southern exposure, an adjustable height desk, a window ledge just wide enough for sitting, and a dog for company.

Day in the life - couch-based research, bright southern exposure on a rainy day, and a tired pup after a long walk and her favorite treat.

After flying all night, and SO much paperwork, our puppy made it to Ireland!

This delightful creature is celebrating 16 years on the planet!

I ordered my café con leche “sin azúcar” this morning and the bouncy, dancing server stopped in her tracks and looked at me like I was a curiosity. She left then doubled back “not even a little bit?!?” #miami #cubancoffee

I feel like I was in Dublin for a heartbeat and now I have to hop back in plane, this time to Miami to help out my father who landed in the hospital with a cracked vertebrae.

I kinda love how my hair & glasses match the airline’s color scheme. I’ll take tiny bits of joy wherever I can find them.

Vacillating between being heartbroken for a whole world in crisis and taking comfort in small joys like this perfect ledge for sipping my warm beverage while reading an old favorite on a rainy blustery Dublin day.

This glorious child on day 5 of living in Ireland!

Rookie mistake. When you live two blocks from the sea, never leave your lunch unattended. The seagulls will find it.

Hello 51, from my sunny balcony overlooking the Irish Sea.

Here’s to never being too old for radical new adventures!

In a long tradition of mothers the night before the first day of school, here I am sewing a hem.

I just moved across the ocean and could not justify the expense of shipping a very heavy sewing machine.

Thank goodness for audiobooks.

My kid arrived in Dublin a few days ago and in the taxi from the airport declared “I’ve been in Ireland for an hour and my hair is already redder.” Welcome home, child!

Puffins are social, so to attract them to Maine's rocky islands, National Audubon's Seabird Restoration Program put out decoys to attract real birds.

This puffin is trying to fit in with his new friend by standing on one leg.

Seabird peer-pressure can be intense.

Finally! Thank you for standing up! We need more of this in Congress!

I've written a one page patch for the new D&D Players Manual where I solve the problem of people's campaigns grinding to a halt because they can't schedule a game.

PDF is the link. Print it out. Stick it in your manuals. May work for other games too. #ttrpg #dnd
