beer

I bought this bottle of beer to see what it tasted like. its not often really interesting beers arrive in the local wal-mart.

I poured it into a glass, half for me and half for paul and then took a sip. I was immediatly transported to winter, Ireland, a cozy pub with soft seats, the real traditional kind of pub with carpet on the floor and fixture of old guys sipping their guinnesses and holding up the bar. I had to give it its own post! It was the stout flavour of course but then the extra depth and spiciness of the chocolate gave me the kind of memory recall you get with an old familiar smell.

oh, and Paul hated it! but then the first time he tasted guinness he said it tasted like bananas.

i am in the process of getting my etsy store back together. This time under Green Bird Dreaming. I have been doing some embroideries for it, these are smaller.

The leaves are out on the tree in front of my workroom window. Now I work in a green shaded room with those squawky black birds that always remind me of dinosuars fighting in the branches.

Its hard here to find places to sell art work. I am joining a sunday art exhibition in a Park here in Chihuahua. Like what they have on Stephens Green except a lot smaller. Hopefully fingers crossed!

I just got a comment on the previous post from two really good friends of mine, Linsey who I went to art college with and Simon her husband who owns the nicest jewellry store in the world! ( dublin, wexford street) I worked there for many a happy hour polishing silver, deciding which piece I prefered, this would change by the day and i never really made up my mind. Too many choices :)
