So Kate: if they have given Dumigan's a face lift does this mean they have removed the tapless bath from the ladies loo?

It's been established that people want the pancake workshop again .... so who's still likely to be about to join in the "that's not going to fit in the oven" Sunday Roast Extravaganza ?

Hiya Jude - no, I think the bath is still there, but it's now clean!

The nice thing about cooking (and music) events next time is that there won't be a mass exodus off on the rocky road to Dublin to see Planxty. Full turn out at all times!

Sounds like we'll need 2 or 3 pancake pans on the go all through Saturday then!!!

Jude: Happy to assist again - that makes 3 in the kitchen - room for one more to spread the load????

It's the three days of lying in bed that did it.... he's bored witless and says if he's going to be lying down for three days, he might as well do it in a pub in Ireland!

By the way, as a novice at this, what does one do for accommodation there?

I will be checking on airfares tomorrow. Aer Lingus should be starting their winter specials any day and I am going to book it if it is available. Fingers crossed to make it and meet Skarpi all in one trip.

All the best,

If any of you ever venture across the fjord to St Patrick's country check out Paddy's Barn, Saul (near Downpatrick) on alternate Tuesday nights

singer's session meets @9.30 then and plenty of greengrass and bluegrass songs featured in Mudcat are sung by a good wee fire with tea & sandwiches @ midnight.

Palaver is a talk, derived from Spanish palabres.

Malarkey -- at least over here -- means nonsense, an intersecting set, I am sure.

I went to school with a boy called Mullarkey. His dad was a teacher.

I believe it has Irish roots. And so everything returns - not even 7 degrees of separation in this one!

Manitas has agreed!!! All we need now are cat and Limpit sitters.

Kate who is Fibs, on your Loughstock webpage, under Accommodation, you give [e-mail] as the email address of Barholm hostel.

On the web page of the hostel, [e-mail] is given.

Do you know which one is correct?

Just got an answer from Barholm:


I am in a bit of a dilemma - you will remember that I am in the throes of
acquiring funding to refurbish the house, I need £200,000 and I have
successfully acquired £180,000, but the deadline is that the work commences
before the end of the year. The work is going out to tender as I write this,
but by the time the tenders come back and the grantors agree it, it will
probably mean a November start, and it is estimated that it will take 12
weeks to complete (I am closing the house down during this period). I
cannot guarantee that it will be re-opened by the time that you all wish to
come over.

On the other hand if the tenders do not come in under budget the work will
not get done, and I would be able to put you up in February.

Now you see my dilemma. Do you wish to wait and see what the tenders bring
in, of is there any chance you can change the dates until March. That way
you could probably be my first guests in a brand new refurbished house.

Let know your thoughts.
