Suffering from some blog fatigue… I have lots of articles to post about, lots of organising to do for Dublin, lots of reading to do…does it ever end? 🙂

No posts of late, have been a bit busy – will be back posting now.

Having attended one in Toronto recently…and a couple in London last year, I have yet to attend an Irish blog bash. I have sounded out the idea with Dick O’Brien over at BSD – and he is keen as long as its on a Friday or Sunday. Friday night in Dublin suits me fine –…
