ICE

Got a mobile (or a cell)? Why not fill out “in case of emergency” contact details and stick them under ICE

The idea follows research carried out by Vodafone that shows more than 75 per cent of people carry no details of who they would like telephoned following a serious accident.

I mentioned on Friday that I was heading home, and have a few pics from the camera phone while I was there so figured I may as well post them. A lot were taken at the strandhill gymkhana by the sister. Watch out for the giant owls, unfortunately I didn’t take any of the tiny horses though.

Sligo This is from the train window, it may not actually be Sligo, but it was taken after Boyle and before Ballymote. As you may be able to tell from the clouds the weather on Friday was okay, but a bit on the cloudy side. Luckily enough Sat. was quite good. So we headed to the Strandhill gymkhana (reg req’d, try Bug Me Not).

show-jumping
While the gymkhana does have show-jumping, it also has pony competitions (right) and giant owls (below), as well as craft stuff, dog shows, and lots of other stuff.

Temple Bar here I come

Was over at Human Under Construction and I noticed a link to this story. It appears that walking on cobblestones is good for you.

The path to better health and lower blood pressure may be paved with cobblestones. When people over 60 walked on smooth, rounded cobblestones for just a half-hour a day over four months, they significantly lowered their blood pressure and improved their balance, a study showed

Course I’m not over 60, and although I do walk on cobblestones every work day, usualy it is just for one minute while I cross onto the footpath. I’ll have to walk up and down a couple of times from now on. And the cars travel so slowly down that road I don’t really have to bother about getting in their way do I? The bikes may be more dangerous however.
