Yesterday a friend was showing me an art project involving industrial robots, and from the recesses of my mind that unearthed a memory of a performance we watched almost 20 years ago. A French dancer, Philippe Priasso, from the...

Fiacre Banks @Fleura But once the evening draws to a close you can’t really take it home for a night of passion.

So today my lovely Mom made some salmon fish cakes for tea. I did a bit of mixing but obviously she had to do the chopping and shaping …. I have to be careful with fish. I managed a small piece of smoked salmon a few days ago and...

Fiacre Banks @Traceyjayne I never thought of using dill in salmon fish cakes even though I use it when roasting salmon!

My wine guy dropped off a case of 6 bottles at my house today while I was out. Six reds from Italy, Australia and Argentina - I’m so promiscuous. Once dinner was in the oven I decided to treat myself to a pre-dinner quaff, but I...

Jaffa cakes are one of my most favourite things. Lovely sponge topped with zesty orange then chocolate. The big debate is whether it’s a cake or a biscuit …. The answer is in the name …..JAFFA CAKE A cake is soft then goes...

Fiacre Banks @Traceyjayne Well you’ve got me in the notion for a Jaffa cake now. I’ve to go out later so I might just get some.

When I started courting the young lady I was subsequently to wed, I took silent, unexpressed umbrage at how I was treated. It was only a small thing but it irked me no end and I’ve never mentioned it in over 40 years - I may be a...

Fiacre Banks @fleura I, on the other hand, am such a sensitive, careful and caring soul to the alley cats, deadbeats, no-hopers and fleusies my children have fetched in from the street over the years.

I planted bulbs today. Perhaps I ought to have waited a few weeks, but I’ll be away a few times and since we are having fine, dry, autumn weather I decided to take advantage off it. As well as planting some in the garden I’ve...

Fiacre Banks @Traceyjayne Yes indeed. New to me too. In one pot you plant a layer of tulips then compost then daffodils then more compost then a layer of muscari or even irises then more compost. They come up and flower in succession. So Sarah Raven says and she should...

Fiacre Banks @Traceyjayne One of the issues is our daughter, the one with Down Syndrome. She loves both France and Greece and she’d have a great time but when we’re no longer able to look after her she’d be on her own and that wouldn’t work. And she’d not be entitled to...

Fiacre Banks @ladyduck I too am conflicted when I eat duck. We had ducks when I was a child. But magret can be so tasty when correctly prepared.

Such a sad, arrogant, destructive attitude to have, to consider one’s own country to be better than everyone else’s. I don’t have a patriotic bone in my body thankfully. I love Ireland and it’s a great place to be, but it’s no...
