Fish wire
While back home in Sligo i went on a little two hour stroll around Rosses Point. The day was absolutely amazing, bright blue skys and nice crisp cold.
Here’s one or two from the little excursion 
Old emails
I was looking through my emails from my own email address of sandyluvstrilo@yahoo.co.uk. Some memories are to be had with that email address. Anyway i found this email which i sent while away in England… i think i was in Brighton at the time for about a week staying above a night club and singing Jeff Buckley The Last Goodbye from my window..anyway so here’s the email…
woof woof woof
this is trilo here….. you should all know me cause im sandy’s dog.. or as she still calls me her “puppy”. she is away in england at the moment and i just thought id send everyone an email.. i know its from her own address but i just havent had time to set up my own one. i want to let everyone know how much i miss her and i kinow she misses me. i can tell she is a little homesick and dying to get me into bed to cuddle up to. i really miss her and since she’s gone i havent slept inside at all. only sandy lets me sleep with her and drink out of her coke bottle or glass and even eat yogurt of her spoon. i love her. anyway im gona end this.
ps; i know this may be the only email you will ever recieve from an animal but i just had to.
big sloppery kisses and my paw slapped into ur face if you dont pet me
trilo
Trilo the wannable kitten
There we were all cosy for the night in front of the fire watching random stuff on telly and enjoying the company of Penny the cat and Trilo the dog who were panned out from the heat.
So anyway totally randomy Trilo starts playing with one of Penny’s toys, like really playing with it. It was so cute and funny i got it on video (now Trilo used to be very scared of lots of things round..like balls so this made it even stranger) Then she started to lick her leg like a cat would, all we needed to see was her brushing her licked paw along her head.
I think penny must be the best thing that has ever happened to Trilo, i really never thought she would live peacefully with a cat but she is. They are great company for one another. Like it’s so sweet coming home and find the two of them on their seats asleep in the sitting room. We just know they have been good company for each other.
You
You are my strength when I am weak
You are the treasure that I seek
You are my all in all
Seeking You as a precious jewel
Lord, to give up I’d be a fool
You are my all in all…
Thank you. When i hear the songs and the words i feel as though a big comfy duvet is surrounding me and i feel safe.

Time
A person i used to work with had this on a social site one day and i took so much from it.
“In life…do not follow the path. Go where there is no path to begin the trail…” Ashanti Proverb.
Finally now i am beginning to feel strong and feel like my whole life is ahead of me. All the negative things from the past seem to be on the way to be just the past. Time is a powerful healing tool, i know it’s a cliche but i believe in it, i want to.
So the Proverb i love it because that is exactly where life is going to go, i will start out into the unknown and begin a beautiful life and future. As Frost says, “and that has made all the difference”.
I hope and pray and forgive in time. I look forward and not back and look to a future full of smiles. It’s only a week into the New Year and while i still do have good days and bad days, i am out walking now and doing loads of positive things and it is so wonderful. Even this beautiful cold frosty weather feels like it’s made for me. I can sense the newness and brightness of the Spring time coming our way.
“Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.”
– Pope John XXIII.
Eek I don’t sound too philosophical or gay as i do say. I mean it and if it does sound sad i’m not bothered. It’s real and it is from me.
Trilo
A little stroll along Rocky Bay. Lovely day for a walk, the waves were awesome and the colours of the sea were amazing. Nothing like it. Here’s the gorgeous Trilo posing for a photo
and there’s a few more on My Flickr
Trilo and me
So the movie “Marley and me” is out in the cinema. I am really looking forward to seeing it and i must remember to bring a box load of tissues with me. I know this because the book had me in tears when i read it last year and before i even watched the trailer for the movie i started to cry. A little bit of a sap much Sandy????
Why so feicin emotional? Well anyone who knows me, knows when it comes to animals i am a gonner. Any animal covered in fleas to spick and span i am a sucker for.
So Trilo and me… i don’t know what i would do without her. Trilo and me have each other 8 years now. I got her as a puppy, she was the only female of the litter and had two black brothers. I decided to go with a girl because girls don’t lift their legs. Our song is it was playing on the radio on the drive back to my house. I remember i used to bring my duvet and sleep with her out by the back door. She wouldn’t stop crying. But then i started sneaking her into my bedroom and there she stays every night. I can’t even remember her going to the toilet in the house, she never did. She’s so good.
I got Trilo nearly a year after my dog Rex had died, it was hard at the start and i wasn’t sure if i was fully ready but it felt right. I learned that Trilo was a completely different dog to Rex and love her for everything she is.
Trilo has been through a lot over her 8 years. When she was 3 i moved her down to Cork with me and she has been with me ever since, bar about 6 months when i was living in a spot where i couldn’t have her and boy did i miss her loads.
I don’t care that when we go out for spins that i can’t go into a restaurant and eat a nice dinner, it’s more fun sitting in the car or even on a blanket outside the car as we do now. No matter how cold it is.
Trilo has been ill the last few months and is only now starting to come round. Something happended her whether a stroke or something that left her with her head cocked at a wierd angle. When she looks down the stairs her ear is touching her paws, it is really funny to be honest. And she was sleeping loads, which works out well because i sleep loads too, way too much but she’s getting much better so from the New Year on we are going to start been more active.
Trilo goes everywhere with me, she sleeps with me. I don’t know what i would have done without her in my life the past few months as she has been the best company ever, even though i have been a bad owner, she hasn’t been walked much but she didn’t seem to mind that. But now i think she is starting to improve in her health it’s time to get out again.
She’s lying right here beside me now as i write this and she feels all lovely and soft and special. And she does have her crazy times, like when she chases people for no apparent reason. She is a nervous dog and very much perhaps way to much stuck with me.
So Trilo and me…sandytrilo
Biffy Clyro more than better
The concert was brilliant. The moment we hit the doors of The Academy i just knew it was going to be a good one. The staff were as friendly and the atmosphere was so relaxed. We got to The Academy around 8.30, a little late but we were busy nearly getting ourselves kicked out of a restaurant… tee hee.
The Academy is such a really good venue, small but not too small and one could see the band no bother from the back.
So they came out and started playing and from that point to i’ll say about 3/4 way through i didn’t stop singing or dancing, the whole place was rocking and all were singing/dancing/wathcing the show.
One of the best parts was when Simon sung Machines on acoustic, woah! Now that blew me away. he has some amazing voice.
And then of course i had to go and get all weak and faintish, so me and the other wan went to the area beside the steps of upstairs to get some air. And then i said to her c’mon let’s try upstairs and so we did, the bouncer told us to get down so i shugged my shoulders and said ok and then he changed his mind and said, “ah come on up”. So we did and it was nice. Lovely comfy couches, jsut what a gal needed after a lot of dancing. The coolest thing was that at the end of the show the lead singer jumped onto the speakers and then onto the level i was at and like how cool, lol.
So now me and the Delly are gonna go visit our new friends in Ayr someday and have a cup of tea and some cake
Mon the Biffy
And so this time is upon me, something i have been looking forward to ages, Biffy Clyro are playing tomorrow night in the Academy. The excitement, myself and Edel will have some laugh. We will if i don’t end up keeling over, have a very bad flu thing at the moment, damn throat and weakness…pah!
I know it’s going to be feicin deadly, because the one night ever i heard a Biffy song in a club was in Fibbers in Dublin, not too long ago and it was deadly. So Mon the Biffy, tommorrow night can’t wait.
“I’m a fire and i’ll burn burn burn tonight
I’m a fire
I’m a fire and i’ll burn burn burn tonight
I’m a fire”.
