Mistaken identity - only the voice

Mistaken identity - before.mp3

The experience is different when one listen only to the voice - recorded so well thanks to Spark London - thanks! I learn also only by listening.

Spark London's video

One can now see on Spark London's youTube site the video taken by Spark from another angle, of my performance about "Mistaken identity" and Joanna titled it "the possibilities are endless" - Thanks!

Dublin center a seagull

on the top of the bus waiting

so much variety and lively city Dublin! I am happy to have come to the Toastmasters District 71 Humorous and Table Topics Conference.

Not only they were very interesting - and of course, even funny, but I learned a lot and was inspired by it.

Learned what to do mostly but also, what not to do. Mostly, of course each of us has its style and has to speak most authentic possible. Some with great emphasis or like actors, others like they would speak to you one by one.

I will tell more about the interesting workshops as I return home.

Dublin

So much to photograph and so much seen in only two hours of morning!

Yes, Dublin is a great city and I am already happy having taken two more days to see it.

My small b&b is in the center of the city, the room so tiny I barely can move and the bed are superposed, also I am of course alone in the room. But it was warm and quiet and I slept well.

At 7 I was already on the road towards the river and the Trinity College to find the Conference's Hotel - I never arrived there because I lost way in the huge College with so many interesting to see and take photo of.

But here is the begining of my stroll.

Soon

Limerick a while ago

Soon, photos of Dublin will arrive too.

Please wait, I am not sure I can send them from there, but I will not stay long. Hope enough to discover a bit about that fascinating town.

And it is in Euro zone too!

So I have to go now to see if I still have any left from my last trip this summer to Paris.

This path is near my house.

The child in us

We all have also happy memories of our childhood, and the photographer took his time with me, lots of time, to obtain this one.

Later he made me stand in another dress, and I was really fedup.

The child in us remains in us.

Need of love and protection and the hurts and sensibilities too.

Alas, we do not realise well when we do hurt someone else as we do when they hurt us.


This photo made me remember how seldom my parents were together or, together smiling, and even less with me between them. The photo also tells about how happy I was to be between them.

In the middle of worse shell bombing on the house in Budapest January or February by Russians, my parents standing very near each other put me in the middle, to make the most protection. Instead of fear, I still remember the warm feeling and happiness I felt to have them around, feeling their love towards me.

I know, we are finally alone in the world but we still need, at any age the others and their warmth and, alas, most of time, acceptance.
