Streetlife Festival 2015

 On Sunday I'd been asked to come along and watch the boys from ZebraThought perform at the Streetlife Festival on the M95.4 stage. Michael and I decided to make a little excursion out of it, seeing as the weather was so lovely and Michael had been in Denmark and I had been inside working on my last few essays for school the whole holiday. 

The festival showcases plenty of physical activities that can be done on a leisurely level, such as skateboarding, rollerblading, speedmington and many more. Many stands offered to let you try these activities out, something Michael decided to take advantage of. 

First we had a look at the skateboarders and Michael decided it was time to whip his camera out and do a little bit of filming. Sister is kind of proud.

Dancing Days with Matching Ties and Cara

Yesterday we were called to Neötting to do another gig with the Matching Ties. So around 4pm we piled into Josie's little car and started making our way to far-far-away.

We'd prepared well for this car trip. Oh the diet of an irish dancer...

ZebraThought - 30.10.14

As I mentioned in a past post (this one, folks!), ZebraThought was due to play at the 4You Hostel in Munich last Thursday. So I grabbed my best girlie, Holly, and we headed out. 

Little did we know we were letting ourselves in on a musical out-of-body-experience.

Hello November

Clear skies and a sun shining down on you on an early November day? Not what you'd expect. But that's what happened today and it was perfect, seeing as Philip and I had a hell of a lot of garden work we had to do before the parents and Michael came back from Denmark.
So at 11 o'clock on the dot, we ventured into the garden to tackle the mutilated corpse of a fallen tree that resulted form the storm last week.

Yes, this pile. 

Zebra Thought

As per tradition (it seems) of this damned blog, here is another post that is extraordinarily delayed.

Back in June I was invited to take some shots of my friends in the band Narin (photos here). Performing the same night, was ZebraThought. 

Three quarters of the band preparing - the wee girl decided to experience the music up close

As it turned out, I ended up taking photos for them too, which was a pleasure as all four lads revealed themselves to be ridiculously photogenic.

Narin at Soundcafe, 27th June, 2014

It's been an (embarrassingly) long time, but I'm finally getting around to writing this post for my boys from Narin.

A month ago, I was invited to the Soundcafe to take photos for Narin, who were performing that evening. 

Unfortunately a couple of band members were missing, so a couple of substitutes jumped in for them - that meant that they weren't able to play their full planned programme. However, what they did perform, they performed smashingly. 

And as I'd (kind of) promised, here are the photos:

Rainy Day Walkies

Today it rained incessantly, it was a bit nippy and the sky was overclouded and grey. So naturally Michael and I went for a walk through the park and forest.

The little man decided to bring his camera (which made big sister very happy, oh yes it did)

We found some snails in the bushes along the way. He thought it was funny that one pooped on my hand and immediately claimed his to be cooler. He then asked me to keep it in my camera bag, so he could keep it as a pet.

What a cutie pie (amirite?)

He also channeled that Totoro vibe with the signature leaf on his head. Although he claimed it was to keep his head dry from the rain, I think it did more damage than good (and I still think his hood would have done a better job at keeping his head clear of the rain)

Red currant and trampolines

Last week our red currant bush suddenly burst into little clusters of red and it looked so wonderful in the sunlight, I just had to take a few shots ;)

There's something so lovely about the little red baubles against a background of greens and grasses






















It was kind of a day for being outside and Michael got onto the trampoline and we had a little photo shoot

Just look at him, how the hell can you even look so good in action shots?
