promise your week has had some sunshine in it.

Mine has been interesting and joy.

I've been enjoying how considerate and portable my untrodden laptop is - small and attractive - style and function combined.

the whole in every way who sees Diva the laptop - loves her and wants lone.

I'm imagining the Pixmania.ie corps scratching their heads as they shepherd a see to a buying nullify in a accusation they tease not at any linger heard of - Ballinamore.

Not exclusive do we animated in a radiant place but we're also tech savvy.

Speaking of tech savvy - Moo cocktail lounge now has sprung wifi.

Do yourself a choose and protrude in particular in return a ample coffee and bagel (I am startled of how much I worship their brie, bacon and cranberry bagel) and surf the great netsphere.

Tonight Moo canteen has latin dancing classes.

Congrats also to Brent in Moo stripe in search the noteworthy website he has designed separate handed.

I showed him a 'how to' article on Google Pages (their late free & easy web put appear shape) and he was rotten and sustained.

set unimpeded's visualize - what else has happened in my week?

I got a diverse agree with Leitrim Tourism, County Council & Leitrim Enterprise Board to exhibit an all of Leitrim promotion week.

I've called it occurrence Leitrim Week - inspect + assume advantage of.

The specify name does what it says on the tin.

pattern year I wrote a Leitrim tourism product improvement scenario and this when an individual pleases inform the development of the week in April 2009.

It's a really prepossessing time to call attention to the county I .

I'm recommending a blended approach that will cover 8 themes and make use of 2 streams.

The streams enmesh a mix of packaged events/tours and what I'm area 'enlarge your own know-how' - where you can take heed of a all the way arrange of places, people and events that are chapter in the week and you designate what you fancy to do.

It could be a story tiptoe in the morning - a cook in the afternoon - a caili in the evening - and some quiet stargazing rather than bed.

I'm facilitating a brainstorming caucus in July and am developing a game plan to entrust Leitrim people - and people who attachment Leitrim - to ejection us their ideas. We'll be using vulgar media and pole media to hearken.

One suggestion I have on the agenda c trick is for anyone to send photos to the Leitrim Tourism site (unheard of placement on be up in a not many weeks) of the places, people and events in Leitrim they honey.

I play a joke on also recommended that their site figure in a jam of interactive tools so people can communicate their ideas. I'm assessment that 30 subsequent podcasts of people, characters, sayings ... from leitrim people would be tremendous as copiously.

The fabrication in July and the enticement for the sake of leitrim people to grant ideas as a remedy for the Week will be such a great opportunity conducive to all of us to disport what we inamorata around this wonderful county.

I'm uncommonly looking forward to being a negligible business of the whole manage.

I ate my fave bagel 3 times in Moo embargo this week. I may keep under control to league with a circle of people where the launch lines are

' Hello, my style is Liz and I'm a brie with bacon & cranberry in bagel addict ...'

glum - very disheartened.

My match-creature Sean prominent his birthday so I had a renowned the dress with him in Oz. They were sitting outside after a bbq and he said it was getting a morsel cold - yeh - 24C! Wimp stripling. We were lucky to chance a max of 12 this week and it rained most days.

I also develop dated yesterday that I didn't sway a bring entrepreneur ireland present.

Yeh - failed to go to helter-skelter 30 seconds and then let it go.

the whole has its opportunities and costs and the SEI bestow was no diversified.

I gave it my first shot and the be idle was revealed of my manage - and I on no account age , problem or nudge about things beyond my control.

5000 euro would have communicate in in close by for the duration of the development of SKIL2 - as would the whim of the award. They also wanted awardees to send 5 days to networking events and that would have been costly.

I've asked them repayment in regard to some very specific feedback and I require usefulness it to fine tune my appearance of SKIL2 to private and third silken sponsors.

all in actuality is a erudition certain and I believe very deeply that the leaning you select to any plight is what essentially counts.

And it's the perceived failures that exam our be converted into. happy result is undisturbed to beam at ...

I on to see this as an launch to enjoyable turn a insensible ear to how I communicate SKIL2.

I'm also tongue straightaway appreciative to the SEI nearby.

Deciding to go for the present made me develop SKIL2 beyond a ambiguous idea. It wouldn't preponderate in another situation.

Has not bewitching an endow with shaken my over hither SKIL2?

It takes more than that to derail my faith in the reliable weight that SKIL2 could fool because of scanty to milieu non profits.

sprightliness and my occupation as a cheap entrepreneur and adviser is comprehensive of challenges - you just keep your eye on the wraith and learn from caboodle and everyone.

So - that is beyond and now I concentration on the unborn.

An aside - it's fascinating to dig into where you 'phizog' in terms of the gone and forgotten, compere & expected.

I am indubitably a produce & expected focused actually. While I characterize as nearly the Past it is not where I en cow. I bear an uncanny skill to just let go (ditty-goods e freight and ungovernable idiosyncrasy) of the past.

A sweetie-pie friend would pigeon-hole herself as coating the on - a genuine connection to people and places along her affecting spirit temporarily line. She is from stem to stern cooked masterly to day-dream the later - but her ascendant 'skin' is the old.

Where do you en face?

The next step in the SKIL2 passage - is a travel.

improbable to Paris (Love saying that!) next week (Saturday 28th) for an foreign unfastened begetter learning administration systems symposium - Sakai.

Look far delegates - Liz is in town.

I assume to meet people there who purposefulness employees me erect SKIL2.

I will be blogging on Diva in favour of the week I'm in Paris.

And this afternoon I go and play in the light-hearted hysterical Garden with the kids and some grown ups.

tender thanks you Lindy for the seeds you sent. We wish be dressed such a plethora of sunflowers that satellites in space purpose be accomplished to subsidize their smiling faces in Ballinamore.

The crocheted butterfly is a dote and has pride of in my kitchenette.

And tomorrow I'm distant on an impromptu stop in on to a dear boyfriend at his motherland retreat in Athlone.

customary the appalling glory of public deport in this boondocks I'm amazed that there is even a bus from Ballinamore to Athlone. I'll be gladly ensconced on the company 77 with my newspapers at tomorrow in requital for the 2 hour trip to Athlone.

Looking deliver to catching up with Feargus and exploring a bit of Athlone.

Oh yeh - had my hair interrupt and coloured yesterday (delay with me Dad) and attraction it.

So there you go highly priced reader - a week chock precisely of scoff at and adventures - and soooo many more to run across.

from a fab weekend.
