Today I tried to tell a story from history, and wound up spending the whole time setting up the start of it. Hopefully tomorrow I can get it finished.

Today was planning out the next two Odd Side of Donegal installments. One is about four men who wrote a book, and the other is about a woman who helped her son. Looking forward to writing them quite a bit.

New Odd Side of Donegal article, this time about Lough Foyle, The Lake That Lies Between. Monsters, sunken wrecks, ancient history and modern drama, it’s all here.

Today I wrote the next Odd Side of Donegal article, about a lake where fake monsters on the surface glide over the corpses of real monsters on the lake bed below. Pictures, polish and up it goes tomorrow.

Started my research with a Youtube clip of dubious cryptozoological significance, and finished it with an event in prehistoric Ireland where a lake fell on an elf. The next Odd Side of Donegal is planned out, and it’s going to be a strange one.

Today is a fifth article for the Odd Side of Donegal section. It’s about the patron saint of Donegal, and the tales of his exploits, and is called The Warrior Saint and the Battle of the Book.

Wrote the second half of the Columcille article today. It includes the reason why all Irishmen get to go to heaven, and should be up tomorrow.

Today I wrote the first half of the next Odd Donegal entry. It’s actually pretty heavy going, not least because I’m relying on a poorly OCRed copy of an overly belaboured translation of a 16th century Irish book as my primary secondary source. (Don’t ask.) Hopefully I can get it finished tomorrow and get it up for Thursday.

Today is the fourth article about The Odd Side of Donegal. This time I talk about the whisky wars of Inishowen, and the short-lived reign of The Poitin Republic of Urris.

Today I wrote up the Inishowen Whisky Wars and the Poitin Republic of Urris. Look for it in polished form tomorrow!

I also resized the images in some of the Odd Side of Donegal articles and switched the theme for the site. Hopefully it’s a bit easier to navigate now.
