WE ARE BACK - AND THIS TIME IT'S.....

Yes, we are back from Ireland. We had a smashing time, and I was very pleased to find (that as I suspected) Corinna got on swimmingly with her Wizard-in-law.

Because, as I have said before in these pages, Tony `Doc` Shiels, the one-time Wizard of the Western World, is the nearest thing to a father I still have. And seeing my surrogate `dad` for the first time in years was the most important thing to happen as far as I was concerned.

But on Thursday (late afternoon) we were at a place called `Ladies View` looking down onto the three lakes of Killarney.

On the upper lake we did see some anomalous objects, which appear to be animate. And furthermore, we did film and photograph them.

Before anyone gets excited, we have not got crystal clear footage of humps and a long neck looming out of the water. Why? Because that's not what we saw.

But we do have footage taken from halfway up the mountain of a number of "things", as Ivan T. would doubtlessly have called them, moving through the water, leaving significant wakes.

We will be releasing them over the next day or so, but truthfully, at the moment my head is like the screen of my computer when the hourglass sign comes up and it needs to compute something.
