[psneeze: @eolai You're starting early on the #paintingtour. Early worms and such I presume.]
@psneeze Well, planning to. Where planning is another word for hoping. Still have to pack though.

AudioBoo thinks I’m a Mystery User. ‘Time to start. Goodbye studio’ #paintingtour http://bit.ly/eolaiboo1
7/1/11 06:09:20 AM
Beautiful 1st few miles, on an overloaded bike. So ejecting some clothes now including the jumper. It’s like shaving the beard #paintingtour
7/1/11 10:45:00 AM
Painting, as it happens. Somewhere in the hills, 25km after leaving the studio http://picplz.com/BCLl
7/1/11 13:43:36 PM
This wasn’t supposed to happen, ,especially http://t.co/kGC7eER
7/1/11 8:59:38 PM
Well that was rather an eventful day. Mountains & hills gave me v limited phone coverage so apologies for my limited contact #paintingtour
7/2/11 00:15:24 AM
Before that blowout ripped a 30cm hole in my front tube yesterday, I painted a commissiion and handed it over. Will post photo #paintingtour
7/2/11 02:43:17 AM
[thirstygargoyle: @eolai Is that you fixing a puncture, or the most bizarre tube eruption? Also, it's a bit dark. You far from destination?]
@thirstygargoyle It was a tube eruption. At speed too. I did v well not to go flying, which my original unposted tweet also said. #techfail
7/2/11 04:23:50 AM
@wrathofkang @RuthePhoenix @SimonPRepublic @Niamheyb @BarkusMaximus Thanks. Was Kildare. Incomplete tweet. Twitter failing so SOS was by txt
7/2/11 04:38:19 AM
[MarketaDee: Special #FF to @eolai. Follow him to enjoy and support his #paintingtour. He's just had a puncture, hope he'll be able to repair it.]
@MarketaDee Thanks. And not so much a puncture as an explosion. Tube is shredded so time to buy a new one 
7/2/11 05:42:08 AM
[RuthePhoenix: @eolai Argh! That's a pain! 
Where you at? You ok? x]
@RuthePhoenix Thanks. In the original tweet which never posted (one of many yesterday) I had also stressed I was unhurt – albeit luckily
7/2/11 04:44:49 AM
[MazzyK (Maria Kenny): @eolai Oh shit! Are you ok? I guess you have your repair stuff with you but that is such a pain ]
@MazzyK Sorry missed you, struggled to get on twitter. Way beyond repair Blowout. That’s a 12-inch hole. Going downhill. Managed not to fall

Day 2 Kildare
[jonathangrimes @eolai looks nasty - glad you were ok. Looked like a perfect day for cycling yesterday.]
@jonathangrimes I was all over the road. Amazed I didn’t come off, but yes it was a perfect day for cycling. Couldn’t have asked for nicer.
7/2/11 06:50:36 AM
[ciaranpjd (Ciaran Downey) @eolai Jesus, 30cm - what happened? Did you run over a fallen cactus? BTW any cyclists going to part-travel with you at any stage? #propp]
@ciaranpjd Made a help of a bang as it popped. Oh, and see FAQ 14 on http://paintingtour.com
7/2/11 12:02:01 PM

Day 3 Kildare – Wicklow
Struggling with technology to show you a painting, I’m pausing to struggle in the mountains on the bicycle. May be off grid #paintingtour
7/3/11 9:34:38 AM
The Wicklow Gap, and a bicycle called Long Grass. #paintingtour http://picplz.com/Bj3p
7/3/11 11:59:05 AM
Turning on Latitude to, I’m hoping, dispel the notion I’m in Drogheda, #annamoe #paintingtour
7/3/11 13:15:54 PM
Wicklow Towned. And now to paint. #paintingtour http://picplz.com/Bb4w
7/3/11 15:13:33 PM
[jkeyes (John Keyes) @eolai Hot day for the hills. Good spin?]
@jkeyes Actually there was a lovely breeze into the face, nice and cooling so not too hot at all. Outrageously gorgeous day #paintingtour
7/3/11 17:43:01 PM
Lovely down there RT @tnteacherTim Here is @eolai on Wicklow’s North Pier : http://t.co/yBtvCKO #paintingtour
7/3/11 17:47:51 PM
[robcrilly (Rob Crilly): @eolai oooh oooh oooh. What are you painting? I'll buy anything you do of Clogherhead, or anything "scenic" of Drogheda]
@robcrilly Eventually but it’ll be near end of August as am actually in Wicklow Town now – but Google Latitude keeps saying I’m in Drogheda
7/3/11 17:53:16 PM
[amidst online debate regarding Clare Tully photos]
There’s a hole in the backside of my cycling shorts. Not sure today is the day to twitpic
7/3/11 22:09:04 PM
[yarrumk (Keith Murray): @eolai so it was you I saw outside Laragh then today, beautiful, f a little punishing, day for a cycle over the gap]
@yarrumk Yep, if it was an overloaded bike topped with a plastic tub of canvases! No complaints on the weather. Some gorgeous moments.
7/3/11 22:24:21 PM
I did an audio recording while on the bike today, but try as I might AudioBoo would not upload it. #paintingtour
7/3/11 22:33:09 PM
[sashaw: @eolai how is the tour going?]
@sashaw Eventful, thanks. Very full, and I’m enjoying myself too much.
7/3/11 23:20:56PM
[ciaranpjd (Ciaran Downey): @eolai On behalf of a grateful nation... Fix that boo yoke. There should be an animated gif of you to accompany it. #paintingtour]
@ciaranpjd I’ll keep working on it. Coverage in mountains these 1st few days hasn’t helped. Probably better for you, forcing me to practice.
7/3/11 21:35:35
Looking out at a view in darkness and putting it back in colour in my head. Drinking too.

[doogarry (Máiréad Quinn): @eolai where to next?]
@doogarry Shillelagh direction. Pondering safety of routes at the moment given the limitations of my large rig and legs.
07/04/2011 02:15:36 AM
[ElaineEdwards: @eolai Re audioboo: is is under 5 minutes? Also, I found 3G very unreliable for uploading to it. Lost a Garret FitzGerald interview.]
@ElaineEdwards Fairly sure I was under the 5 all right. Have only managed to get 1 out of 4 recordings up so far, but I’ll persevere
07/04/2011 02:34:22 AM
Talking. A lot. Technically still having a wonderful meal. I’m in wonderful company in a wonderful cottage, in a wonderful corner of Wicklow

About to paint, on a hill in Wicklow, before heading into County Carlow. And before the rain. I’ll just finish this tea first. #paintingtour

07/05/2011 06:25:19 AM
For what it’s worth, I am blogging, painting, sketching, recording, etc. Just not managing to publish v much. Will though. #paintingtour

07/06/2011 02:22:11 PM
There are people I owe responses to for days now at this stage, and I will get there, but I’m going to have a shower right now #paintingtour

@linglang I kept forgetting about them. My knees are grand though – once I don’t bend them. #paintingtour

@eske I saw one link in an invite from you but they said I can’t fully look until I get an invite
07/07/2011 03:57:00 PM

@Fearganainim Beautiful all around there. Really enjoyed it.
07/07/2011 04:00:53 PM
[vinylart (Daniel Edlen): @eolai beautiful. I love what you're doing!]
@vinylart Thank you. It’s a fun idea all right, but only possible with the help of so many people.

@adrianshanahan I wouldn’t have been a million miles away. When I saw your tweet I was about 20km away.
07/07/2011 04:33:28 PM
[adrianshanahan: @eolai How is your tour going, what direction are you headed now?]
@adrianshanahan It’s going great, thanks, though I’m struggling with time, and knees. Carlow 2nd time now, N Wexford next #paintingour
07/07/2011 04:43:59 PM
[elaineedards: @eolai How's the trip and how are the knees holding up? You getting a good welcome?]
@ElaineEdwards People’ve been brilliant. If I can avoid steep hills the knees should last. Might have to keep mileage down, or paint quicker
07/07/2011 07:51:26 PM
Tomorrow is an official rest day. There will be minimal cycling but painting and time to get the blog, the photos, etc sorted #paintingtour
07/07/2011 07:58:31 PM
[garethoconnor: @eolai highlight so far? #paintingtour]
@garethoconnor Tough one. Genuine highs every single day so far. Sensual overload. Blog posts should start appearing tomorrow #paintingtour

[elaineedwards: @eolai Paint quicker. You're set for hosts everywhere you need them? Don't forget the likes/dislikes list. I have tea and wine on 'likes'.]
@ElaineEdwards God no, I’m not even looking for hosts in some areas until I’m near there. Should manage the likes/dislikes tomorrow

@MaireSligo There are maps with rough dates (pre-start estimates) on the Route page of http://PaintingTour.com but I’ll be adding new info.
07/08/2011 07:04:06 AM
[MaireSligo (Máire Garvey): @eolai Ok. So I'll expect you at the end of the month. Or early in August. Or later in August, even. Or maybe September, even.... ]
@MaireSligo Ha. Original estimates for Sligo were around 10 days into August, but tomorrow all going well I arrive in N Wexford 3 days late

@MaireSligo Bike helmet takes over hat duties for cycling time (note helmet hair) but is allowed off for v shorts stop pages. Longer = hat.

@linglang I’m just a bit concerned taking them for that kind of pain – as I’m thinking if my knees hurt they should, like it’s a warning.

07/11/2011 03:45:42 PM
[ElaineEdwards (Elaine Edwards): @eolai I don’t know Wexford but there’s a hostel called Kirwan House from €21-€27 http://tinyurl.com/6jnn7rx]
@ElaineEdwards That looks really good, but with the possibility of me painting at 3am I’d really need a room to myself
07/11/2011 03:28:26 PM
[visitwexford (Visit Wexford): @eolai Hi! What did you have in mind, B&B, hostel, hotel, camping? maybe we can recommend you somewhere.]
@visitwexford Probably a B&B, somewhere I can use all my stuff in middle of the night (I paint). Was thinking of crossing back over river?
07/11/2011 03:32:06 PM
[ElaineEdwards (Elaine Edwards): @eolai Did you get sorted yet?]
@ElaineEdwards No, not sorted yet. Got distracted by a place where I could get a large pot of tea.
07/11/2011 04:15:23 PM
“We’ve just 1 room left and it’s very small” “There’s only 1 of me and I’m very small” I said, drawing her gaze away from my belly

Given time constraints, I’m thinking of painting in 2 locations today – though probably not at the same time. #paintingtour

[ElaineEdwards (Elaine Edwards): @eolai Hurray! I'd better check your progress on the map. Need to practice cooking]
@ElaineEdwards If I ever makes it as far as you thete’s no need to worry – by then I’ll eat your utensils. So to speak.

[NancyMelkonian (Nanc Tinta Melkonian): @eolai once whilst on a beach in Cork I happened upon a large rock of Connemara marble....have you found anything interesting on the beach?]
@NancyMelkonian I found I’m not very good at judging the tide.

[MaireSligo(Máire Garvey): @_Sians I know! Ridiculous, isn't it? It's like November out there ]
@MaireSligo That’s exactly what I said this morning.
07/17/2011 10:39:57 AM
[DiarCull (Diarmuid Culleton): @eolai Im not far away from you. Near little island. Need help? Diarmuid]
@DiarCull I’m grand thanks, in a very lovely home. Yesterday was just a bizarre piece of drama caused by a bungee hook. The weather was fun!
07/17/2011 10:56:16 AM
[SwearyLady (Lisa McInerney): @eolai Everyone's welcome at my festival of gab and yammering, you know that. Are we to expect you today?]
@SwearyLady Just thinking thru a plan for the next few nights right now after yesterdays keystone cyclist adventures. Let ya know in an hour
07/17/2011 11:00:33 AM
[MaireSligo (Maire Garvey): Not great for cycling in . You giving yourself any days off this trip?]
@MaireSligo Sorting that right now. Cork was always planned to be a big regroup stop. Resting today from cycling – but not from painting
07/17/2011 12:21:33 PM
[MazzyK (Maria Kenny): @eolai Glad to read that you're safe, warm & dry. Hope the weather picks up for you ]
@MazzyK @Darcyfication Thanks very much. In fairness most of the weather has been great for me. Yesterday’s little drama was more nuisance.
07/17/2011 12:32:42 PM
[ElaineEdwards (Elaine edwards): @eolai Hah! It might be Indian food on your lap. Forget that posh treatment you've been getting]
@ElaineEdwards My favourite food, as it happens!
07/17/2011 06:33:36 AM
[ElaineEdwards (Elaine edwards): @eolai Sorted! *dusts down Madhur Jaffrey. Her book, I mean*]
@ElaineEdwards That’s a pity. I imagine there’s a market for watching you dust down Madhur Jaffrey.
07/17/2011 01:02:26 PM
Drinking tea. Not cycling today. Need to start painting though or it’ll be just #tour instead of #paintingtour
07/17/2011 01:04:47 PM
[dabarbarian (The Barbarian): @eolai where around are you now eolai?]
@dabarbarian East of Cork city, in Carrigtwohill. Will be going slow thru Carrigaline an Clonakilty as I try to catch up on painting, & rest
07/17/2011 01:24:45 PM
[WriterCath (WriterCath): @eolai with the rain, are you painting watercolours? Haha. Kill myself laughing, but easily amused today. Glad u made it off the rocks]
@WriterCath Effectively, yes.
07/17/2011 03:33:04 PM
[WriterCath (WriterCath): @eolai actually that evolved into a real question. Oil or acrylics? Can't remember.]
@WriterCath Ah, I meant to say that too – the paints are water based so the rain plays a role all right – acrylics. #paintingtour
07/17/2011 07:26:21 PM
Not as crazily windy out there now; time to go back out and finish this painting. #paintingtour #carrigtwohill
07/17/2011 07:59:32 PM
Finished that painting before dark, for my utterly lovely Carrigtwohill hosts – of a corner of their world. Show you tomorrw #paintingtour

[MazzyK (Maria Kenny): @curlydena @johnpeavoy In hospitals if there are no elbow taps, allow the tap to run whilst you dry your hands then turn off with the paper]
@MazzyK @curlydena @johnpeavoy A side note, but the last B&B I stayed in had cone shaped taps. To turn them off had to dry hands & use towel
