Life on the Avenue

This blog was originally started to track our progress as we regenerated a derelict Victorian house in Dublin. We turned an old crumbling ruin in to our dream house! If you wish to read through the trials and tribulations of the house build it is best to start at the oldest blog post and read in date order. The blog then evolved in to being all about my life in Dublin, Ireland and then life in Malaga, Spain with artist "PIGSY" and now back in Dublin I hope you enjoy reading it!

Driving to work - checking Dublin out!

Traffic was bad as I drove to work this morning. Traffic came to a standstill on the Samuel Beckett Bridge and I had a great view of the liffey river.

To my left I could see Dublin's tallest building Liberty Hall (all 195ft of it!)

And to the right is the fairly new National Conference Centre

Here's the view of the Conference Centre at the side as I passed it.

As work commutes go, it is not the worst. It takes me about an hour and I like to listen to catch up on all the news listening to Newstalk. Today as I drove in I heard of the passing of former Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Albert Reynolds.

Radio is where I tend to get most of the news. I glance at the newspaper in work and log in to news websites during the day. How do you get your news?
