We walked to Ranelagh this morning in order to give the dog exercise and in order for us to pick up some groceries for the week.
The clocks went forward last night so although we were out walking at 10am it technically was 9am - so perhaps this meant that the village was sleepier than usual Sunday mornings.
There were very few people out on the streets with no traffic.
I went to Supervalu where it seemed like the shop was ticking over with people shopping but with no queue outside. Ciaran went to Lidl where he found very few people to be in the shop. Both shops had fully stocked shelves with plenty of food. It looks like there is no need to stock up or panic buy - however it is probably wise to buy enough food for a week or two so as to cut down on the amount of visits you have to make to the shops which should cut down the risk of exposure to the virus.
After doing a separate shop we both met up outside Lidl and walked home promptly.
It was a grey morning (but seems to be brightening up a little now) and the temperature felt noticeably cooler than yesterday which was really bright and sunny.
Here's some pics I took of the streets around Appian Way and Ranelagh - for some of them I stood in the middle of the road which would be unthinkable on other days.
Hope you are doing well during this self isolating period. Stay safe and stay home!
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!
