Saturday night is movie night

Saturday was slow.  We got up and went out for a cycle in to Dublin City (less than 2km away from our house). Ciaran rode his Brompton fold up bike while I was on my electric bike. We cycled to Fallon & Byrne on Exchequor Street where I bought some freshly made bread and some Ranch Dressing (this seems to be the only place that I have found in Dublin that sells this type of dressing!).  I also bought a 50% off Easter Egg that includes mini peanut butter eggs inside - can't wait to taste those!

We then did chores around the house (my kitchen could not be any cleaner and we are on top of all of the laundry).  Ciaran did a video lesson with his Spanish teacher at 4pm while I did an online class at the same time. It felt really productive to do that and I will do another class today.

Later on we decided that we would pick up dinner from Dillingers which would be our normal Friday or Saturday haunt (we sit in the exact same spot at the end of the bar, every time we go, yes that is how regular we are!).  We walked up to Ranelagh Village and visited Dillingers to get our order in.  They have it set up that they have the door open and then it is all blocked off to the actual restaurant. In order to comply with social distancing we stood at the door and spoke to the manager with space between us all and then gave in our order.  He told us to call back in about 10 minutes and it would be ready then.  While we were waiting for our food, we walked up the road to Redmonds Beer & Wine shop and bought some supplies there.

We walked home fairly smartly in order to keep the food warm.  Look how good it was......so tasty! Hearty American style food at home - what can beat that?!
I had Ribs while Ciaran had Hot Wings and then we had a side of Chilli Fries. 
 
And so for the movie selection......we watched.....wait for it...."Contagion"

Oh my gosh what a film. We had seen it before a couple of years ago but jeez what a different perspective watching it while we are living in a real life pandemic.  Seriously scary.......

And that was our Saturday with us heading to bed about 11.30pm - how did your Saturday go? Hope you had a good one!
