October is nearly over,,,,

October has been busy!

So I've had a busy October but it sure has been a lot of fun. Perhaps this was the reason I didn't blog for close on a full month.

There has been tons happening with PIGSY art with the closing of the group exhibition that he was part of in Ranelagh Arts. Other things were the Black and White Art Movement and in other exciting news he has got a new studio.  All of the above was a lot of work and there was lots of visit to the frame shop, dropping off art, specifying frames and then collecting art and delivering it to various art spaces in Dublin. And then on top of that there was an invite for PIGSY to be part of two exhibitions in Spain in December so that means planning and organising for that too! You can catch up with all of the PIGSY art news on the PIGSY blog here. 

Then there was a big birthday to celebrate (not mine!) so we went to the Stella Cinema to celebrate and after that went for dinner. We saw the film "Don't Worry Darling" and thought the setting of the amazing Stella Theatre was perfect for this beautifully cinematographic movie.

And then the next thing we do is we go to Spain! On Sunday!

It will be a flying visit to Malaga as we are returning on Wednesday but I am looking forward to returning to the city that I spent a year in during lockdown. I expect we will be busy with lots of friends to meet up with along with visits to what were our favourite restaurants in Malaga along with hopefully a swim in the sea, or two. Look out for a blog post on my trip when I get back.

Collagen - an update

Looking back at my past blogs I see that it is now over 4 weeks since I started taking Collagen (read my collagen blog here) and I am happy to report that I am seeing results of new baby hair growth at my hairline. I've also been drinking bone broth which is collagen rich too so perhaps this is also helping. I had hoped to see other results such as less dry skin but can't say there has been an improvement here, but still I sure am happy with the hair growth.  If I notice any further improvements I will report back.

Return to Dillingers!

Dillingers Ranelagh

Do you have a favourite neighbourhood restaurant?

I do, and after a hiatus of about 18 months, I returned to Dillingers for dinner yesterday evening.

With a change of menu but still the same staff, it was great to be back!! We got a lovely warm welcome and one of the guys even pointed out that they still have Bones picture up above the Cash Register. Lol!

Pictured is steak, veal and super fun mac & cheese truffle balls- all just delicious. Like I said, it's good to be back! 

Ranelagh Arts Festival

In PIGSY news, the PIGSY short movie was screened in The Stella in The Devlin Hotel as part of the Ranelagh Arts Festival. Unfortunately, I was working yesterday so I couldn't attend but PIGSY went along to the screening and was very impressed with the high standard of all of the short films, He also enjoyed seeing the PIGSY film on the big screen in the beautiful surroundings of the boutique cinema that is The Stella at The Devlin. To read more about what PIGSY has been getting up to lately, see his blog here.
