We moved in to the house on Friday night. We then spent all weekend unpacking boxes - still not done!
We then received our first house guests on Monday! Dave and Megan came over from the States for the Bruce Springsteen concert and we were just about able to offer them a bed to sleep in!
I had taken Mon-Thurs off work and boy did I need it. I had people calling to fix things and set up things all week - I had hoped that the Intenet, Phone & TV would be set up by the time I came back to work today but unfortunately it will be Monday before I am hooked up.
We had a great night on Wednesday for the Bruce concert. We went to Tribeca in Ranelagh for big burgers (sustenance) before the show and then walked to the concert venue (stopping off for a drink in Kiely's of Donnybrook on the way. We used to live all the way over the other side of the city so if we were going to a concert in this particular venue we would generally have got the bus or train over and then a taxi back home. It was brilliant to be able to walk - only about a half hour each way! Bruce Springsteen was phenomenal, he played for nearly three and a half hours. The weather had been really bad all day with bigh heavy rain downpours intermittenly but amazingly it stayed dry for the whole concert. I enjoyed all of his songs but in particular "Because the night" which he performed with his wife Patti.
Today I came back to work, Megan and Dave headed off to Paris and later on Ciaran leaves for Birmingham for the World Squash Masters. I have the house to myself all weekend and then my sister is coming to stay with me for a few nights on Monday evening. I have promised her a curry from "Diep at Home"!!!
