I made French Toast and bacon for a snack today. I think the trick to good French Toast is to make it with thick cut fresh bread. It's real comfort food and perfect for a cold day like today.
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!

Easter Bunny Cute!
My niece wore the most adorable dress on Easter Sunday. How lovely is the detail on the smocking?!
And below us a picture of my niece a year ago at Easter!

Cor-ten Sculpture
I've written before how the extension to our house is clad in Cor-ten steel. Today at the Irish Museum of Art we saw this sculpture made from Cor-ten (weathering steel). It had developed a rusty patina just like our cladding.
Analysing Cubism
We visited IMMA today to view the "Analysing Cubism" exhibition. It was very enjoyable. I think I appreciated the work of Mary Swanzy the most.

Supper with my sister
Tonight my sister made me a supper of Clonakilty Black & White Pudding and Brown Bread.
If you are interested, here are the ingredients in the pudding.
Black: Oatmeal, Onions, Irish Beef Fat, Water, Dried Blood, Spices.
The white pudding has no dried blood in it but does have salt. Of course the other ingredient in white pudding is Irish Pork.
So delish!

Posh crisps!
What's your favourite crisp flavour?
My sister and I bought some in Marks & Spencers today - Lobster Cocktail and BBQ flavour. Oh my! What a taste sensation.
How to change a Smart Car panel
Someone crashed in to my car so I needed to change the panels over my back wheels. Originally they were red but I was only able to source black replacements - with a Smart Car you can mix the colours up a bit. It took my husband and Dad about 45 mins to do the job.
