Bones goes to the butcher

Here is Bones on a trip to the butcher to buy dinner. He waits patiently outside while Ciaran chooses what to buy.

He even met a friend!

Once he gets to our cul de sac he is allowed off the lead to walk free

Barge on the water

Yesterday I walked back to the train station with my sister. We walked along the canal and in through the city.

We had to walk slowly as Bones had to stop and greet people along the way. He stopped to talk to Truffles the angry Pomeranian and then he met a nice older couple who were on holiday from San Francisco.

We passed by La Peniche which is a restaurant on a barge. We ate here about 2 years ago. The food was fine considering it was made aboard a boat but I think I would have preferred to sit on top deck with a glass of wine as we went along the canal.

Chewey, gooey, yum

Best Brownie in Dublin.....well I think so!

Dublin weather

It's 9am and nice and bright. It's still quite cool though but expected to get a little warmer.

A bank holiday weekend is coming up here in Ireland. I finish up work on Friday and am not back in until Tuesday. Bliss!!

Now I need to make plans of what to get up to over the weekend!

Chilli chilli!

I made a big pot of chilli for the first time ever.

As a base I used tomato sauce (made from tinned tomatoes and tomato puree) with puréed vegetables in it. I browned mince and onions and then added the chilli mix. Finally 2 cans of kidney beans went into the pot.

I will be bringing chilli in to work with me for a tasty lunch!

Dublin City this evening

Yes, this a horse in Dublin City!! This was what was in front of me as I drove home.

This is not quite an uncommon sight in Dublin!!!

Coffee time

I got a smiley face on my coffee today! It put a smile on my face!
