Flower bedding
Yesterday I put down some topsoil in what constitutes our front garden. Today I planted some pansies and geraniums. Hopefully they don't die like the last flowers I planted!!
12yr old lifer
Two stories crossed my radar yesterday. The first one was the about Colt Lundy and his 12 yr old friend Paul Gingrich who were tried as adults for the murder of Colt's stepfather. In a documentary on Channel 4, the story of how the murder and ensuing trial and imprisonment occurred. All very sad......
The next news item can only be described as bizarre. Brenda Heist disappeared from Pennsylvania 11 years ago and was legally declared dead. She has now turned up in the Florida Keys and is saying that she just met with a group of drifters and left her life behind. This story is worth googling!

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.

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!
