Here's Bones looking pitiful ;-) P
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!

Cup of Joe
After buying a few items for the filming today (fresh flowers, cakes to stage the table, etc.) we went to Nick's Coffee for a quick cup before we got back to the house for 10am to meet the crew.

Head of horse
As I drove home from work yesterday a horse and cart came up beside me in traffic.
It was a busy day in the city with lots of tourists and Dubliners in town celebrating Arthur's Day.

Clothes Bank
We are doing a big clean up and clear out before the TV crew comes on Saturday to film the house.
I brought 2 large sacks of clothes to the ISPCC clothes bank in Blanchardstown. Some clothes banks collect clothes to sell in their charity shops (thrift stores). However I think this clothes bank sells on the clothes to recycling companies in order to raise funds for the ISPCC (Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children).
What do you do with clothes when you are finished with them?

Busy morning....
I have an event on in work this evening so I needed to wear something nice. I put on a dress that I had laid out last night but then I couldn't find the necklace I wanted to wear with it. I tried on a few necklaces but none were quite right. I then had to drive over to work early to buy a necklace before I started work. I found this metal feather piece that will do the job.
When I get to work I need to get the room and sound system set up and check on the catering for the event. Oh and I have to write my speech. Forget about busy morning it's going to be a busy day!!

Making painting canvas
Ciaran has started work on a large art piece for in our living room. He made wooden frames that he will stretch canvas over. The large frame in the photo is 1.2 metres by 1.5 metres. The canvas material is coming by post from England.

My current fave
My current favourite drink is a "Falling Water"
The ingredients are simply
- Vodka
- 7Up
- wedge of cucumber
It has a deliciously refreshing taste!
Up on the roof
To clean the glass roof of the studio we have to climb out our attic on to the roof. It's such a great view from up there (but a little scary!).
Hard work for Ciaran - my job was to pass him things as he needed them.
It's a lovely sunny day in Ireland (Indian Summer!) and the tiles were very hot to touch.
