Liberty Building

The Liberty Insurance Building (formerly the Q Building) is the tallest building in Blanchardstown.

I generally dislike this building but in the sun today it looked quite good.

Bread feast!!

I stopped in to Lidl before work - their bread shop is so good.  They bake all the pastries fresh on their premises.

Then it was off to Starbucks for breakfast before work.

Cocktail time!

Cocktail time!

I got this cocktail mix in Dunnes Off Licence.  It says it contains alcohol but not what type of alcohol.  I bought the Citrus Daiquiri but there were others available.

You stick them in the freezer and then squeeze them out in to a glass - kind of like a slushy!

They are marketed as a "Squeeze & freeze" cocktail. 

Generally I make my own cocktails (Caipirosca & Cosmo) but I like the convenience of these.  They are probably full of sugar but sure I'll give them a whirl!

A sarnie by the canal

Met my sis for a walk after work because it was such a lovely day.  We then stopped and picnicked by the canal.  

We had sandwiches from subway and then cookies for afterwards.  Sooo nice!

Small pleasures!

Small pleasures in life: Sitting outside on your coffee break reading a magazine.

Ireland is experiencing a mini heat wave which is expected to last to the weekend.  I'm trying to spend as much time outdoors!

Seat pads

I bought this great flamingo fabric in Key West.  I love how tropical it is.

I decided to make seat pads for the garden furniture.  It took me less than a day to make the first one.

Photoshoot for Dean Cooper

Most of our built in furniture was supplied and fitted by Dean Cooper Furniture.

On Friday, Dean arranged for the kitchen, wardrobes & TV unit to be photographed for his new brochure and website.

The kitchen was staged beautifully!  I'm looking forward to seeing the photos in print and online.

Here are a few photos from the day.
