La La Land - one of the best films ever!
Wow wow wow!
What a film!
From the very start I knew I was going to enjoy La La Land. The opening scene was upbeat and uplifting and from there it just got better and better.
Emma Stone is a joy to watch and Ryan Gosling is broodingly engaging.
The songs, the costumes, the scenery - it's all so achingly gorgeous. And then the story on top is real and romantic and makes you want for a particular ending......but I'll say no more otherwise I'll give away the story.
What I will say is, do go and see this film!!
Having seen Jackie (disappointing) and Manchester by the Sea (a tough watch) I thought that La La Land would be the perfect antidote to both these films and I certainly wasn't wrong.
It was a lovely early morning trip to the cinema with my twin sister. It got us up and out on a Sunday morning with the only disappointing thing being that we came out of the theatre to a very rainy Dublin and had to cycle home in the cold rain. But that was ok - we only had to cycle to the other side of the city to Amy's place and then a little further to my house!

Sister Saturday!
After both working all day (Amy in college, me in work), Amy called over to my house for a chat and some nibblies with a cocktail. We had company for about an hour as a few of Ciaran's friends called in to see him on their way to the annual squash dinner.
I was looking forward to seeing Amy as she had got her hair done on Friday and I wanted to see it.
Looks great!
After listening to some records from a selection that Amy brought with her we then decided to get in to the hot tub. It was so good - the temperature was down about 0 degrees - just perfect to chill out in the warm water. We hung out and chatted there till about 10.30pm.
A fun night all in!

New Art - Deep Love!
I'm in love.....Deep Love......with our new art piece that has pride of place in our dining room!
It's by Artist ADW who was part of the "All Art is Theft" group exhibition with Pigsy in The Kemp Gallery, as well as having a solo exhibition "Born to Create" in The Kemp Gallery before Christmas.
To me it's very aquatic themed and a large version of this image was actually stencilled on to the hull of a massive rusting boat
Let me know what you think of this artwork - I'd love to hear from you :-)

Throwback Thursday!
Check out this photo of us!
It is a photograph of a lovely sunny day in Dublin possibly in July 2004. We were enjoying drinks in the sun before we went to a Simon & Garfunkel concert. Fun times!

Tenerife for Christmas
On Christmas Eve we flew to Tenerife (South Airport) for some R&R over the Christmas break.
We had a lovely chilled out week - we got out walking every morning before breakfast and caught up on our reading. I brought 4 library books with me which I read within the first 3 days. I then bought two books from a local shop and also downloaded 3 ebooks from the library. That's how much reading I caught up on!!
We stayed on a B&B basis in the Vincci Hotel. The location is great and upgraded to a sea view balcony. The hotel is very close to the coast and every night we were lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves. Bliss!
This hotel is right on the San Blas square which has lots of restaurants and a pubs. We preferred to walk across the cliffs to the fishing village of Los Abrigos for dinner.
All in all we had a quiet Christmas week in Tenerife and returned to Ireland rejuvenated for the year ahead!
