Breakfast in Donnybrook
The Heineken Cup Final is on in the Aviva today so there was loads of French people around Donnybrook this morning.
We went for a takeaway breakfast in Donnybrook Fair. They had specials because if the game so we chose the "Toulouse Sausage Baguette". It was great, really tasty!

Fun Friday
I was off work yesterday so I was able to chill out and relax. The weather was bad to start but it turned in to a really nice day.
I got the dog off to the groomers at 9am and only had to pick him up at 2pm. He got a great cut and looks so neat and tidy.
I also cycled up to Starbucks in Mespill and got a coffee and brownie. Afterwards I browsed in Superquinn for some cheese & chorizo for some nibblies before we out.
Ciaran had an office meeting in TriBeCa in the afternoon so he was home from that at about 5pm.

Sushi time!
On Thursday night we set off walking to Dillingers but after just covering 100 metres we had to turn back as walking was too painful for Ciaran on his crutches (he is also strapped in to a boot for a torn calf muscle).
We then decided to drive to go for sushi. What a great decision!
We went to Yo Sushi and it was delicious. Very low key and casual - perfect for a quick bite on a Thursday night!

Great Gatsby
Will you go see the new Gatsby movie?!
I am planning too as Baz Luhrmann is one of my favourite directors - I loved what he did with Romeo & Juliet. I studied Romeo & Juliet for my Junior Certificate. My class loved when our English teacher would let us watch the BBC film starring Michael York from the 1979's.
I sound so old when I say there were no DVDs then so we would watch it on a worn old video that had been played so much that it was fuzzy at the bottom of the screen. My twin sister and I didn't mind this as we had no television at home so getting to watch a video (even Shakespeare!) was like entertainment!!!
I am digressing but the reason we had television at home was that my mother is very anti-television for children. My parents still have no television or radio but they did get the Internet a few years ago when my younger sister just rang the phone company and arranged for it all to be hooked up. Speaking of telephones, I think I was about 10 when my parents got a house phone. It was something that we weren't encouraged to really use!!
Anyway back to Gatsby.....,
Seems like the reviews aren't great for it but I will still go see it!
