You may have noticed a lack of blog activity recently – this is purely because there is nothing much to tell. Unemployed life goes on and I think we might have had summer already as the weather has turned grey and cold.
Some highlights of the last 2 weeks:
Went out to the Porterhouse for dinner and drinks in temple bar for Lester’s birthday. On Thursday nights there is a guitarist that plays all the classics and we sang along and drank the pubs specialty beers all night. When the pub closed we headed for the Boomerang nightclub along for a boogie. Had a great night and finally found a decent Dublin nightclub. Sue mentioned gossip about this nights activities - applications can be made to alison@purpleturtle.com (include CV and cover letter)
Watched the wallabies win over the Lions in the Down Under bar on Saturday morning – 10am is really too early for a pint! All the papers the week before the final game were bagging the Aussies so I am so glad we won. On the same vein, watched Pat lose and Dublin get beaten by the thugs from Meath in the Gaelic Football. At least we won the cricket!
Went and checked out Powerscourt, a stately house and gardens just south of Dublin. We dragged our unemployed lazy arses up the hill to the gardens and spent the afternoon lazing around in the sun…very nice.
Sue has had a couple of interviews and the prospects look good. I am hoping she will get the job and I can keep me as her gimp! ;)
We will probably be heading over to Sligo the weekend after next to visit a friend of Lesters. On the itinerary is drinking, swimming, seaweed baths, powerpuff girls...stay tuned
