Not much to say today folks, sorry.
I had a lovely sleep last night and consequently didn't wake up until half time in the Grannie. It looked like it might be a close game, but then Brisbane put on the after burners and left Geelong in their wake.
To be honest I suppose I preferred the Lions winning, but didn't really care!
So that took most of the early morning.
Then I collected Bern and we went to the Dunnes Shopping Centre again. This time I put my GPS on and followed all its instructions and fortunately arrived unscathed! It was raining heavily all morning and it was still a bit of a challenging drive. I'm sure the car parking spaces in Ireland are smaller than those in Australia!!! Or maybe my hire car is just a bit bigger. Either way I won't miss the Irish car parks!!

We had a coffee and then did a bit of shopping and that was the morning gone.
This afternoon, Bern's nephews and niece had arranged to come down and have some afternoon tea with her. It was so lovely for them all to catch up after quite a few years...

Then tonight we have driven back to Wexford to visit Paddy in the hospital, where, thank God, he is doing reasonably well.
It was a nice easy drive down the motorway and only took about 40 minutes.
So, there's not much of a travelogue included in that report, but that was the story of my day.
But I'm still seeing the beautiful green Irish country side as I drive along, and enjoying being in Ireland.
Only a few more days now but I'm still making the most of it!

I couldn’t help myself with the football, I did have to object to some of the decisions made by the umpires. I’m only human after all. By the roar of the crowd it seemed there were more Lions fans than Cats. Well that’s it for another year now they’ll focus on the Spring Racing Carnival. Meanwhile all the shops in Melbourne have put out Christmas 🎄 decorations!! Enjoy your last precious days in Ireland ☘️☘️
ReplyDeleteMuch too early for Christmas, but that's what they do now!!!
DeleteHey shouldn’t you be barracking for Geelong, you being a Victorian?
ReplyDeleteYes the Irish countryside is right up there with Scotland.
No there are too many Victorian clubs, and I dislike most of them!!! Love the Irish countryside.. something special about it, especially on the West Coast.
DeleteNice to hear you are out and about enjoying the Irish countryside, you will miss that and the sea at Lahinch beach when you get back!
ReplyDeleteI'm missing Lahinch already...😪
