    I hopped on a dublin bike and went up George's St.

    Then walked over to Merrion Sq and had lunch in the park. Sooooo nice.

    And then went on another spin on a dublin bike.

    And then sat outside the Bailey and enjoyed a few cold ones.

    Good times!

    Dublin can be heaven.

    Car boot sale in the Bernard Shaw. A bit over packed, but still fun. Got me some nice boots and a skirt too!

    Went to the Ideal Homes Show (for free, thank you boardsies) and then had a late lunch/early dinner by the river in Ballsbridge, it felt like we where in Italy! Nice walk back into town via Gand Canal Dock, good place to soak up some rays!

    Finally checked out St. Stephen's Green. Absolutely gorgeous. Almost got mauled by f'ing seagulls and pigeons.... and a swan. Otherwise just spend most of the day outside. Homework be damned.

    Cycled round the pheonix park with a friend, then strolled back into town and got food in the epicurian. Fingers crossed tomorrow's as nice!

    Your a visitor here?..

    My recommendation for tomorrow so.

    If your fit enough to cycle, hire a bike and get out and about, maybe a spin along the Grand Canal or up to The Pheonix Park .

    Or jump on The DART and head for Howth Harbour, there's a great market there tomorrow and some great little cafe's & bar's, or there's a walk along the harbour (feed the seals!) or some beautiful cliff walks.

    Enjoy the weather, we don't get this for long :(

    Yeah, I'm here for college this semester.

    Those sound great, but I gotta get the homework done tomorrow that I didn't do today. I'll definitely make it a point to make it out there before I go though. Thanks. :)

    No, sure I was at home in the garden all day!

    Think this is the first time I've had sunburn in April IIRC.
    I was pottering in the garden all day and loved it. Picked Mrs G up from work at 9 and had a few cold beers to finish out the day. Nice.

    I did, yeah. :/

    Have to say though, everyone looked so well on Grafton Street... but the stench off the Liffey...!

    painted the garden fence, the bird table, the garden bench.

    dug the soon to be veg plot. weeded the flower beds.

    planted the tomatoes and sunflowers.

    clean out the shed.


    where was the OH is hear you ask? on the sofa hungover to feck watching football:rolleyes:

    it was a lovely day, i had a great time:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 160 ✭✭Dragons Revenge


    Oh yeah. I saw a lone seal just sitting (lying? swiming?) in the river chillin' out. I never saw a seal in real life before. I always thought they were in colder areas.

    I'm such a child.

    "and the liffey as it stank like hell"

    Funnily enough, I had a good ol' sniff at the Liffey and it smelt fine. It's been a like time since it was really smelly (oh god do you remember how bad it used to be)

    IS it cleaner these days or sumpin'???

    I went for a walk around town, and spent most of the afternoon on the boardwalk, reading my book, watching the world go by. I won't say anything about the skangers or junkies, cos tbh I didn't see many :-)
