Another Quiet Day

Sunday

Sun, clouds, rain; repeat indefinitely. That was today’s weather. We, of course, can’t complain about a spot of rain after our three weeks of Irish sunshine.

Pretty boring day as we wind down. We had lunch at the Fish Box and we enjoyed a pint at Curran’s. And we met our friend Susan for a drink at O’Flaherty’s. No music at O’Flaherty’s on Sunday night, so we had a quiet chat and said our goodbyes to Susan.

Flowers

There was no vase in the house when we arrived way back when, so we bought one and bought flowers at SuperValu to fill it.. You saw the flowers on the table in some of the dinner shots. Some of those three-week-old flowers still fill a wine bottle in the fireplace. And we new flowers on the table. Lilies?

Lunch

There was a waiting list at the Fish Box for lunch, so we hung around at St. Mary’s across the street. From the steps of St. Mary’s you can see the Fish Box, the Blue Zone pizza place (we’ve never tried it but it is rumored to be pretty good), and, of course, Dick Mack’s (which looks blurry in the photo – bad photography). Does hanging around St. Mary’s count as going to church on Sunday? At the Fish Box we both had their signature fish box – fish and shrimp and calamari and chips. It, of course, also served as dinner for today. So much food!

That’s an old menu. The prices have gone up. What hasn’t?
