Believe it or not we are having beautiful warm (25 degrees) weather here in sunny Dublin. It really has been brilliant with the city putting on its best summer face and Gwen and I have made the best of it. This weekend we were treated to a load of free wine tasters and nibbles at our local sopping centre (Europe’s biggest). I think you’ll agree the place was looking well.
We then made our way into the city centre and ended up at the Tall Ships festival at the Liffey Docklands. There were loads of stalls and even one selling beer, so we were happy as you can see. We happily just enjoyed the nice relaxed atmosphere, the sun and the music. This city really is a great place when it pulls out all the stops.
We also celebrated our two year anniversary this weekend. Yes it has been two short (or long, depends on how you look at it) years since we first went on that fateful date after my first Friday at work. Who would have thought our drinking competition, I mean date, would end up with us engaged on the other side of the world…. I think I am sobering up, quick Gwen pass the wine ;-).
We had a lovely dinner in Dun Laoghaire (good luck getting your lips around that one Kiwis, its pronounced Dun Learee) at the 40 Foot restaurant on Saturday evening and a Champagne lunch at home on Sunday just to keep it simple ;-).
A quick note to all (read anyone) in NZ and Oz that I haven’t been in touch with, apologies but just keep watching this space.
I’m still waiting on feedback from both companies that I have interviewed with, seems like the biggest wait of my life, but as we all know “good things come to those who wait”…
