Ireland day 0374. Friday 07 October 2022- Paddys Hill Coast and Film
| Today’s summary | Spent the morning cl4eanig and tidying the flat. Then we went on a walk up Paddy’s Hill and then down to the coast for a picnic lunch in bright sun but strong wind. Watched seagulls presumably feeding on an itinerant shoal of fish offshore. Poured with thundery rain as we walked back along the coast so took shelter outside the public loos(!). Weather quickly cleared leaving a magnificent rainbow out to see. Went into Dublin in the evening to see the film “Vicky” at the Irish Film Institute. About failings in Irish cervical cancer screening. Very thought provoking | ||||
| Today’s weather | Bright sun but with thundery downpours. Strong westerly wind. About 14C | ||||
