Commentary
(Summary blog only. Last full blog was Day 0368).
Val had a morning off before Wonderlights in the evening.
Had a leisurely breakfast and lunch then I waited in for the engineer to come and fix the tumble dryer. Turns out it needs a new “module” so it could be a slow process.
In the evening I intended to walk through the demesne to the Swords road then out to Seabury and back along the coast path. But the back gate into the castle was locked – it apparently closes around 6pm – so I was trapped inside. So I followed the perimeter path and back out the way I came in – via the Sylvesters GAA car park. So – lesson learned but it was an enjoyable stroll anyway.
Managed to fit in some of my Spanish homework as well. But still the difficult listening exercise left to tackle.
