Commentary

(Summary blog only.   Last full blog was Day 0368).

Val doing a double shift at the museum and the castle.

I walked down to Clare Hall to do some shopping and had a massive roast beef lunch in the café opposite Tesco.   Looked impressive but a bit disappointing to be frank.

Caught the no 42 back then made dinner for Val when she briefly returned to the flat between shifts.

Spanish homework in the evening (another impossibly hard audio – very depressing) and a call to family back in the UK

Today’s photos (click to enlarge)

Forest path through the demesne.   You could almost believe it was spring, but actually it’s the light gold foliage of a mild and late Autumn Valerian on the Malahide Road
Looking over to 12th century St Doulagh’s church. St Doulagh’s well, a rare example of a detached baptistry, is at the right Entrance to the church.   Looks like it should be in the middle of nowhere but actually it’s right on the main road
Temple to the consumer.   And unbelievably expensive.   Need spend longer in Lidl, I think Lunch.   Amazingly, it looks nicer than it was.
I love this tree
