Commentary
(Summary blog only. Last full blog was Day 0368).
Val had a day off the museum and also Wonderlights so we had a leisurely morning then both went down to the gym for a swim and sauna (using one of my guest passes). An excellent way to warm up on a freezing cold day!
After lunch we headed into town to see “Living” starring Bill Nighy at the Vue Cineworld cinema at the Parnell centre. A charming film, quite short. Dropped in to the bar at the Abbey Theatre for a spontaneous (excellent) glass of Malbec afterwards before catching the train back to Malahide.
A very enjoyable day.

Even Connolly station looking a little bit festive this evening |
Mary Street looking misty but festive. Not many shoppers about – but it wasn’t a very inviting night |

In Wolf Tone square – not sure I’ve ever approached it from this angle before. Will be nice in the summer |
