(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 The Gallery restaurant at the church on the corner of Jervis and Mary St
A long journey in store, if the indicator display is to be believed
