Been very lax about updates in the last month. We’ve just gotten back from a long/Bank Holiday weekend in Dublin. As usual we stayed with my parents. We arrived on Friday morning and mooched around town while my mum taught, which gave us a chance to stock up on shampoo and hair gel and grab a bite to eat at the Powerscourt Town house (found a  wonderful alternative to the now defunct Pravda lunch menu) and blanch at the property prices. On Saturday we dropped off a travel bug at the geocache at the Hell Fire club and  then went on to 3 Rock to clamber about and look at the views of the city down towards Bray and the Sugar Loaf, it was some what hazy but still wonderful views. Well worth the calf-popping hikes.
On Sunday we dropped in at my Aunt’s to see various relations including my cousin’s little boy, who is now 6 months old, but is about the size of a one year old and who can down a bottle of milk in one go. I am not kidding, all we heard was ’shoock, shoock’ for about 10 minutes while he drained it with out taking a break.

Alas, however, we had to come home this morning and altho the weather is nice now it was really throwing it down when we drove back from Stansted.
