On Thursday, Carol and I celebrated our 15th anniversary by eating out at the restaurant in Dun Laoghaire known as 40 foot. You can see the menu here (Word format). I had the monkfish and we shared a bottle of 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape
On Saturday, we took Sierra to a live taping of the Irish fashion show RTE Off the Rails - I don’t know what episode it will be, but other than the charity fashion show Dell put on in October, this was only the second show we’ve been to. And this show was surprisingly sedate by comparison, despite the fact the “fashion” shown was much more fashionable. On the way back, we stopped for scones and hot chocolate at Harry's café. Harry’s is a nice place around the corner from our house. Sierra passes it every day on the way to school. They recently made the Zagat’s list – one of only 3 cafes in Ireland to actually make the list.
Sunday we went, as usual, to the produce market at People’s Park, then walked along the harbour with Sierra’s friends, twins Eva and Susan.
Finally, we went to see the Harry Potter film, disappointing in most respects except the length. I’m really starting to appreciate the alternative writer Michael Gerber ...
Well, I had held off publishing this because I wanted to be able to post a picture of the Christmas lights along George's Street in Dun Laoghaire. Maybe I'll get one tonight.
