Blackrock



Had a nice day today. I met Sioban in Blackrock (it's only a few stops towards Dublin on the train). We met her old friend Rachel and her boyfriend for lunch then went hunting through the mini flea market there. Sioban found some second hand books she'd been looking for for awhile and I got some religious medals (only .50 each) and a book about Michael Andrews the British painter. He was a contemporary of Lucien Freud, Frank Auerbach, and Francis Bacon.

After that we tried to go to the super market to get a duck for Christmas dinner but the lines were unbelievable! so we decided against it and went to a nearby pub and had our ciders and beer!---Time and money much better spent.
