I had a lovely weekend. Until I got a tummy bug on Sunday and spent the next 24 hours in bed. I watched three films and numerous terrible programmes. I watched 'The Switch', '50/50', and I googled oscar nominees from this year and watched 'Beginners' which I thought was very good. The day before my tummy hell, myself and Michael went to the farmers market in The Red Stables in St Anne's Park. We have been there a million times but since I work at the weekends now, I never get to go to it anymore. But I had a free Saturday for the first time in ages and off we went. Mostly I just wanted to get some of the lovely flowers which are all grown in Dublin apparently and are around €3 a bunch. I think it starts at 11 and we got there at 12 and due to the glorious sunshine, nearly all of the flowers were gone. I was sad but they flower lady looked delighted with herself. I found a bunch or two and we got some dips and delicious breads from the stalls and had a little picnic with some friends on the grass.
We went for a walk around the park and came across this cool swing which was terrifying because I had visions of myself flying across the forest after the swing snapping mid swing. This didn't happen but I live in fear since the horrible summer when I broke both of my arms on two different swingsets, in two different neighbours houses, four weeks apart. Myself and swings now have a love hate relationship.
Then we went to my uncle Steve's 40th birthday party. There was tonnes of amazing food (round of applause for Liz), and cakes, and a karaoke machine which was hilarious, especially watching my little cousin Sam hogging the mic. Happy birthday uncle Steve. You're the best!
I also got a sweet little present from Michael's sister. (Thanks Claire!) It's so cute. It is a tiny jug ring. Definitely a treat and a treasure.
I hope you had a nice weekend too. Also if you aren't a member yet, please become one. I'd love to see who is reading my riveting words. And I have been on 33 members for ages and it's driving me mad!
