The sun shone gloriously today, even more so than yesterday, so what better than an early afternoon trip to nearby Fairview Park, to listen to choons, read the i newspaper and enjoy a bottle of Kopperberg Summer Fruits and a can of Carlsberg Export, whilst catching many rays? A word about the i (yes, its name really is just one lower-case letter) - it costs just 30 cents (20p in the UK) and it has made me fall in love with newspapers again, as it's unbiased, has great international coverage, excellent sport, and bagloads of puzzles, including a Cryptic Crossword that explains the solutions, so I have managed to learn how to solve quite a few clues after being largely clueless (snigger) in this regard for decades.
Evening arrives, and time to make a beeline to Dublin's only bar on the Liffey, the Cill Airne, which was packed but not uncomfortably so, to meet up with Trev for a few (which translates as eight here in Ireland) pints that went down extremely well.
Even this part of Fairview Park looks awesome on a sunny day!
