Day 273 - Friday, September 30th, 2011

Our Summer Swelter for 2011 seems to be at an end, with blue skies turning grey this evening and torrents of rain pouring down on the walk from work to the bus home to the Lighthouse, for yet another relaxing Friday evening, although no doubt a highly sage move ahead of expected buoyant magnificence in the Citywest this weekend and during the week ahead.

Earlier, lunch was enjoyed in Dicey's Garden, where more and more hordes seem to hearing about their €6.25 carvery special, judging by the long but fast-moving queues at the food counter. Course of choice today was the lasagne, with lashings of vegetables, potatoes and chips. Outstanding!

Day 252 - Friday, September 9th, 2011

The Friday lunch venue this week was Sinnott's, where one avails of a 10% discount by answering "Yes" to the cash register lady's question, "Do you have a loyalty card?" No production of said loyalty card is required, which was a relief, as I didn't have one, although there were 20 of them on a table nearby. And before you rush to accuse me of outrageous and deceptive freeloading, the discount merely brings the price of Lasagne mash carrots peas and chips to €9.50, which isn't exactly giving it away, tasty as it was.

And that was the height of the day's excitement, as a rare rest-evening was self-declared, featuring nothing crazier than watching Leinster win comfortably in their Pro 12 match on the telly-box.
