Day 76 - Unbelievable weather!

Right, so I’ve a big pile of corrections that I need to get done before next week, but the weather is amazing, so I’ve decided that they can wait! You just never know what the rest of the Summer’s going to be like, so you may as well make the most of it while you can!

I spent much of the day outside, reading, listening to podcasts and tending to the garden. At 6pm, I met Marie again for a session in Tramore Valley Park. It was a gorgeous evening and she was happy to follow whatever plan I had, so we did a hill session. She told me that she’s planning on heading to Cavan to see her family this weekend. We’re currently not supposed to travel further than 5km from home, but Marie said that she’s still having very disrupted sleep and misses home, so she’s just going to go for it. And, to be honest, I couldn’t argue with that. It’ll be interesting to hear how her journey goes and whether she encounters many Garda checkpoints.

After our session, I stopped in Wilton Tesco to pick up some BBQ stuff for tomorrow. It still gets me every time, how completely and utterly everything about our lives has changed so quickly in recent months. We now take it as normal that there’s all these signs, like the one below in the shops, instructing us to use one way systems and not to come closer than 2m from each other.

At 8pm, Fiona was quizmaster at the Sheehan quiz, which was brilliant. I particularly liked her round where you had to guess what TV show the music came from. She kind of used it as a way of making television show recommendations to us all! As usual, me, Mum, Anna, Fiona and Mia stayed on a little bit after everyone else to chat, and Suzanne popped in briefly from Australia where it was 7am. She had a lie on this morning so didn’t make it to the quiz an hour earlier like she usually does!Baca lagi
