Stopped by the Gardai

Another sunny day today! Went for a run 'with' Lisa again at lunchtime. Legs feeling a bit heavy today.

Aileen gave Mia a recipe for ginger bread. So I went out to the shop after lunch to try and find black treacle for it. Tried Supervalu deansgrange - no luck. Drove out to Aldi in Blackrock - no luck but did find 49 cent cadburys easter eggs - yummy success! Finally tried M&S - still no luck! Baking ingredients are hard to come by these days :-(

On the way home I got stopped at a garda checkpoint. The garda was very friendly - he stood well back on the passenger side and just asked me what the purpose of my trip was & then asked where I lived. He seemed happy enough when I told him even though I was a bit beyond my neighbourhood!

We had another family quiz tonight with Mum as the host!
She had a round where we had to guess the baby pic - I got mixed up between Grandad and Paul!

Then joined a catchup Paul was having with the cheeky brew crew - it was a bit random, Molloy was telling us all about what's going on in the States in a way that made it seem like he thought America is the only place on lockdown! He was filling us in on how a the shops are shut and how crazy the situatuin is over there. I guess alot of people in America only really hear about the stuff that's happening on their doorstep!

Feeling a bit sick now after eating a whole Easter egg!Read more
