a Day in Dublin.

Well what a day I had yesterday my daughter Alexis went to look at University College Dublin. We left a 5.30 am and arrived home last night at 12.30 am. (what a day. Anyway her and her friend went off to check out the university and \I went shopping First stop Clerys (A large department store on O'Connell St. in the city centre where I got the offer of a free makeover so having time on my hands I decided to go for it and sat there while the makeup artist did my face I was very pleased with the result she used Smash Box Make-up which I had seen advertised on QVC but had never tried I ended up buying a beautiful pink shade of lipstick and a eyelinner pen for Alexis. Then Just as I was about to leave Clery,s who should come along O,Connell Street but santy himself and his Elfs. Off I went then on my mery way to Easons My favourite book store where I browsed around for ages Bourght a few crochet magazines, 2 quilting mags and 2 Books by Colm Keane on the afterlife. Then onto clarks shoe shop to lok for a pair of brown boots (I had got a pair of Black riding boots from England during the week and decided to get a pair of brown boots for the winter < I justify this expense because the last time I bought new boots was 8 yrs ago I will not say how much they were but i will need to have them for 8 yrs to justify the price.

Anyway once we drop him off Hubby Joe and I usually head to Derry shopping Derry is in N.Ireland and it is our nearest big shopping area it is 25 miles away. Once weve had a look around the shops and done some sainsburys shopping we usually head back over the border again to Buncrana which is about 18 miles from our house. When there we usually have liunch in the Lake of Shawdows hotel to treat ourselves. The food is really good. Anyway I have my s/h dinning table and chairs in the dinning room now and you know what they look great. So now \I cant wait for Xmas to get everyone round the table.
