Where has the month of June gone? The weeks of summer are flying by for me. Here's a recap of what we were up to this month:
-First weekend in June was a Bank Holiday- spent some time in Louisburgh, then went on to Galway for a night to celebrate a friend's 30th birthday
-Saw the theatre version of "The Shawshank Redemption" at the Gaiety Theatre in Dublin
-In Louisburgh last weekend for a wedding reception on Saturday night and celebrated Father's Day and my birthday (a bit early) on Sunday
-Have enjoyed the nice weather- it's been around 70 degrees Fahrenheit (I know it's not as warm as it is in MN, but still warm for here!) and sunny for quite a few days this month
-Today we spent the day enjoying the sunshine in two seaside towns just north of Dublin- Howth and Malahide. We walked along the pier in Howth, had lunch, then relaxed on the sprawling lawn of Malahide castle with the newspaper.
-Have been working, and I have been trying to get to classes at the gym on a regular basis. Paul has been out on his bike every week. For my birthday I got a set of golf clubs from Paul and his parents and sister, so hopefully we'll be out on the course soon.
-We've decided to hold off on buying anything in Dublin at the moment. The economy is still so volatile and property prices are supposed to fall even more, so we're just going to sit tight for a bit. We'd rather put our resources into starting to build down in Louisburgh. Hopefully in the next couple of months we'll have the site cleared.
Here are a few photos from the month:
