and on the Harbor Cruise
BlogPostMon21Sept09
What a nice day! Did a bit of laundry and dried it in front of the gas fireplace – works very well for that as well as for cheery environment to enjoy a glass in the evening! Met Margie and Sara (her charge) at the swimming pool for a brief walk and chat together about the phone. She is still trying to get one to work for me! Anyway, nice visit together.
Then to the Post Office to buy boxes and get prices for shipping stuff to myself in 96. No matter which way I go, it is expensive – either to ship or to fly it home. So, I’ll get rid of a lot of the weight this way – books, etc – and not have to fool with it when I fly. Can’t believe it’s almost here! And finally to the hair salon for a shampoo-cut-blowdry. I look absolutely gorgeous! Love the work he did. Couldn’t understand what he said all the time, but enough to enjoy the experience. He was so attractive I got flustered and forgot and left my hearing aids on until he began the shampoo – BUT fortunately I apparently got them away from the water quickly enough. At least they still work now. That could have turned out to be a VERY expensive hair treatment!
From there by the ATM at Bank of Ireland for more euros and then to a bit of gift shopping – the smallest, lightest weight stuff I can find, of course. And finally, to Londis for bananas and milk. Yep, Londis is the name of one of the grocery stores. Not Landis (my maiden name for those of you who don’t know) but close enough for my trade.
Kathy comes back from Dublin this evening. Tomorrow we’ll do more stuff around Kinsale. Wednesday evening we’re going to the Spaniard for a late dinner and Trad Irish music FINALLY. I’m hoping Margie, Alana, and Joan will join us for the outing. They have all been so very helpful and friendly to me. Then Kathy and I will go to Cork for Thursday and Friday evenings at Michelle’s home – Friday evening is a BIG ARTSY night in town – as all over Ireland on the 25th – a big celebration of Arthur Guinness 250 years – may not have the number right but a LONG TIME. You know me and numbers – not very good at them. Interesting side note – the taxi driver told me that young people don’t drink Guinness – they’re into Budweiser, Heineken, and Miller beers! How’s that for supporting the economy! Remember, the bulk of the population is young people now.
Can’t think of anything else right now – Oh, I’ve misplaced my camera so I’ll have to rely on what is already in the computer – they’ll be a bit old, but still new to you. I’ll see what I can come up with when I get to the café to post this. I have picked up a Quick-snap Fuji camera to finish out the week. Hopefully when we pack up we’ll run across my Canon.
Enough.
