Lots of Dark corners.... (12Aug10)

The window of The Hideout on South William street. A hang out for teenagers for years now, it has a pool hall downstairs and slot machines galore.

Good intentions

This bike has been at this house (no.54 Richmond street) for at least 2 weeks now. You can't really see it in the image, but there was a mouldy sandwich on the seat of the bike!!

Guilty Pleasure

Sooo, after a bit of a bad day today courtesy of one very ignorant individual..........We decided we deserved a treat, and I won't be home for take-out Friday anyway! We headed off to our favourite Chipper, Apriles. Now, my favourite Fish&Chip shop in Dublin is actually Beshoff's (Apriles is a good substitute), and their best one is in Howth. Fish fresh off the boat, and they make the BEST fish-cakes.

Two more girls got burnt...

I think these are part of a series, because I blogged another one of these in June. That one was 1974. This one is 2004, taken on a lamppost on Richmond Street. I wonder if there's one for every decade? In case you can't read the image, this one reads:

that rotten year, poor old four.

a trigger debate, a quiet mistake.

a ganged array, a call made late.

a consumed, arranged carriage of fate.

a marriage miscarried, called off late.

twelve more months of dirt.

two more girls got burnt.

dead helen, dead horses, a century late.

Reaching

This Buddleja was taking over on Redmond's Hill.

Young Lizzy

The Queen on a doorway on Camden street, haven't seen one of these before. Will keep an eye out though. Generally I would post stuff like this on my StreetArt/Graffiti Blog, Curious Mermaid. But I liked this one so much I put it here!

Honey

A bee enjoying a Buddleja flower in the grounds of Trinity College outside the Museum Building, on the cricket pitch side.

Where we're goin.........we don't need roads!

Driving through the airport today to collect tickets, we drove under the new Terminal 2. It's looking pretty savage.

Lived Inn

An abandoned building on Marks Alley West, off Francis street.

China pot

Detail of a flower pot hanging on my Grandad's shed, in their back garden in Finglas.

Beefy! (02Aug10)

Buffalo tomatoes from the greenhouse for the birthday BBQ. It was my sister's 12th birthday, and we took advantage of the good weather.

It's cold out there! (01Aug10)

Sooooo.....us being MAD, we decided to go for a swim on Sunday morning. The water wasn't exactly what you would call warm, it being the Atlantic! But it did wake us hungover bunnies up.

Looloo! (31July10)

Out on the town in Galway on Saturday night, this poster was hung on the wall outside the ladies in Kelly's bar. This was the last weekend of the Galway Races, town was packed. They had closed off the central streets, there were so many people out. Mad craic!

Don't talk about the chef like that!! (30July10)

De Mad Hoor in Althlone, on the road down to Galway on Friday we stopped in Athlone for a bite to eat and walked past this lovely establishment! And no, we didn't eat there.

A wee bit late.

Soooo, I was at home in Connemeara, Co. Galway at the weekend. Am late with the posting. And as I was clearly not in Dublin, photos will be of Galway. :)
