A Day in North Wales

[Saturday 15th September]
Had a fairly quiet day relaxing at Dad's house in North Wales. Got up late, and then had a big hearty brunch around 11:30.

Just went out for a short time in the early afternoon, to take Yates for a walk along one of his favourite coastal paths. He seems to really enjoy having a roll about on the cliff top, dangerously close to the edge. It was lovely weather out - albeit somewhat blustery (which didn't bode well for my ferry crossing to Ireland tomorrow!).

On our return to the house we had tea out in the back garden, Dad made some rather good Welsh cakes to go with it.

Later on, Dad prepared the usual eclectic feast for dinner - including some excellent mushrooms soaked in red wine, and a very tasty paneer dish including tomatoes and melon (!).

In between the various bouts of eating and the walk, I spent a large part of the day on the Internet . Mostly I was looking for places to eat and drink in Dublin. It has been a while since my last business trip, and on that occasion I was lucky enough to have Chie come along with me, so didn't have to endure the ordeal of eating out alone. I'll only be in Dublin two nights - and possibly one of those nights I'll be meeting up with my friend there - so it won't be that bad I suppose. Who knows, I may even enjoy it for once.
