just got up. gonna do a quick little work out with simon. then it’s lunch time.. shower. and then coursework for the majority of the day!

then once i’ve been good and done loads of work (maybe an exaggeration) it’s time for the st. patricks day celebrations! whooooo.

hope you’re all wearing green

never thought i’d say this but thank god for the irish! okay i think i take that back, irish might actually kill me.

since the boys are ever so entertaining with their sports and games, i’ve invited the lovely irish over whom i haven’t seen in ages.

should be a good little catch up

After a bit of sleep on the plane as well, Simon 21 year old birthday boy and i ended up in Dublin, Ireland.

It was well early and EVERYTHING was closed. good planning on my part? no.

so we wandered around the empty streets. finally settled for breakfast at a little shop, what a disappointment!

then we got a tour bus, figured it was less walking, could go to the Guinness factory, and learn a bit about the city!

the driver told us how he cured his depression, “i watch my wedding video… on rewind, my favourite part is when she gives me the ring back, gets in the car and fucks off.”

finally checked in at the hotel around 3. took a well needed nap. then got ready for dinner!

ate at a little thai restaurant, food was good but it’s no monkey & me

then we went to cafe en seine, of course, for a couple! simon was so tired we were home around 1. not the night i had planned for, but it was good to get some sleep.

sunday we wandered around. bought a glass from hard rock for my mamma, looked in the shops. walked to where dad and i used to live. stopped by a christmas market, and last but not least drank in Temple Bar.

had a horrible indian meal for dinner and jetted off to the airport and were back in my flat in london by 1130.

simon and i are leaving very earlier tomorrow morning from heathrow. going to dublin, ireland. i am so excited.

won’t be any updates over the weekend!

for a month now i’ve been keeping a tiny little secret. i was going to surprise simon with a weekend trip for his 21st birthday.

his birthday is saturday and don’t you think that i happened to blurt it out today?! i cried cause i was so frustrated with myself. he’s happy though.

so from saturday morning till sunday evening i will be enjoying the lovely city that is dublin.

i’ve missed it so much, i am well excited to visit again! i think simon is looking forward to all the guinness as well

Simon’s mom was lovely today and drove us up to this pub in the middle of nowhere basically and we had a good lunch. called the lion inn and it seemed pretty popular!  i had leek and potato soup, moms is better but still good! when we drove up we were basically in a cloud so you couldn’t see anything! however on the way back we could see much more. like all the sheep just chillin on the side of the road. scenery was much like ireland, guess them being rather close explains that! had a little nap in the car on the way home because i am tired today!

leaving Dublin today. dads moving to sweden in a couple of weeks so who knows when ill be back here again! i love this city and ill miss it. specially the apartment here, the bed, the view, the people, the pubs and clubs, everything! i’ve had a lovely weekend but it’s sadly back to real life now.. wearing monki skirt today!

went around Dublin today looking for jeans. i found a pair. although i felt they were too expensive. they’re cheaper in the states texas this summer please? they fit PERFECTLY. ive never tried on a pair of jeans and loved them immediately. however they were the smallest size and the sales woman said they’d stretch. so no, im not paying 200+ euros for them. i would no doubt pay the 165 dollars though. i loved them that much. oh well, will have to go searching in london!

going in to the city, not that im not in the city. just going into the heart of dublin. canceling my irish bank account. then browsing, and maybe if im lucky some shopping?

let me just say that it wasn’t as impressive as the guinness brewery. however it was quite entertaining, wish our tour guide would’ve done a better job though! had a lovely taste of jameson whiskey after the tour. i got a whiskey and ginger ale, dad took one straight. tasted his and made some pretty weird facial expressions. not enjoyable! mine was at least drinkable
