so after working out daddy and i stopped by the cafe here on the corner and got a slice of pizza. i know it sounds REALLY unhealthy but it wasnt like normal pizza.. like it was more like a piece of bread with some toppings.. yeah okay i give up on explaining that. you work out to be able to eat no? anyways i didnt eat all of mine and we saw bella swim by with her baby so we went to feed them. oh my god! the bebe is adorable. and bella wasnt aggressive at all, just very hungry. 

any name suggestions for the bebe? so then afterwards we went up to the penthouse terrace, and i soaked up the sun. amazing view from up there. today i think summer finally came to dublin!

so me and dad walked by the canal and bought some groceries. i also got the newest edition of cosmopolitan magazine. loves it. on the way there and back we saw some ducklings, the cutest things ever. also swans, and we stopped to take a little ‘snack’. me and dad both bought a donut and a drink. i had an innocent smoothie of course hehe. 

heres dad and i by the place we sat..

some of the ducklings and swans.. 

hard to explain cause we were speaking swedish of course, but dad told me to take it.. which in swedish is like touch it, and i looked at him like ‘you want me to touch the swan?! that thing will bite my head off’ and then he informed me that he meant for me to take a picture. ha. 

so today my throat finally doesnt feel like i have a huge blob of something stuck in it. i still sound pretty funny when i talk and im coughing but this at least means its going in the right direction! here in dublin it feels like summer today. looking out theres a bunch of boats and people by the boat docks, dogs are playing, and bella and elliott had kids! im thinking me and dad are going to have to get out of the apartment today.. at least a little bit! well time for breakfast, dad made me a toasted bagel with cream cheese, yum!

yesterday we took a trip down to the water (right outside our building) to fed our beloved pet, Elliott. here are the results.. 

ahh see! dad sitting on the park bench and enjoying the sun. we went back to stephens green, not on purpose just ended up there. we got some left over bread and went down to feed elliott, but he was nowhere in sight. so we walked and ended up there. stopped at a store bought two muffins and a diet coke for me and a coffee for papi. it was so nice to just sit in the sun. the wind was nowhere to be found so it was warm. almost too warm for my uggs. i was going to feed the swans and ducks there, but by the looks of all the people and bread around they werent hungry so i ended up sitting next to an old lady feeding the pigeons. yep. thats me. 

then after soaking up all the sun we could get we went on a further walk. ended up seeing the first pub i ever went to in Dublin go up in flames. heres a picture of the firefighters trying to put the fire out. crazy smoke and water flowing on the street outside.

we then continued our ‘little’ walk that turned into a 5 hour walk. we ended up at irelands oldest pub! dad had a guinness like usual. from the pictures i put up it looks like hes an alcoholic. i swear he doesnt drink that much he works too! he works ten times more than he drinks, i just dont find those pictures interesting. 

after all of that we then went to have dinner at diwali or something like that.. indian food. i like! no i love! i had masala with chick peas. yummy yummy. then we walked home too. by the time we got home i was HOT from the speed walking and the sun and just my luck.. the elevator was broken. so up we go 6 flights of stairs. makes me wonder if all i do at the gym does nothing for me? times like those im happy we dont live in the penthouse! anyways i think i got my fair share of exercise today even if i didnt go to the gym this morning!

yep. thats what my ‘walk’ turned into. me and dad went into the city centre for a ‘snack’ we passed a japanese restaurant and i havent eaten edamame in SEVEN months. so dad drank a beer, and we both got our own bowl of edamame. yummy in my tummy.

then we decided to go to the st. stevens green park. always walked by it but never in it so why not? turns out its actually very pretty. swans and many many flowers. its so weird that such a calm place exists in the middle of a bustling city!

now im sitting here listening to funhouse, getting ready for the pink concert this weekend while dad makes dinner. taco friday! loves it. miss you emmelie.
