When you spend seven to eight days in a row in work, what do you do with your one, precious day off?
Today I met up with Rosemary and went to the 4th Toejam car boot sale at the Bernard Shaw. The sun even shone! A miracle. That kind of thing doesn’t seem to happen in July in Dublin.
For lunch, we went to some new little Italian cafe on Camden street. I dunked thick hunks of bread into olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
I came back home, hoovered the house, loaded up some cameras with film, listened to Sigur Rós’ Hvarf-Heim, looked out the window at the rain, sulked, then went to see The Spook of the Thirteenth Lock in Whelans. They were uhhhhh-mazing.
Then I got chips and went home and watched Jesus Camp. Terrifying.
(I’m sticking with my tradition of an accompanying black and white image relevant to the post but just to clarify – this is a dog at a car boot sale)

It was great; the café we ate in is called Olio & Farina, was delish – I realised when I got home that they have a shop in Galway, that I had never gone into (I now regret that).
Ah, dogs… and dogs in jumpers. Nothing better of a Saturday afternoon!
