Yay for the end of this year's 365 blog! After 2 years I think I'm burnt out, so I won't be doing another year. This means I'll probably end up posting more pictures on my regular blog, Pass the Potatoes, so check us out over there! Thanks so much for following me this year!

There's a crocheted coral reef display at Trinity's Science Gallery. I have to say, I love the coral reef, but this isn't really my thing.

363/365

I tempted the weather gods by going out without at least one pair of socks on for the first time in...oh...7 months!

362/365

I walk this way all the time and I've never noticed this superskinny building. I haven't seen a place this skinny since we were in Amsterdam!

361/365

Her two least favorite things: getting in the crate to go to the vet and getting her picture taken.

360/365

We went for a picnic at Ashtown Castle in Phoenix Park!

359/365

We got all fancied up and went for an anniversary dinner at The Winding Stair. See?

358/365

The Chuggers are regrouping (pep talk included) before launching a full-fledged assault on Henry Street.

357/365

I bought an Easter posy today! Nothing says Easter to me like a nice, smelly Hyacinth.

356/365

In a way of getting my arse off the sofa today (and because I was too lazy to walk in with him this morning) I met Wes at his work and walked home with him. Look! Here he comes!

355/365

I bought myself some Easter candy today. They're not egg-shaped, but they'll tide me over until we go to the US and my parents bring me some! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON'T FORGET!!!

354/365

Snow!?? Really!??

353/365

Dirty, wet daffodil. Ahhh...springtime in Ireland!

352/365

Low tide on the Liffey. Stinky.

351/365

This cat LOVES plastic bags! She licks them, rubs them, claws at them, then climbs inside it to hang out.

350/365

I was in the bedroom today and saw a young boy outside pointing at one of the posters on the wall across the street. I was curious what the sign was for and sweet motherload KISS is coming to Dublin!!!

349/365

A gorgeous sunny (and warm!) day in Smiffy!!!

348/365

I made some chocolate stout cupcakes today (they're not frosted yet). The recipe called for Guinness, but this Corkonian household drinks Beamish!

347/365

The famine statues on the quays. I find them incredibly haunting. They're 'walking' towards the end of the quays where the ships would have been moored.

346/365

I've started doing an oil cleansing method for cleaning my face at night. I use 25% castor oil and 75% olive oil. I would have used regular old EVOO, but then I found this 'medicinal' olive oil at Boots. It was fairly cheap, so I picked some up. Last night was the first night and so far so good! I thought I'd wake up all greasy, but that wasn't the case at all!

345/365

Only in Ireland....

344/365

The in laws came to Dublin for the day and we headed to the zoo. The poor kid wanted to see the 'King Lion' so bad and they didn't have one. He was not impressed by the female lion at all.

343/365

Yay for spring and the beautiful window boxes that come with it!

342/365

Yay for tiny daffodils!

341/365

Happy St Patrick's Day!

340/365

Best. Bread. Ever! There's condensation on it because it was still warm when I bought it. Yum!

339/365

Wes thinks she's spoiled. Whatever.

338/365

Potty training au naturale!

337/365

Some of the famous English Snowdrops that are out at this time of year!

336/365

I met some old work colleagues for lunch. Ben got a chicken pitta with a side of chicken. He thought the presentation could have been better....

335/365

I wasn't allowed to take a picture of David Sedaris, so I took one of Helen, Emma, and a very pensive-looking guy in the background.

334/365

The green jacket was out, which could only mean one thing - job interview. And no, I couldn't take my earphones out for a few seconds just to get the picture. I was listening to The Cadets!

333/365

I love you, Dave Matthews Band.

332/365

My camera has died and I have no batteries, so instead of not posting a picture, I decided to take an old picture and have fun with the photo editor!

331/365

 

After a really nice day out in Howth (pictures here), we stepped of the LUAS to find this. Being that today is the first Sunday of the month means that it's horse sale day in Smithfield Square. Gross.

330/365

 

 The weather was gorgeous so we went for a walk around Dublin. This is the Grand Canal at Portobello. 

329/365

It's warm enough to have the bedroom window open and hopefully air out the germs!

328/365

Does a candle make dinner romantic??

327/365

Woot woot!!! I can't wait to try it!

326/365

Saw this gem at Penny's. Be sure to stop by if you're a giant looking for footed pajamas.

325/365

Hello Spring!

324/365

We stopped for a treat at McDonald's today. Doesn't he look excited?? Ha! I had a chocolate milkshake and some french fries - a match created by the gods.

323/365

Gemma and Oscar gave me these earrings and a matching necklace for my birthday. They bought them at the Gaudi house when we were in Barcelona.

322/365

Our 'gym'. Ha!

321/365

Under the portico at the Bank of Ireland.

320/365

A cloudy and soon-to-be rainy day on Grand Canal Dock.

319/365

This is an amazing fishmonger right around the corner from our flat. We've lived here for a year and today's the first day we've bought anything from them. Oops. What you can't see in this picture is that it's freaking SNOWING! Ugh!!

318/365

Getting stuff together for the charity shop and the clothes bank. I love decluttering!

317/365

Here is Wes trying to rebook his flight to Lisbon. He got up at 4:30am and went all the way to the airport just to find out it was cancelled due to about 5 cm of snow. The flight was already sold out by the time he tried this, so no Lisbon for him!

316/365

Wes made BIG promises of burritos at this new place on Baggott Street. We had to stop by his office on the way there and this is the view from his top floor office. We were starving as we walked up to the burrito place and it was CLOSED! BOOO!!!!
