On Saturday we went over to my boyfriend's parents' house and had a lovely barbeque with his family. We had lovely food, including strawberries, cream and meringues for dessert. In the afternoon we went to see Donnacha's parents building that they are renovating for their business and then for a stroll around town. We came back that evening and sat out in the garden drinking some wine and beer and listening to the Beatles, the Beach Boys, David Bowie and The Kinks. It was a really relaxing evening, I miss having a garden to sit in when the weather is nice. We had a lovely roof garden in our apartment building last year but unfortunately we didn't get to make much use of it.

On Sunday late morning we had a full Irish breakfast and then set off for home. It was a lovely weekend away but it's always good to be home. Last night we went to a gig in Anseo on Camden Street. Simon was playing bass for his new housemate's band. It was nice to catch up with friends and listen to some music to round off the weekend. My sister stayed over last night and we all watched the new episode of the IT crowd! It was great! It made me want to go back and rewatch all the other seasons. I'm sure I will at some stage.
I was so happy to receive my coach bag in the post on Thursday! It's always nice to get something in the mail, but especially the day before payday. It's such a great bag, I can't believe how little I paid for it. Speaking of which, funny story; I got an email last night from the ebay user who sold me the bag. In the email she said that I owed her just over $11 extra for shipping because it cost her more than she thought it would. I found this absolutely hilarious and very confusing as it had been 2 weeks since I paid for the bag (which I paid for as soon as I was emailed the invoice) and the price that she quoted me as costing her was not the price on the envelope which I happened to still have. So really it only cost her a little over $5 extra for shipping. But the way I saw it, it was her who underestimated the shipping costs and I had paid the costs she had quoted under the item shipping and handling charges on the item page. I think she must be just chancing her arm that I would fall for it. Needless to say I retracted my positive feedback. What a joke! I love the bag anyway!
So that was my weekend. How was yours? Did you have any adventures?
Until next time...
