Well, the housewarming party was a huge success. We had a variety of international travelers, as and INSANELY AND WONDERFULLY popped over from England for the day, and was down from the North. And there were the various ex-pats living in Dublin who attended; people from America and Spain and France and Poland and Germany, plus a load of Dubs (and at least one Cork lass), so it was a genuinely international sort of event.

Housewarming Party
The housewarming party has already proven a success, as it has done precisely what it was intended to: caused us to get the rest of the house unpacked and sorted.
