Well, that wasn’t very successful. :) The train was nearly an hour late, making us sufficiently late into Dublin that we couldn’t possibly catch an early movie. So no Casanova in the morning. Instead we had lunch, where we were asked if we were here on holiday and told that Cork was lovely, and picked up the tickets to Mirrormask. I also attempted to shop for shoes. Have I mentioned the shoe stores here? They’re like crack cocaine. Everywhere you turn somebody’s offering you a hit. Ted said a couple…

movie day!
We’re off to Dublin and the movies today! The plan is Casanova, Mirrormask and Aeon Flux. I expect by the end of the day we’ll be all whirly-eyed. :) Right. We’re off!
funny funny family
So yesterday while we were figuring out where the restaurant was, Ted got out his mobile to call and ask how to get there. For some reason, the mobile wouldn’t let him dial properly at first, and, being my mother’s daughter, I thrust out my hand to make him give it to me to look at.

golly what a day

Shaun came with, so we all piled into a small car with not-very-comfortable seats, and the 3 of in the back seat had an ongoing comedy of errors regarding the seatbelts. :) It took about four hours of driving, but we eventually did make it to Cork, where Ted went in and talked with the general…
weigh-in
Weigh-in this morning: 155. That’s down somewhere between 2.5 and 3.5 pounds in the last week. I am very, very happy about this. It helps the old motivation, it does. Today’s probably going to be difficult to count, as we’re going down to Cork and I imagine we’ll be eating out for lunch and dinner, but I’ll try not to go overboard anywhere. In the unlikely event I could keep up 2 pounds a week, I’d be down around 150 for I-Con. That’s my goal. It’s a pipe dream, but…
