Day 27 - A relaxed Sunday

 Day 27 - A relaxed Sunday

This is probably going to be short and sweet today, because I did very little...

As suggested in yesterday's post, I went to Mass last night, so I indulged in a lovely sleep in today and didn't wake up until 9 am. My bed was the warmest place in my little house, because it's been freezing today. There are weather warnings right throughout Ireland, so I wasn't going to chance it and go anywhere today.

Don't think it got to 12°

After my late start, I wandered down for my coffee. I was grateful for the warm shop, as much as the cup of coffee!

The beach was surprisingly demure considered the wind.

I didn't stay long beside the beach, the wind was biting! So after my coffee I decided to have a peruse through the shops, which I haven't really done so far. I'm not bringing home any souvenirs, but I was happy just to have a look.  And once again, the shops were lovely and warm!

When I eventually came home I had a few jobbies to attend to. My credit card bill had come in over night!!!  So I had to get into my banking and do some organising! We're so lucky now that it can all be done on line.

I've also used a prepaid credit card, which saves me getting a bank bill every time I use it. I upload my Aussie dollars and it converts them to Euros, which is a sad site in itself! But then I can tap and go without those dreaded bank charges. Just have to keep your eye on the total to make sure you have enough money in that account to cover the expenses. Amazing how quickly it goes down!!!!  😟

After all that brain work, it was time for lunch, so I headed for the Corner Stone for another lovely bowl of soup and soda bread. While I was there a big bus load of tourists came in for their lunch... lucky I made it in just before them!

On the way back, I braved the elements for a short while, and took a few more pics... The tide was just about in by now.

I took a pic from further up, so you can get a sense of the Promenade...

Then I just headed for home and I've been here ever since. Played some games on my computer, went back into Ancestry for a while, chatted to a few people on line, and that's all I've done.

I'm meeting Marie for dinner at the Atlantic, which will be a lovely way to finish off a nice relaxed day.

It looks like the rain has stopped, so I might be brave enough to have another wander down the beach.  But I don't think it will be a long one!
