Yesterday we went to a movie at the Omni Theater in Longford.  Movies were about 6 euro, which is about $9 so comparable to prices back home.  There was no AC so we didn't freeze in the theater.  They do not have Junior Mints which was a bummer - as we all know they are very refreshing!  But they had other candies which they keep refrigerated so they don't melt.  Theater seats were very comfortable and they had stadium seating.

We walked around Longford, ate at a pub, chatted with the owner, and walked home.  Weather was fine, a little rain, then sun, then rain, then sun, it changes frequently.

Fridge is working fine now and we were able to shop for a good supply of groceries and I guess this means I get to cook.  Yippie......

We currently have a loaner car (the one Abbott provides has to go in for a "check-up") and the loaner is a manual.  I can drive a manual BUT this would mean shifting with my left hand so neither I nor the kids is interested in seeing if I can handle it!  I have managed roundabouts, finding my way around (with more than a little help) and driving on the left so let's stay successful and not push it with a manual....

This morning I took advantage of the morning sunshine and after walking Steve to work the dogs and I went to the leisure center and walked the mall  (which is apparently the term for a park).  When we got home there was a letter delivered which the mail carrier puts through the door slot.  It was for Zach from Kirstin!  It was a lovely morning and now it is clouding over.  It will rain, but it might be brief, who knows?!
