Day 346

I saw this tree before, but it was only today that I realised it was a shrine to a girl that was (presumably) killed nearby. Now I find it a sad mix of poignancy and delight.

Day 286

I saw this rather peculiar tree on the Grand Canal this evening: it was bedecked in wind-chimes and angels. All quite odd, but charming nonetheless.

Day 219

I am genuinely too sick to take down the Christmas tree, so instead I've plugged in the lights and ignored the date

Day 203

A day spent shopping, snoozing on the couch, and then in the cinema for The Hobbit. Dundrum shopping centre is all done up Christmassy, which given the season, is nice!

Day 199

First day with my new Canon 7D and macro lens, and already it's paying dividends. Although there's still a few niggles to work out, this big close up of my Christmas tree ornaments is a step in the right direction.

Day 196

I had a photo from the Aviva stadium for today's blog, but after Leinster losing to Clermont it didn't feel right. So, instead, I decided to post a pic of our newly decorated Christmas tree: an altogether more cheerful sight.
