I haven’t been keeping the blog up to date this month, and now it is time to catch up… After the excitement of New York, writing about life in Dublin just didn’t seem to do it for me. Anyway, here we go…
1st July
The plan was… to meet Damien and Chris at the apartment and go to The Ivy House to discuss plans to go back to Malaysia in August. We did make it to the Ivy House for one or two, but persuaded Damo to head into town to meet up with the Browne clan. It wasn’t easy because he had dressed for a couple of pints in a local, not clubbing in town but Chris leant him his jacket.
We went to the Clarence Hotel, AKA which to be honest I will probably avoid from now on and to Lilly’s which I always try to avoid. I generally don’t like going back to places that don’t let me in for no reason, and Lilly’s is one of these places. We ended up dancing for most of the night with Ann Marie and Jeff.
We left there at the very end and headed to a wine bar. I had never been here before and I found it a strange place. It was mixture of people from all ages and walks drinking overly priced wine which to be honest tasted of nothing.
When the wine bar was opened we left to walk home, but first stopped in Abrakebabra for a chip butty. The place was closing down so we waited outside while we eat on O’Connell Street. The place was empty except for a couple near us. A couple of more people came and soon were fighting beside a parked cop car which was waiting to see what was going on. They guy with the girlfriend attempted a punch, but missed and before he knew what was going on was in handcuffs.
The walk home was great. As we were going through Summer Hill the sun was rising. It was 0615 before we got in…
