Boats and Sunshine
Tuesday June 2nd
Well I think that’s the first time I’ve been able to walk to work with no jumper or Jacket in Ireland so far. After work I took a long walk through the city to Luis and Albertos place. I stopped off at HMV though to play Metallica Guitar Hero for a while. OK OK I also took my time walking along the docks, there was an old boat left set up from the maritime festival. There’s a bridge that has been delivered butnot yet put in place, that’s fascinating. Also it was a stunning warm day with blue skies.
We had a party at Albertos because he was leaving for Manchester. We ordered pizza sat in the sun and chatted. Played Wii for a while too.
Wednesday June 3rd
Got woken up at 6am because it’s so hot….. IN IRELAND!! I’m still in shock by the weather change, but enjoying every sunny minute of it. I found out the PHPNW conference will be in Manchester in October, I’d really like to try and go. Made good progress on my project today. Swapped out some ajaxy stuff for jquery stuff on another task too! first time using jquery.
Don’t think I can resist the ice creams put in freezer at work cuz it’s so sunny and gorgeous and ice cream weather!
Thursday June 4th
Fixing bugs, hacking on PHP & JavaScript goodies, the usual. Went for a walk along the canals, plenty of sunshine and ducks. Exactly four weeks now until I’m on the plane to Canaries for GUADEC 2009 Heading to HMV after work to play Metallica Guitar Hero for a while then decide what to spend vouchers I won on … hrmn.. :D Bought little kings for Wii, Burn after reading, Slumdog millionaire, Twilight and Casino Royale at HMV. Planned groceries for weekend. Cracking open my new game, hope it’s going to be fun! :D I’m now King Jaime and I got a workplace.
Friday June 5th
OK back to normal Irish weather grey sky, light rains, prediction for the next four days is the same. I went outside for some moments of sun at lunchtime and I played frisbee with some of the guys. Our company launched a new site bedandbreakfastworld.com it’s very pretty. We went out for beers to celebrate. A bunch of ex employees were there too so it was a great chance to catch up with everyone. Had a pretty awesome night, went out with some sales people to work after drinks at the Barge for Chinese food, fun fun.
Saturday June 6th
I had to just pretend I didn’t have a hangover. I played Okami. We adventured out into the wild weather to stock up our fridge for the week. Bit miserable with the wet rain and wind. Can’t wait for GUADEC. smoked salmon, chive and new potato tartlets with salad, desert is blackberries, strawberries, mango and cream.
Sunday June 7th
Glad that there’s alright weather outside, heading to my card making class shortly and want to go for a run this evening 3.5 miles. Heading out to play with glitter, pretty paper, shiny things and sticky glue! I did Jackies Sunday craft class on pearse street. Simmering a pot of Indian butter chicken with butternut pumpkin. serving with basmati rice and fresh coriander.
