I got an unexpected Saturday off!!
Found out about it last Saturday, so phoned K straight away to book us all a weekend away....as you do!!!
We had already been planning a trip to Dublin on Sunday, as the boys are going to a big hurling match. Meg and I decided to go up to the zoo for the day rather than stay at home alone.
So, we arrived last night at the biggest hotel I've ever seen! It's like a rabbit warren of corridors, stairs and so many doors it's unbelievable. The room is a bit drab and dated and the food has left a bit for my delicate palate to desire! But, on the brighter side, the staff are friendly and helpful....and plentiful! Just as well 'cos the place is mobbed!
Anyway, we have had a fabulous 24 hours!
We started the day with some 4-in-a-bed hilarity, which followed us to the swimming pool (wow! Fab pool!!) where we spent an hour. Then we headed off to Tayto Park, just north of Dublin. (Google it!)
Apart from getting a drenching half way through the day (the sun more or less dried us out again afterwards!) we had an absolute ball! Loved it!
I have to be grateful today for my lovely family....and surprise Saturdays off!!!
Now....we're all going to the zoo tomorrow! Well, me and Meg anyway!!
Bring it on!!!
Gratefully yours.
