Back to normal

The few weeks we had with nice warm weather is over. The drizzle and cold winds are back and you have to wear jackets again. No fun.
It's midsummer this weekend, but I haven't decided yet what we'll do. Plans were first to go down to Diarmuid's parents, but we decided to postpone it until after our holidays. So either we'll go for a nice picnic somewhere or - if nothing better - head out to the Swedish embassy where they will have traditional celebrations.
Was over at my friend Julie's on Monday and took the picture below from her balcony. The apartment is close to the IFSC which is where the Celtic tiger once was born. The area between Julie's and IFSC used to be one of the worst areas in Dublin and most houses still need quite a bit of plaster and paint, but with that sunset it sure looks a lot better.

Am off to Sweden and Stockholm next week for some business/holidays. Can't wait, really hope that the weather is going to be good as I desperately need some sun...
