stone animals 18 March 2009
Cardiff looked utterly fabulous today and I only wish I’d had time to go into the magnificent castle there. One of the great sights from my drive into the city the day before yesterday was the walled surround of that castle. I don’t know but I assume the walls are a Victorian feature. Splendidly, climbing over those walls are various exotic animals as if they are sneaking out – lions, bears, and so on. Utterly enchanting.
I decided to head back to Dublin and leave a trip to London awhile – economics and the fact that I SO need to unpack the last of the boxes and get everything out and working again. Then I can make a lovely return to Soho (and it will be soon) – in the meantime I shall send Himself over. He is a very lucky bunny at the moment as I came back from Cardiff with a ticket for him for the rugby match on Saturday. Hopefully he will be there to see Ireland take the RBS trophy…though I will have to tell you that Welsh tails are up, if my impressions this time out were anything to go by.
Another partial success is that I think I may have found a pair of jeans that don’t look utterly awful on me – hope they look okay when I wear them in Real Life as opposed to a cramped dressing room – it’s a difficult item of clothing to get right for a roundy woman such as myself.
