That was the weekend that was ....,

My commute this morning was longer than usual. From BF's house in the West of Ireland to my office near the Piccadilly Line in four hours flat. That's great said BF on skype later asking me did I see her camera. But is it? I had my enthusiastic colleagues getting excited about what we are doing and while normally, I am in the thick of it, today, I was kinda quiet. I guess I needed a bit more space between tranquility and action. We all need time to digest and reflect.

BF and I attended an art launch exhibition - a brave venture in a recession as the local politician who opened it intoned. An ecletic range of art with a packed gallery to view it. An amazing number of people I met there are natives of districts located near the Piccadilly Line and they moved the other way. Am I missing something? The artists were Breda Burns, Margaret Duffy, Betty Gannon, Pamela Gray, Mary O'Grady, Grainne O'Reilly, Susie Quinn, Sinead Wall and Ian Wieczorek. I particularly liked Breda, Margaret and Susie but resisted buying as the thought of flooring and light fittings took over.

So we stopped off in McGing's Pub on the way back and caught a bit of a session. I enjoyed the pint of Guinness and me and BF reviewed the weekend. We had ticked a lot of boxes - delicious dressed crab, a long walk, a Guinness, art, coffee, talk and relax. So I am back on the Piccadilly Line and will be back to normal tomorrow.
