It Is "Lashing" Out, Again

As a woman nearby so aptly put, it is lashing out. Which is to say that it is pouring rain. I am waiting it out a bit in the cactus wing of the main glass house in the National Botanic Gardens. Having been in Dublin a couple of days I think it won't last long. I hope.

The National Botanic Gardens is incredible. I've taken a bunch of pictures so take a look. The gardens were established in 1795 by the Royal Dublin Society. The glass structures are amazing and remarkable considering how old they are. It makes my usual haunt of the Marjorie Bell Conservatory look like child's play.

Haven't done much else today since it turns out I walked across Dublin and back yesterday. I got a bunch of work done and rested my poor legs. I'm not as young as I used to be! To be fair though, I don't know many who could have faired very well on such a trek.

Well, as expected, the sun's out and shining bright now!

  1. Berit! Finally I can post a comment! Our internet has been down and acting up so it has been impossible for me to get on and read your posts, which has made me anxious indeed. Thankfully it is working now and I am happy. The first time I read through the posts from first to last I had tears coming down my face in realization that my dear sister really is a million miles away. Oh, how I wish I was with you. I am so glad to read that you are doing well and seem to be having fun. Have you visited Merrion Square with Oscar Wilde? You must! Love you sister dear!!
    Love,
    Wees
