It’s another beautiful, sunny day in Dublin. The weather forecast says I won’t need an umbrella until Thursday, which is good, because I forgot to buy one over the weekend.

We have a shared green area out the back of our house and lately we’ve been using it to play fetch with our dog. It works a treat to take her out there a couple of times a day. The only downside is that I haven’t been for a decent walk for weeks. Good thing I’m meeting my friend C for a beach walk with both our dogs on Wednesday.
