Yesterday

Yesterday, T. rescued a bird.

Yesterday, we had a real gully washer of a rainstorm: Thunder, lightning, and raindrops this size of bowling balls coming down harder than than a jackhammer. The lightning was something else, though.

Yesterday, we had dinner at an excellent restaurant called Sage. Everything from the decor to the food was meticulous. Don't let anyone tell you that there are no good restaurants in Ireland, not with servings like this:

Aubergine parmesan

Homemade ravioli stuffed with spinach and ricotta and served with a creamy butter sauce

Fried potato wedges (of course)

Vanilla ice cream and biscotti with a shot of espresso

Another espresso

Not only that, we took advantage of a custom here called the Early Bird Special, which in this case offered the first three plus the espresso for a reasonable fixed price...

Here's a man who really does support the troops...

Peace...

Sarah Palin supports the troops and respects the flag. (Thanks to Just my little piece of the world.):
