A rare thing in Ireland...a clear blue sky. This was one of many lovely views we enjoyed in Carlingford which we visited about two weeks ago.

3 years ago on Valentine's weekend, we drove down the motorway to look at some basset hound puppies. We already knew we would bring one home..we just weren't sure which one. I sat down on the floor and within a few mins a little bundle of golden fur sat on my lap. And that was that. He chose me. I wanted to call him Romeo but he came to be known as Boris and we've been inseparable ever since. And they call it puppy love ❀❀

As if to say, 'hello, take my picture instead'....so I did πŸ™‚
I've had Monday off and I've spent it cleaning and decluttering. At first I resented having to clean on a precious day off but I kept going. I took several boxes to the charity shop including loads of unused glasses and cookery books I never found time to cook from. Then, late afternoon the sun streamed through the kitchen, lighting up a lovely clean space and I feel like a weight's been lifted. Time to get the kettle on I think. Happy Monday evening all πŸ™‚
