Stephen the electrician, ever so reliable, tidy, and nice, on the other hand, rang this morning to tell us he would be in tomorrow around 9:30. If only the plumbers were a bit more like him!

Last night, I couldn't face the night in, looking at the dust and the mess everywhere, so we went out for a meal at the China Sichuan restaurant in Stillorgan, our last meal in that location. They are closing next Wednesday, we overheard Kevin tell a customer, and re-opening in their new restaurant the following Monday. We had a peep at the new restaurant last week. It's in Sandyford Industrial Estate, across from the Stillorgan Luas stop, in a quiet cul-de-sac at the foot of one the relatively new apartment blocks there, at the back of the big Microsoft building. It looks really nice, contemporary, understated and plush at the same time. I can't wait to try it out!
BTW, I've written 540 posts to date - that's a bit scary, isn't it? If I was writing a book, it would be one of these big long sagas. Speaking of which, I'm reading A Suitable Boy, by Vikram Seth, for the 3rd time. It's just such a good book, I feel I will read it again and again. When I'm old and grey and I can't walk anymore, hopefully I'll still have the strength to hold that big heavy book and I'm sure it will bring me the same joy as it does today.
