Evening Folks,

I did it...I left the house today after some gentle arm twisting by Elaine...

So kitted our with my long johns and cold weather gear we headed out to Dublin to pick up Elaine's engagement ring. The diamond on it was loose and it had to be fixed. It was very hard to get Elaine out of the jewelry's as all these sparkling items were distracting her. Anyway after promising that we visit again to try to get Elaine pendant remounted we finally left the shop...in the background was the shop keeper words ringing in our ears that "we can always upgrade to a new piece of jewelry". On that note we left the shop without too much expenditure...We did manage to wangle two valuations from the shop keeper at no extra charge. But then...nothing much was done to the ring except cleaning and squeezing the mounts. If I had the right tools I could had done it myself...

We then went for some dim sums at the Good World Restaurant. Maybe my taste buds were off but the food taste very brand. Mind you we only had 4 small dish of dim sums and it only came to €20 which is not bad considering that was only lunch.

We also did some grocery shopping at Asia Market we park in Drury's Street carpark which is only yards away. We then did a whistle stop shopping at Tesco. We just got home in time for our youngest son returning from school.

As you might have guessed today was a good day for me..still getting the old tingles in my fingers and toes while in the cold. It was very manageable compared with the previous few cycles.

Well signing off for now...

Later,

Sai.
