18th June 2015 - Sweet Sicily in Big Dublin and summer

Summer is finally here which means it's above 20 degrees and we can go for long walks at the beach which I did today with my friend. I hadn't seen her since her holiday in Greece so our catch-up was lovely. Life is busy at the moment and work keeps me occupied during the day so I'm not up to much otherwise.

Another friend brought me recently to a lovely Italian coffee place in the middle of Dawson Street in Dublin. I walked right past them as I didn't realise it was down in their basement with two (or three floors) of craft shops above them. All very reasonable if you think that it was in the middle of Dublin 2. The coffee shop itself is called "Sweet Sicily". They lovely coffees and paninis. And their Nutella cakes are divine. Had to give in. Certainly a lovely spot for coffee and get away from the crowded Dublin roads. The tourists are here so you are happy to find little hidden spots that take you away for a while, making your forget that you still live in Dublin.


Door to the coffee place from Dawson Street. It looks very small but extends to the back.

Otherwise I've spent the last couple of days taking the occasional picture with my phone - as said - I'm not up to much these days. It's too warm already to move and it's still very bright outside late at night. I spent a night at friend's house last week and it was still bright by 11:00pm. Same when I left the cinema last Sunday (Jurassic World - good movie). The sun was only really starting to set.


Not quite sure what flower this is but I was blooming just outside Sweet Sicily.


The flowers around the train station are in full bloom at the moment and I've also never seen such much Elderflower blooming. I feel the itch in my finger to make cordial again and I found a recipe for Elderflower gin/vodka on the internet. Definitely on my To-Do-list.

My legs are tired so I'm having a quick shower and then off to bed. Night!
