It’s a really good thing that we finally have some short-sleeved-weather days. Since moving to Ireland, C has seen people in shorts and T-shirts so infrequently that he thinks if arms or legs are showing people are “nay-nay” (naked).
My neighbors soak up the sun in the lane. One by one they had to pick up their chairs and move so we could get through with the car.
The Other Side of the Road 
Oh, I love your street! I am surprised (i’m not sure why) Nolan and C speak the same language- nay-nay and yight. Miss you!
In the ever-changing world of toddler language acquisition, the “l” has arrived (I guess it also belies how behind I usually am in posting, too, since this trip was over Easter!)
I miss some of the cute toddler-speak. C also had trouble with the hard “k” sound–so he used to say “nay-ched” or “nay-nay” and “milch” for “milk.” Now everything is a question, “Can I…?” “Can you…?” Hope you are enjoying the heat!
Oh, I love the lane!! How luxurious that people just sit around reading books in the sun!!
Yes, it’s amazing how many people you’ll see reading books (actual books, not e-books) outside on a nice day. Although it’s not all Joyce: one of my neighbors was sunning and reading a book called “Hexes and Hemlines”!
looks very pretty. glad things are warming up!
I’m told it won’t last, but it was amazing while it did. Plus there’s the “stretch in the evening”–sunlight until after 9pm. It’s amazing. But the flipside is that I didn’t apply sunblock carefully enough and got sunburned on my back! In Dublin! And also realized I brought about 2 short-sleeved shirts. Grandma Rose’s dress came to the rescue.
that is the prettiest lane ever!! I love that people are sitting out reading! no one even uses their beautiful balconies in New York or much here in L.A. either…Love nay-nay and yight! love peace and light to you all!!!
Just went to a meeting at my neighbor’s last night because we are getting ready for a street party. That reminds me of NYC–the block parties in East Williamsburg.
What a lovely shot. Real life: flowers, and feet sunning.
What a cute street. Love the different colours of the houses and the window boxes. Very pretty.
Thank you. The street sold it for us. A lot of the newer developments in Dublin make it seem like you could be living almost anywhere, so we feel lucky to have found this hidden lane.
