So today was awesome! I didn’t have to lie down for a lunchtime nap cause we were on a day trip in Howth. We took our time heading off and then I had a little sleep in the car on the way over. When I woke up we had a little walk around but I wasn’t that much into the whole nature thing, but liked the look of the sea below us. So we went back to the car and down to the harbour to be closer to that and when we got there around 11.30 there was lots happening; there were seagulls everywhere! Mommy told me that the fish had been brought in early in the morning and had now been processed so there were boxes of the leftovers standing around being put into a truck. The seagulls wanted their share and were going mad fighting over the stuff and letting us get real close cause they didn’t care cause they were hungry. We watched them for a good while and then went up the pier where we saw a real sea lion in the water! Also lots of poo-poo from the seagulls on the ground everywhere as I kept pointing out to mum.
29.07.
Then it was lunchtime and we went to a nice seafood restaurant where mommy and I shared a seafood chowder to start with. I let her have all the veg and ate loads of fish! Daddy would be proud of me! I was really well behaved at the beginning but later got pretty tired. My main course was yummy steamed salmon and nice mash, but I wanted mommy’s food instead. Well I mean, she didn’t really think she could give me that and then order loads of fried stuff for herself! She even had a dip so there was no way I was having my boring food. Healthy my ass, gimme the good stuff!
There was no changing facility so we just washed hands and mommy changed me in the car. She is getting a bit tired of dealing with everything on her own because I am still pretty high maintenance, but tomorrow night daddy will get here. She keeps taking pictures of me to send to him and then I want to see pictures of daddy in turn.
So with a fresh nappy on, mummy put me in the car seat and drove around for a while till I fell asleep. She had a rest in the front seat and when I woke up we went to have ice cream for tea. I had pineapple but half way through took mommy’s chocolate off her and told her she could have my pineapple, but she didn’t want it. But she doesn’t mind, honestly!
Then we went to the train station to take a train. We had to wait for AGES and I entertained myself by walking to the end of the platform with her. From there we could see the sea and I decided I would prefer going to the beach to going on the train. We can do that some other day when the weather isn’t so nice. We actually saw the sun a few times today! Mommy was a bit mad because she had checked out the forecast specially and was told it would rain a tiny bit around lunchtime and the rest of the day was gonna be cloudy. Instead it was raining all morning and mommy brought loads of clothes to change into cause she brought no rain gear over for me. I mean come on mommy, seriously???!!! No rain gear in Ireland????!!!! Anyways, in the end it was dry after 10.30 and we got to do everything we wanted to. Mommy did need the change of clothes though, cause at the beach I got myself all wet and mucky. It was great fun and mommy promised we would go to the beach again with daddy.
Back home I ate ok and went to sleep straight away so mommy was very happy!
