A Sunny Day in Dingle

Two sunny days in a row--yeah!  Yesterday we did a short walk, about three streets around Dingle.  We popped into the Bakery, Dingle Crystal, the Weavers shoppe, Foxy Johns (warmest building in town) and the bank.  But the best find was the Dingle Library.  We walked into the warm building and asked if we could borrow books.  Of course, the woman said, just fill out these cards.  All they wanted was our name, local address and signature.  We both got books,.  It was a lovely day.


We ate a fresh scone and microwave popcorn for lunch and then finished off our leftovers for dinner,  Did laundry but after 1 and 1/2 hours running, I got out the manual and proceeded to turn the knob to rince, drain and spin.  The drying was about the same.  This morning we had trouble with the heat and had to ask the Garveys for help with that and I also asked about the washing machine.  "OH, that's how long it takes on that setting," Joan said.
She showed me a setting that only takes 45 minutes.  We met Mr. Garvey, Tom, today.  He was just going to milk their 36 cows but he came to the cottage to help us.  If a coin gets stuck again we should, put another coin behind it and shove it in with a knife.  Very clear directions.  Tom looks like a dairy farmer.  I'll try to get a photo of him.  Very Irish looking,

We followed a bus half way around the Slea Head Drive and got some good photos.  We stopped at a pottery barn, gallery(closed) and golf course(closed).  At one stop we talked with two bikers from Romania who have gone 20,000K since last November and will finish their  journey in September.  They have just finished university.  One is an engineer and the other a tour guide.  I cannot ever imagine doing that but they hope to write a book about their adventure.

We took a shortcut back to Dingle and headed straight to this Internet cafe to get some news from America.  Nothing on the TV but 3 channels and 5 minutes of news at 7,9 and 10.  Where is CNN when you need it.

Bye for now.
