Temple Bar Here We Come!!!

We have moved out of our sleepy little village of Ranelagh into the heart of it all. Temple Bar! We have a great one bed apaapartment now that has a full tub this time and is not off of the bedroom. We actually have room for guests to come over! I do miss our little place since my commute went from 20-25 minutes to 35-40 with the LUAS or 55-60 walking the whole way. It is usually nice in the mornings and since Tullia and I are now neighbors, we have been walking into to work nearly every morning and then walking home. Ben's commute gets a little longer, but when his office finishes their new buildng, he will be just minutes away from work. We have a cute little European deck that is about 4" deep that is great to get fresh air in. There are sliding doors between the bedroom and the living room which makes the whole place seem much bigger. I can now pace while I talk on the phone and make myself dizzy walking in circles. Well maybe if we get better reception since when I walk away from the windows we lose connection. The church bells of Christ Church sound lovely on Sunday morning, they sort of remind me of a Police song.... that I just cannot put my finger on. No sleeping in on Sundays for us!

Now if we could only get hot water into our building we will be sorted. 4-6 weeks without hot water or heating is ridiculous and makes for a long trek to the gym to take a shower. A cold shower in the morning certainly wakes you up, and makes me look forward to warming up on my 3 mile walk to work. We now have more room for guests and hopefully when my folks get here we will even have hot water for them!
