178/365 Stuck in traffic
27th June
On way home traffic was diverted down a country road because of a fatal car crash. I was disturbed to find out later that the poor girl had been in the ditch dead for a number of hours without anyone realising she was missing. May she RIP.

175/365 College days and study days
24th June
I attended a study day which was very interesting. I then drove at a snails pace home from Galway as the rain was heavy non-stop for my journey. Very annoying when the roads are so good and you just want to get home to wine and my husband (poor husband but that night the red wine was my no.1!).

174/365 Pink food
23rd June
I went to Nimo's restaurant in Spanish Arch, Galway city for a committee meeting for an advisory group I am on prior to the study day we were running the next day. I was so glad when someone else took a picture of the food so I could take one too (I didn't know the people that well). The food was fab and the strong pink colour was a beetroot sauce.

173/365 Samuel Beckett Bridge
22nd June
I love this bridge! It shaved off 5 mins driving for me when I lived in Ballsbridge but I love the way it looks like a sail or a harp on its side.

My nanny bought this raccoon for me when we brought her to the zoo 3 years ago. We brought her last year too. She loved it and meerkats are her favourite animal so the meerkat restaurant was particularly enjoyable for her. The meerkat teddies weren't as cute though.
