Mr Waffle did not have to work this weekend. I rejoiced. He suggested that we go to Emo Court today (part of our programme of gentle outings about an hour from Dublin).
We drove about an hour from Dublin. Were we delighted to find that Emo Court was closed for renovations? I can’t say that we were, but, look, we went for a walk around the lake and had a cup of tea in the Dower House. It could have been worse.
