Glitter belles, glitter belles...

Glitter, all the way. 

Sparkly dresses and uncomfortable shoes aplenty, it must be Christmas in Dublin! 

Mrs Raheny and I celebrated our 12th anniversary by going for an Indian in Dun Laoghaire and then Darting it into town (1 stop in Blackrock) for Jerry Fish and the Electric Sideshow. 

It seemed appropriate since I proposed to her at a Jerry Fish concert more than 12 years ago. 

And no, it was nothing to do with the fact that she was 6 months pregnant and I had caught her dad polishing his 12-gauge shotgun. It was the magic of the moment that prompted me to pop the question.
