Surimono and Ukuleles

Early swim at 8.30am today with my daughter.  Bray seafront was preparing for the sumo wrestlers 5k marathon in aid of local cancer charity Purple House, which I support.

Breakfast

Caught the bus into town (Dublin) to visit the Chester Beatty Library for the final day of Japanese Print Exhibition (it has been running since March) - Surimono (the Art of Friendship) - I am glad I made it as the prints are lovely.

Dublin centre was buzzing as the semi-final between Dublin and Tyrone was on today (GAA Football) in Croke Park .... the Dubs versus the countryboys, and the Dubs won - so a dream final between Dublin and Mayo in mid-September.

Then I lashed out to Dun Laoghaire to hear some ukulele music (www.ukulehooley.com). Wow Dun Laoghaire was fair buzzing.   Among some great acts was a jammimg session including the audience - many of whom had their own ukuleles.   My extra is from there.

I am home now - eating sweet'n'sour duck and watching dvd with my daughter.

A good day!
