New technology

A lazy, lazy day.

After a bit of TV and a bite of breakfast in Carl's place I made my way home around 12.00 noon. Being the August bank holiday, the Dublin City Marathon was on today and I was prepared for traffic disruption on the way home. As it turned out, apart from a slight hold-up at Merrion Gates, it wasn't a problem (I'd checked road closures before leaving Carl's and the winner - from Kenya, of course - was already known at that stage).

I suppose it had been a hectic weekend, what with Chew & Chat on Friday night, the music session and wedding reminiscing on Saturday, and yesterday's afternoon meeting with our friend Dave, but all in all I wouldn't think of this as being particularly exhausting. And yet, I felt quite tired when I got home and ended up doing next to nothing all day.

Feeling guilty towards evening I went for a bit of a walk, and that's when I spotted that Dublin Bus have treated themselves to a bit of new technology. This arrivals display has been installed at the bus stop I use when getting a bus in to town. The system is on test right now, so we'll need to wait and see how effective and accurate it turns out to be.
