Wonderful weekend

This weekend I packed a lot in starting with Friday night when I met up with my friend Tara and we went for a bite to eat in Baggot Street, and then SATURDAY!

 

First up Enid and I went to bikram at 10am.  It feels so good to be up and out on a Saturday morning!

That afternoon our friend Alice called to see me.  We had a nice lunch of ribs, corn on the cob and coleslaw - Southern "dirty" food :-)

Later, after Alice had gone, I cycled with Enid down to the Liffey (beside the Conference Centre) where she was going to a surprise party on a boat (the Cill Airne)

I left her there and cycled on home

How beautiful are these flowers from Alice?!

It was a lovely evening and I sat in my window, people watching and listening to records.

Studio with a view

Myself and Enid joined a new Bikram Yoga studio this week.  Dublin City Bikram is based in the heart of the city on Drury Street.

While the studio's facilities (the changing room) are very (VERY) small and pokey, the yoga studio itself is fine.  The one thing that I like about this studio compared to any other yoga studio I've been to is the view!

So great for the mind and body, doing yoga with this in your eye line.

Bikram Yoga is a challenging class made up of 26 poses performed in an intense hear of approx 105f.

This is me before the class started looking pretty cool and comfortable.

And this is me after.

Hot and sweaty!  But very happy.

Ps.  When Colin Farrell is at home in Dublin he practices Bikram - I will keep an eye out for him at the studio!
