We’re getting ready.
You may think the end of February is a long way away, but there’s a conference to be organised for Rare Disease Day 2013. In Dublin.
You know what that means? A day trip. Train (with compulsory Danish pastry). Taxi. Venue. Meeting.
There was a dip in proceedings where Auntie Sadie* and I got a bit angst ridden (not just because of her jumper shedding green fluff all over the nation’s capital), but we had a very effective revival strategy.
Restorative browsing- feeling a bit like country bumpkins up in the big smoke for the day, fondling items we could never afford to buy, and taking pics in the fancy shop.
Before the train home, a chance to put the world to rights with a glass of something chilled.
Conference organising 101- get pen, paper and a glass of wine. Make everyone do it your way.

*not a real aunt- I’m old enough to be her mother- but a super organising guru. And fun, with it.
I find those silver shoes a little disconcerting….
I can’t imagine them actually being worn! Amazing to look at
All photos great – third far and away greatest – see you looking good.
Auntie Sadie was just glad to see me smile…
Oooo, please tell about the blocks in the background of that scary shoe. Some patterns look like runes, some like cuneiform. I know, I know, they’re just advertising glitter…. oh well, the artist has an eye….
There was a significant section of the shoe bit done up like that. Mr Laboutin seems to like the shapes
I had to look up Mr Laboutin. <:-D
Great shop. The shoes are to-die-for. The bag audacious. The blonde in that last pic: clearly a power-luncher.
She works best with wine, that one
I do think your ipad is just missing a Prada case like that- maybe you should put it on the Christmas list?
When I win the lottery
Looking great, Fiona. I think those shoes could be used as weapons in a murder, though.
Killer shoes. Sigh! I’ll not complain, at least I can walk again, unaided by crutches. Were you trying to make me homesick for a walk through the City of my birth!
OMG – those glitzy shoes!!!! If only I could manage to walk in shoes like that!! (Or, indeed, had money to buy them!!)
I’m so glad I went back to see what I missed…great photos of a great smile! Lots of fun…and at least window shopping doesn’t cost us anything!
