The whale-watching was called off because of strong winds unfortunately; went for a walk on the beach instead and sampled some Murphy's in the pub later.

Spent three restful days in Ireland; the weather wasn't great, unlike yesterday when we finally got round to seeing Antony Gormley's now permanent installation 'Other Place' on Crosby beach in Liverpool. It was a gorgeous, sunny day, in fact not the best time to view the statues, or so I've been told; apparently they look their best in the rain. There's one of the hundred below!



Off to Scarborough to see the family tomorrow, probably walking in the Lakes again at the weekend, depends on the weather. Liverpool-Arsenal on Sunday.
