Deck the halls...

a festive filled weekend! Took a half day from work on Friday and went for lunch in the city with the Mister. We then took a stroll around the shops, which he wasn't impressed with and then over to the Christmas markets on Grand Parade. They had some lovely stuff over there, unique even. Couldn't get any pictures as it was pishing rain but we did get some adorable cupcakes which were devoured when I got home by everyone else but me!! :/ Saturday was spent putting up the tree and decorating the house for the festive season, I've mulled wine scented candles all over the place!! Myself and the Mister then decided to go for ONE early festive drink in a local bar at about 5pm...that turned into us falling out of the pub at half 9 a bit tipsy! We then took a drunken stroll to Supermacs and Xtra Vision where I attempted to argue with the guy for selling us a dvd at a higher cost than what it was advertised for, bloody cheek!! All in the name of festive fun though!

The Christmas Fairy

Santas Grotto..kinda!

Kellys Bar,perfect for a Christmas tipple

One of many mulled wine scented candles!

On a not so happy note though, I was helping the guards with the search for young guy missing form the Cork area on Friday night. I was called into the office to give them access to them CCTV for them to see the last few images of the guy. There was lots of people out searching and have been all weekend. Although it involved a Garda escort through the city (and me thinking I might not arrive at my destination in one piece), which everyone wants to try sometime, it was all in very sad circumstances. Last update I heard was he hasn't been found so if anyone has any info on the where abouts of Caolan Mulrooney please Contact Angelsea Street garda station on 021 4522000. Lets hope hes found soon and safe and my thoughts are with his family.x
