Oratory

Not a pleasant day with the weather. We've been spoiled rotten with all the dry, sunny, mild days that kept on following one another for the past several weeks, so a drop on temperature and change to overcast and sometimes even wet conditions is a bit of a comedown -- which was all the more reason to stay inside and spend some more quality time with my new toy, which is exactly what I did.

Still, I couldn't stay in all the time, and I did need a bit of a walk, bad weather or not (I've been feeling guilty lately because of not walking as much as I should do), so I wrapped up cosily and did a round-the-block trek up the Malahide Road to Beaumont Road, stopping off at the T-place and continuing the square the circle and get back home, rather damp and miserable just over an hour later. On the way I stopped off at the little oratory beside the shopping centre. I didn't expect anyone to be there at that time of the day (even allowing for its being a Sunday) and had planned a bit of a leisurely blip wander around the interior. As it happened a Rosary group was ensconced in the back rows of seating. I didn't want to disturb them or appear disrespectful, so I stuck to the entrance area and took a couple of rather poor shots, of which this was the best.

Back home, a nice warm bowl of soup did wonders, then it was back to more music listening, some internet exploration on Denon forums (fora?), and then I settled down to watch a film on BBC Three. It was Flame & Citron, a wonderful Danish film about the Resistance movement in Copenhagen during WWII. Terrific stuff, and all the more involving because none of the actors was familiar.
