โ๏ธ Shortly heading out to meet a local friend for some coffee, catching-up and inevitable discussions about the state of the world. Looking forward to seeing him. I always learn a lot, and leave our chats with a face sore from laughing.
Also: trying a new (to me) coffee place here in Dublin.
๐ฎ๐ช When in Rome…
It’s crucial to enjoy a Guinness when back home in Dublin. It’s practically the law!

๐ฝ๏ธ Busy preparing dinner, then the next episode of ‘Agatha All Along’. Tonight’s feast: homemade roasted vegetables, some humous, and a two-people helping of falafels. I’m using my weekend trip as an excuse to eat all the perishable (lovely) things in the fridge.
Such a good, sensible boy.

๐ฅ That moment when you open the fridge and realise you still have last night’s delicious leftovers available for lunch. Few things come close.

๐ธ I had a vegan friend over for dinner last night, so I obviously had to prepare something appropriate.
And this passed, with flying colours, apparently! Veggie fritters, slow roasted peppers and aubergine, garlic courgette and a side salad (which he brought along). We ate very well indeed.

๐ Found a fab little ramen place minutes from my hotel. Had a delicious bowl of Tonkotsu ramen and a heaping dish of Takoyaki ๐

๐ฝ๏ธ I am full of delicious roast chicken. There’s nothing like the roast dinner your own mother makes for you!
๐ถ๏ธ Cooking up a big pot of my chilli con carne for this evening’s dinner. It’s been a while since I made it and we both fancied something spicy!
๐ธ Enjoying a delicious Erdinger alcohol-free beer out on the balcony this evening.
๐ธ Sitting down to order an early (by Spanish standards) dinner. But first, a bottle of this delicious alcohol-free beer. One of my favourites.
๐ธ Enjoying this sunset with a pornstar martini ๐ธ
๐ธ Decided on an al fresco lunch today, trying a new restaurant here in Canary Wharf: Oysteria.
๐บ It appears to be beer oโclock once again. Doing a little bit of work while I sipโฆ
๐บ Itโs 30C and itโs beer oโclock. These things may or may not be related. Cheers!
๐ธ Just been for a pint at the Munich Cricket Club, enjoying the evening sunshine over West India Quay.
๐ธ Brunch out on the balcony today. Smoked salmon and cream cheese on bagels ๐ฅฏ
๐ Enjoyed some phenomenal pizza and delicious beer at Crate Brewery last night. 10/10 would recommend.
๐ธ We enjoyed a bite or two last night. The most delicious prawns and some very pungent chorizo!
๐ซ Took part in some market research earlier in the week and just received a massive box from Hotel Chocolate as a thank you.
A perfect start to the weekend!
๐ถ๏ธ So glad I made a massive vat of chilli last night. It kept me going for hours while watching the election coverage, and today I can have delicious leftovers for lunch. ๐
๐พ๐ฅ Just a light bite for brunch this Sunday morning. Out of shot: mimosas.
๐บ Enjoyed a few hours wandering down the Bermondsey Beer Mile, sampling delicious beers and enjoying the sporadic sunshine.
I may have put too much red onion in my salad this evening… โข๏ธ
โ๏ธ Another glorious day in Tallinn.
So far, I’ve visited a naval museum, explored a submarine (yes, really!), pretended to be a sailor (and an admiral, obviously), visited a micro-brewery, tasted some more delicious Estonian beers, boarded an icebreaker, bought a brewery-themed baseball cap and explored a monument to Soviet ineptitude.
And all before 5pm.
Now back at our hotel for some free drinks and nibbles. A plan for the evening has yet to form, but I know we’ll get there in the end.
Europeans! You must visit Tallinn. It’s amazing.
๐ธ Went to the brewery, drank the beer, bought the cap!
๐ธ Our bar here is a converted train carriage. Very cool! Soaking up the sunshine, but keeping hydrated too ๐
๐บ Enjoying a delicious IPA at Pลhjala Brewery and Taproom in Tallinn. Could spend the night whole afternoon here. The selection of beers is incredible.
๐ธ Exploring Tallinn is thirsty work!
