Dublin had its annual zombie apocalypse yesterday with thousands of zombies escaping St Stephens Green and making it as far as Temple Bar before being contained.

Lavender
We were down in Clonmel last weekend and visited a shopping center outside the town which appears to have planted lavender flowers (these are lavender aren’t they?) all around the car park and on the dividers between rows of spaces. When in full flower it made a drab car park much nicer with a sea of colour, maybe some other car parks especially around where I live in Dublin could follow their lead.
Blog Update
I had to update my wordpress installation and database so I took the opportunity to also update the blog appearance theme. I got a bit bored of the black one which had served me well for years and I found the Rustic theme online. I tweaked it to use picture of my brownie camera instead of the original trees, darkened the background a bit and updated some of the php so the archives would display full posts with images. Hopefully I havent broken anything but if I have please let me know.
Beau Brownie
I went shopping for some last additions to Laurens birthday presents and stopped in the antique shops in Powerscourt Shopping Center. I got distracted by a collection of cameras and picked up a present for myself as well, a Beau Brownie from around 1930. It may not be in perfect shape but it still works and came with a bag and original instructions so I’m pretty happy with it. It takes 120mm film which I have a few rolls of so I’ll have to test it out and I’m half tempted to bring it to my wedding and see what cool photos I can get.
