I have no idea when I took this picture, but it looks nice and sunny so I thought I’d post it. Behold, Áras an Uachtaráin or the home of the President of Ireland. It seems that the public can enter it each Saturday so maybe I’ll have to look into that.
This house sits in the [...]

Chronically Fatigued is ME has been updated for the final time.
