Recent life: A Round up

Like I said yesterday, it’s been a busy couple of weeks (I’ve been using the bananas emoji a lot) so I thought I would do another quick round up, as much to remind myself of what’s been going down as anything else!

• If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen that Ben and I got a car! We’ve been planning it for a while, and it’s something I thought about every time I lugged my camera bag onto the DART or bus. It’s the first time I’ve ever owned a car, and I’m totally in love with it. I still have to learn how to drive (heck, I still have to sit my theory test), and we’ve already got a pretty long list of the places we want to go to now that we have wheels. Expect a post of my day trip wishlist any day now.
• I went to see The Martian recently. After devouring the book over a couple of days, it was great to jump right into the film. It’s been described as “Castaway meets Apollo 13” (yet weirdly, doesn’t feature Tom Hanks). I’d really recommend it.
• I’m back training with the wonderful Liz. After a hectic summer of travel for the two of us, during which I may or may not have strayed off my clean and colourful path, Ben and I are back at it now. There we are above, happy and sweaty after a Sunday morning run in Phoenix Park. (No regrets about treating ourselves to an evening in Wow Burger a few weeks ago though.)
• I’ve had some really fun nights out recently (including this awesome Jagged Little Pill singalong), but last Thursday’s Dublin Design Night, which we at Image Interiors & Living co-hosted with Yelp, was a particular highlight. I took tons of pics, which you can see over on image.ie.
