Two years ago when I was in Dublin staying with Lianne we saw the movie In Brugges (right after we had returned from Brugges!). At the end of the film, the song version of the poem Raglan Road by the Irish band the Dubliners played. It was one of those songs that I loved instantly and it has been one of my favorite songs since. Well now after browsing youtube I've found a version by one of my favorite Irishmen, Glen Hansard. It's not as haunting as the version by The Dubliners, but it's pretty great. Ahh such an amazing song.
My quick to trip to Oxford was wonderful. I got to see my friends and had dinner in the Catz Hall. And last night I went to a birthday party at a super trendy place in Camden. But because I'm a 50 year old woman in the body of a 22 year old, I was in bed by one. Today I did some massive food shopping. I love Waitrose and I'm excited about the variety that I'm adding to this week's dinner menu. Now I have to read about the economics of public goods. FUN
