A DAY IN BRAY




I spent the day in Bray catching up with my brother John and his family.
I took the LUAS to Connolly Station (Dubliners still refer to it as Amiens Street Station) then rode the DART along the edge of Dublin Bay to Bray.

John picked me up in Bray. He had Ilir and Radu with him but Ilir hopped out to take the train into Dublin.

It was spitting rain. We went back to John's house to have lunch. Radu chatted the whole way back. He is such a neat kid. The last time I saw him was two years ago when he was up and walking but still very much a baby. Now, he has completed junior infants and will be going into senior infants in the Fall. He attends a Montessori school in Bray. Whatever they are doing there it is definitely working. He is bright and inquisitive.

We ate our lunch then headed back downtown to meet with Ligia at the clinic. Business has slowed a bit but they have maintained a solid client base that is helping to keep them going through the crisis. John showed me his new office space that he has built from a prefab garden shed. This space will free up floor space in the clinic and give him a place to do freelance work in his own profession while still keeping an eye on the backroom operations of a busy dental practice.
