Walking home from the workshop today, I saw a stork sitting out by one of the canals in Dublin.
Nothing too special… but still. Special enough to make a note of, in my opinion. Keeping to the theme; the little things in life are worthy of note, even if they’re just a cool looking bird, preening itself by the water.

I absolutely adore the views from our Dublin apartment.
Seriously – they’re amazing. We’re overlooking the Liberties, facing mostly North with a little bit of East thrown in for good measure. But, thanks to Ireland’s location on the globe, we still get some incredible sunsets… having the Guinness Brewery right in line with the sunset doesn’t hurt their beauty, either.
It’s not every evening that we get a photo-worthy sunset, of course. It’s not even most evenings. But those evenings that we do? Well. We both make a point to stop and enjoy them.
And Ireland’s high Latitude also helps for something else: Noctilucent Clouds.
They aren’t something I’d heard about before moving to Dublin, but now that I’ve seen them I’m constantly on the lookout – I’m still waiting for my chance to see the Aurora, but I’ll happily console myself with having yet another opportunity to see such a beautiful sight…

The specific day doesn’t really matter, does it? Instead, what matters is the consistency. Good cooking. Healthy (vaguely) meals, and positive memories. Time spent in the kitchen, enjoying the process (though maybe being stressed during that short point when everything needs to happen all at once), and having something delicious to share and show off when it’s all over?
Yeah… I like cooking.
