When in Dublin...

By sheer coincidence, my brother is also in Dublin for business. 

He arrived into the city around lunchtime, so I said to the Minx that I'd just go and have a quick drink with him, and then come back to the hotel.

And I genuinely thought it would be quick as my brother had said that he would be meeting a colleague later on to prepare for their meeting tomorrow. 

However it turned out that he was quite content to settle in behind a couple of pints of Guinness, and then a couple more once his colleague, Rich, joined us. So, we had a pleasant and unexpectedly boozy afternoon. 

And in the evening, the three of us plus the Minx went out for an excellent Chinese meal at a place called Ka Shing, before enjoying a final Guinness.
