I did some amount of driving last week (but I think shelly beats me with 2 return trips to Dublin and a return trip to Belfast!). I filled up in Limerick and put close to 50 euros into the tank – the pump cut out so I knew I had a full tank (60 litres). The nice thing about driving long distances with empty roads is one can managed to drive over 770kms on a tank! The almera seems pretty economical.
Driving back from Belfast we called into Monaghan to see Connie and family. Mrs Connolly provided sustenance after we came back from touring Connies mansion on the hill. The dinner was much appreciated, we were getting very hungry – it took some time to see all the rooms in the house!! Then came tasty desert – pavlova – up to it’s usual high standard. After eating the entire pavlova and a couple of slices of apple tart on the side Shelly and I hit the road for Limerick absolutely stuffed. Until the next pavlova – thanks!
I’ve noticed in Portumna the price of petrol has fallen below the 1euro mark to 99.9 – great to see prices fall now-and-again.
oh, how I miss that pavlova. And petrol is one of the few things that is significantly cheaper here, around €1.16 in Berlin
Sorry Joe,
Petrol has dropped to €1.05
was that the actual pavlova?
no.. it was nicer than the one pictured!
oh don’t know about that – but know Mammy Connolly would appreciate your comments
