Last day housesitting in Westport Ireland

Between rain showers (but no rainbow) we made one last trip to the beach with Rooby.

The dog was our main responsibility and we've taken some 60 walks on the beach and in the woods. She is a lovely, lovely, loving animal.

We had about five heating glitches, two shower glitches and electrical challenges.

The plants have survived me, the mail has been collected, and the trash emptied.

It's been a wonderful experience with many rainbows, book store wanders, pub grub and Irish music.

Today we cleaned and made sure the Frigo has food for Rooby's people when they get back tomorrow.

Tomorrow we head for Dublin, to meet up with my Kid for a couple of days and then back to Southern France for the holidays.

Eventually we'll make it back to Geneva.

Will we housesit again?

I hope so.

I know some people go from housesit to housesit and thus avoid the rent/mortgage trap. Not sure we're ready for that yet but getting a chance to live in a different place is truly a holiday gift before the holiday.
