Unusually, perhaps, February was a sunny
month. On Saturday 17th Mary and I decided that
we would spend a day in Dublin, strolling around,
enjoying the crowds, going into the shops, having coffee and
lunch. We took the trip on the bus. It was very enjoyable as
we sped along, and the green fields and the grazing animals
spread out in a never-ending panorama.
We anticipated a pleasant day. But, as we entered the city
centre my head began to pound. I never suffered from
headaches, but this was totally debilitating. My head was
pounding so much that I was unable to walk very far. We went
into a cafe and sat there for an hour or so having coffee. I
tried to resume our walk down Henry Street, but was unable.
I spent the entire day in cafes, drinking coffee and feeling
unaccountably depressed. I looked forward to the departure
time for the bus, and gradually as we made our way home the
pain eased.
