New license

I had to get a replacement driver's license because my old one went once too often through the washing machine. (When will we ever get a credit card sized license?) Anyway, I sent off the form, the fee and the photographs and got the license back in no time.

I know it's easy to argue that it should always be like that, but we all know that there are some public services that take forever to complete the simple tasks. I'm impressed at how efficient Wicklow County Council was processing my license.

N11 shut down

Not nearly as bad as I first heard (feared). The road will close at 8:00 Saturday night and reopen on Sunday at 2pm. Still, I will not imagine that getting anywhere will be possible Saturday evening or Sunday morning. We'll be in lock-down.
