A few weeks ago, I heartily urged you all to attend the Dublin Open House event and take a look at some of the best examples of new residential design in this fine City. So hearty were my urgings that I almost couldn’t get a spot on the house tours myself. A couple of cancellations later, and some fancy footwork by the lovely Dympna and Annette at the Open House booking office, and I was back on track.
On Sunday afternoon with a skip in my step, I grabbed my camera and headed across the river into deepest, darkest Southside Dublin.
Imagine my delight when wandering inside FKL’s ‘A-Rated House’ to catch the light falling across the staircase just so! To capture the dapple of the lengthening shadows on Taka’s ‘House 1 & House 2′ modelled brick facade!
So giddy was I in anticipation of architectural splendour, so ardent in my pursuit of delectable design, the fact that I had removed the memory card from my camera to download the latest client house pics earlier that week went entirely un-noticed. D’oh, indeed.
But no matter, I hear you cry (for my tale of woe has moved you to your wobbly core) – modern digital cameras have built in memory that stores your pics without need of a separate memory card!
Bless your tender hearts. After all, how could you know? About that fateful day, months before – an over-stuffed bag, the USB cable, the pierced foil of a bumper size pot of yoghurt.
Probiotic.
Fear not – there is, I am glad to say, a happy ending. Even as I type, Pixmania’s trusty steeds are hurtling a new USB camera cable to living:room’s door and those Open House pictorial masterpieces will shortly be available for your viewing pleasure.
Watch this space.
