Choosing a title: I could call it 'The second Ten' but the logic of that would soon get lost.
Maybe 'Re-start 2 .... but actually I've done more 'restarts' than that!
I did put today's date in the Restart title (actually I didn't!), think I'll do another of that date.... sure I can always edit it if I come up with a more original title. Readers may make suggestions using the comment box below!

 Lauren took a picutre of me and Joey working on the setting up for taking pictures. You can just see the Pink Carmel shelves at the extreme right edge of the image. The rule is that if I am keeping anything, it has to go in one of these boxes. If I can fit in another box, that is OK, but it must fit on these shelves. We'll see how it works out.

Another library checkslip. Amazing Maurice worked, but not the others.

 Tony asking me about changed Airtricity password. Don't think there actually was a problem.

Handout prepared by Tony for Lay Dominican meeting, to suit the feast near the date.

Set of Genealogy print-outs. I gave them to Lauren and we had a very interesting chat about these ancestors of hers.

Packet of information from Child Safeguarding Office - I attended that Mass, and it was nice that Diarmuid Martin spotted me and said it was ages since he had seen me. I really like it that my Archbishop knows my face. I thought his own face looks a bit sad these days - maybe there's not enough enthusiasm in the diocese to keep his spirits up.

 Hymn sheet from Mass at Tony's 80th Birthday celebration. I had folded it up small to fit in my pocket.

List of Guest for Tony's 80th - amazing to look down the list and find that most of those named responded to his invitation.

Wrapper off cake that Tony brought (with 80th candles, matches and a knife) to the dinner we had with Oisin, Lisa, and Peter at the newly re-opened Glashaus Hotel.
