Back to reality after a week off work.
Sat & Sun of the bank holiday weekend, we headed to north Clare for Mrs Lao Lao's best friends 40th. A dozen of us in a huge rented house. The birthday girls boyfriend owns a food business so brought half of his stock with him. We ate and drank like kings for the two days.
From there, it was on to Cavan for a two day wedding in Virginia Park Lodge, where we yet again ate and drank like kings for two days.
Back in Dublin for a brief spell before heading south to Monart for a few days. I only got out of my robe for dinner on both days, full on Rancho Relaxo for the entire time.
On the 1st evening, we ate in the bar which is decent grub and a wine list which isn't too adventurous but is priced very well (most expensive bottle is €40 and everything seemed to be around double off sales price which is fair enough). Second day we ate in the main restaurant which had a slight old school/country feel to it (We were given a sorbet in between starter and mains and each main came with a side bowl of mash and veg). On the flip side, both starters (pumpkin ravioli and pork belly) and both mains (sea bass and fillet of beef) were extremely well cooked plus 2014 Meerlust was on the restaurant wine list for 70 quid a bottle - Keep it old school and country I reckon!! The restaurant wine list was very good. All the bar wines were on it (at the same price) and it went right up to 1989 Mouton Rothschild for a mere 1500 quid a bottle so something for everyone's budget.
Back in Dublin now and have just made out the weekly food shopping list. Feels a very long time since I had to plan what to eat rather than just having it served up to me!

I made a solid pitch for Wednesday & Friday as the office days, but Monday & Wednesday was a runaway winner.
I suppose the advantage of Monday is that public holidays mean we are off for about 8 of them anyway in any year.
Postponed for a few weeks, maybe til January.

To cut a long story short it one of the parties was a batshit cray cray woman who had been driving a very expensive BMW and spoke in a very polished accent. The case was being heard by Justice Pat McCartan who quickly figured out that her story of what had happened was an absolute fairytale that didn't stand up to the slightest scrutiny, after my barrister had her contradict herself a couple of times she started to get flustered and angry, Pat very judiciously stopped the barrister tried to help her find a way to dig out of the hole she was digging for herself. Instead of taking the help she got even more angry as her face went puce the posh tones evaporated and she roared straight at Pat in the broadest Dublin scanger accent "I'm telling Youse what I seen".
The barrister was struggling hard not to laugh couldn't make eye contact with Pat who was in shock, I pinched myself till I drew blood to keep from roaring laughing.Turning millions into thousands

SP proving hes down and hip . Cray Cray ? My niece puts that in her texts. Mainly talking about her mudder.
I'm from Drimnagh originally and the amount of different accents when I was growing up was cray cray . Obviously before the Polish invasion . We had Offaly neighbours who said Shag off a LOT shag this , shagging shag . Cracked me up. . I'd say a lot of culchies settled in the D12 area back then.

Someone I have seen for a couple of months sent we a message last night asking if I'd like to meet up, and I was talking to someone else as I was replying. Wanted to type "that would be lovely". I use the swipe method of texting. Let's just say it's quite easy to type "lonely" instead of "lovely" that way.

I'd recommend a complete switch in tone now to Saga. To see what the pure comic book form can be. Saga is gorgeous and brilliant. The Sandman also, by a young Neil Gaiman. Actually maybe The Sandman first.
But, yes, Maus, is so unbelievably moving."We're not f*cking Burundi" - Big Phil

have avoided going to the cinema for years as I don't really want to end up with a criminal record for beating some idiot to death with his phone for interrupting the movie. Went twice in the last few years both times early afternoon shows where there were a grand total of 6 and 2 other people there.
for shits and giggles I went searching today for information and found I can book an entire screen to myself for just €250 here. That includes 20 popcorn and soft drinks (which may be a tad excessive even for me...but never say never)
sure it's a lot of money but what price can you put on peaceful enjoyment on a big screen? Really thought it would be multiples of that tbh
