      I didn't go into Dunnes (queue was a 100 long at 7.30pm) but in Dealz Blanch to buy vape liquid and can confirm they have basic '5 pack of socks', '3 pack of jocks' that the likes of Penneys sell.

        Still need to keep up the pretentious london lifestyle, so we're having a bottomless brunch on Zoom @ 11am.

        Just have the avocodos resting, and the prosecco chilling.

        Going to be the strangest bank holiday weekend of my life.

                    Where are you sourcing your wild garlic from or is that a closely guarded secret?

                    Mrs Lao Lao has been banging on about making a wild garlic pesto for a few weeks now but no joy in finding any - Being kept to a 2km radius obvs doesn't help.

                    We've had to make do with the wild garlic pesto that they are selling in Forest Avenue which in reality is way better than we could ever make ourselves but she still wants to make her own.

                        wild garlic potato salad is yummy also.

                        a tip i got from someone a few years back is to make loads and freeze it in ice cube trays, so you can defrost just what you need every time

                                          Older sister's test is positive , honestly thought it would be, I was speaking to her yesterday and the cough she has and other symptoms didn't sound good.

                                          I assume now that all the patients who were tested at the care home where she works will also be Covid too.

                                          There was a PPE shortage there, supervisors moaning about whether they "needed" to change masks etc.

                                          Even though I was 99% sure it would come back positive it still hits you in the gut when it's confirmed.

                                            Yes, if you wouldn't mind letting me know the exact location, either here or by PM, that'd be great, thanks! It'll be a few weeks before we get back up to the Phoenix Park as it's outside the 2km zone for me.

                                            Ah, I was only half joking on the Forest Avenue. As the restaurant is closed, some of the chefs are still coming in and making stuff that they are selling as a green grocers. It's right around the corner from me so we've tried to support them a bit although we'd only get a few bits each week as it ain't bleedin cheap!

                                              If it aint fried, boiled, poached or has stuff inside it, its scrambled.

As the restaurant is closed, some of the chefs are still coming in and making stuff that they are selling as a green grocers. It's right around the corner from me so we've tried to support them a bit although we'd only get a few bits each week as it ain't bleedin cheap!
                                                  might not be worthwhile in a few weeks tbh. best time to get wild garlic is when they're very young, before the flowers start growing, so march/april . After that you can still grab them and they're still ok but they've lost a little flavor

                                                          There was a boy called Cillian De Gascun

                                                          Who did a line with Bibi Baskin

                                                          She was the teacher he was the student

                                                          The whole affair wasn't very prudent

                                                          Didnt hurt his studies as he finished top student

                                                                          btw Kish Fish do outstanding smoked haddock, havent tried their smoked cod yet. Its proper smoked, not just coloured and smoke flavour smeared into it like it would be in supermarkets, Kish goes through a proper smoking process. Better than restaurant quality.

Ill give you a pass only because you had completely forgotten it was good friday today and technically it will be tomorrow by the time you have your dinner so thats ok. But if you did it in good conscience thats another thing all together.

But its really a fascinating look into their lives. Ultimately and objectively its a car crash where everyone crashes, but the people themselves are living their lives in their way.

There was nothing in it I found particularly enriching anyway so I turned it off.
