11 March 2009 - Hot Tasty Sausages
While out photowalking a hot sausages in a bun with a dab of mustard is just the thing to keep the hunger at bay. I bought the sausage in the bun being prepared above and totally enjoyed it, even if it was €4.
Shot on Cornmarket Street at the Crepe Man stall during the pre-Irish Blog Awards photowalk in Cork.
BTW there’s Kevin in the background!
8 March 2009 - Reading Glasses
A wide selection of reading glasses on sale in a stall on Cornmarket Street during the pre IBA photowalk a while back.
14 December 2008 - Doorstep
A doorstep next to the Bodega on Cornmarket Street Cork. Does anyone remember what building was here? It’s always been empty as long as I remember!
20 July 2008 - Guysal Ltd
Guysal Ltd must had an office on Cornmarket Street some time ago as the phone numbers above aren’t valid Cork numbers any more. Both should have a “4″ prefix now. This wall was exposed during the extensive construction work on the old Guy and Company building on that street.
Guysal Ltd are now in Ovens, Co. Cork.
6 July 2008 - Cock Pit Lane, Cork
I wouldn’t be surprised if you didn’t know where Cock Pit Lane was, or if you had never heard of it. It’s a small lane off Cornmarket Street, Cork.
I was fascinated by the slight change in meaning of the English and Irish names. The Irish name, “Lana Troid Coileach” literally means, “Cock Fight Lane”, a much less politically correct interpretation I’m sure you’ll agree. I don’t think the name changed in recent times because the only hit for this lane in Google is a PDF file listing O’Shea family members. Apparently William Shea, a publican, lived on Cock-Pit Lane in 1795. Pity there isn’t any more information.
This wasn’t shot yesterday at the photomeet, but I will be posting more of yesterday’s shots during the week!
12 January 2008 - Cables to the Heavens
Cables from a crane on the construction site at the old Guy & Company building in Cork.
17 July 2007 - The Apple Fiesta
Just goes to show, them Apple folks have their fingers in every pie.
They’re obviously going to buy Ford Motor Company. The owner of the Ford Fiesta this sticker was stuck on can obviously see the future.
Delivery people already have their white vans. It’s simply a matter of plastering them with an Apple logo.
The “Apple Transit” anyone?
30 April 2007 - Cornmarket Street commerce
Fruit and other produce are still sold on Cornmarket Street although it’s more commonly known as the Coal Quay.
23 April 2007 - The Color Kids
Two kids running along Cornmarket Street last August had a great time. I don’t think they were being chased by anyone so it was pure innocent fun!
Heading into the hospital again shortly. In between taking care of Adam with Jacinta I watched Kill Bill 2 on the Macbook which has become a glorified DVD player. I’m tempted to copy over some of my WP projects so my brain doesn’t turn to mush. I have three ideas for different plugins I’m trying to find time to code.
8 December 2006 - Post no bills
Post no bills on the wooden boards surrounding the building site on Cornmarket Street. The red brick wall is the front of the old Guy and Company building. It looks like the builders are going to incorporate that into their new building which is great – mixing old with new.
See map for location.
I followed Mike’s advice in his comment and bought a Wacom Graphire4 off Pixmania. Mynn’s post about his Volito2 Graphics Tablet sealed the deal, especially when he said that the “A6 working area is MORE THAN ENOUGH”. Hopefully it’ll be delivered early next week. I’ll ask Jacinta to open the box and verify that it’s in one piece but I’m not going to touch it before Christmas Day!
