In the future we won’t talk at all
We just tap tap tap on the screens to order. The man watching me take the photo never said a word either. It was Halloween, did you notice the horns on her head?
Prepping for a 70th birthday
Two women carrying balloons and a large fake champagne bottle up the steps of a narrow lane. Bet they had a party that night!
Place your bets at the races
I’ve only been to a few point to point or other horse races, but you can rely on there being bookies present to take your money.
A doggy resting in the shade
A Jack Russell lying in the shade at the recent Dawstown Point-to-Point horse racing. It was warm, and the sun was bright, so he made a beeline for the shade afforded by his human dad standing nearby.
The Horse in the box
On the day before the Dingle Races I saw a horse looking out of a horse box. His owner had gone into the nearby petrol station and came back a few minutes later.
A day at the races
A man sitting on a box at the Dingle races in 2022. The weather was lovely, it was a great day to be out!
Global Warning
I’m not quite sure what to say about this man and his “Global War n ing” sign. I’ve talked to him a few times as he’s stood at the same spot most Saturdays for the last few years. All I know, is he’s a crack pot conspiracy theorist.
Construction of the Camden Quay Hotel
The old site of the hotel on Camden Quay is being redeveloped. It’s gone through many phases over the years, and it’s soon to be a 3 star hotel.
The Shein Lines
A Shein popup shop opened in Opera Lane recently. It’s only open for a short time and huge lines of people have gathered waiting to get in there.
Plants grow everywhere
Near the top of Patrick’s Hill in Cork I spotted these plants growing from the gutter of a building. Good thing plants don’t have a fear of heights because there was a large drop from there. 🙂
Sailing past Roches Point
A sailing boat sails past Roche’s Point Lighthouse at the mouth of Cork Harbour. It was a lovely August evening last year. The days were long and the sun was shining!
Morley’s Hire
If you need to hire a suit in Cork, then Morley’s might be one place you’ll go to. I saw their building across Daunt Square in McDonald’s and I liked how the window and furniture framed it.
