Jazz Jizz Lingers On

The Jazz Festival is gone, Halloween has bid us adieu and our Big Wine Event is now a delicious memory. A couple of weeks on easy street to catch our breath before the big wind up towards the Holiday Season....or so it used to be. This year the Market has been unequivocally busy and lull-free. Even the Tuesday after the Jazz was wonderfully active, usually one of the more....relaxing days of the year.
Maybe the charms of our city wooed people into taking an extra day off before heading back to Dublin for more capital punishment, or wherever else they needed to be. Perhaps it's down to David McWilliams; all of us reverting to our new stereotype because he's only told us we've gone loo-laa for splashing the cash, eating and drinking so/too much.

Or it could be that for the first time we all remember just how crazy things get as the holidays approach and we just want to get an early start. Should the latter be the ultimate reason, I would like to commend all the Pope's children, siblings, cohorts and in-laws in their new found wisdom and planning. The thing is, we all know it's still going to be mennnntallllll!


Tasty aside - this week the Shop loves O’ Flynn’s Gourmet hot-dogs. A vast selction of pork (and other) sausages awaits from which to choose a tasty lunch or hearty snack. At the Chicken Inn, English Market.
