Friday
Is this really Ireland? Another bright sunny morning. Clouded up in the afternoon, but it remained dry. Some brief comments today.
Renewed my Dingle Library card and checked out a couple of books. Reading one now about growing up in the 50’s and 60’s. That’s when I was growing up too, just across the ocean from Dingle.
The Farmer’s Market was a bust. Just three vendors, all selling crafts. Later in the morning we had a long chat with Marion, our landlord’s mother and our neighbor – she lives next door (maybe to keep an eye on the wild Americans in residence). She said the farmers won’t be out with their product until May, so maybe we’ll see some before we leave. Bought a AA battery to fix the kitchen clock. Previously had to buy a 2032 lithium battery to fix the remote for Seamus (our Toyota C-HR).
Had a walk into town in the morning. Quiet afternoon at home. Dingle was busy getting ready for Saturday’s bike race. Supposedly there will be 3,000 + participants.
Dinner was at Fenton’s which just reopened from the pandemic closedown. Great food. Oysters and lamb for me. Leek and potato soup followed by scallops for Elaine. Plus decadent desserts. After dinner we stopped at a busy O’Flaherty’s for some Irish beer and music.
Love all the comments! Keep ’em coming.

Shots from around town taken with my somewhat crippled but functional Canon G7X. Poor baby.
Great music session at O’Flaherty’s and you both look very happy and healthy. Must be the ocean air and great beer. John Benny’s also looks like a good spot for a few pints.
Sorry about the farmer’s market. Be careful you don’t get run over by one of those thousands of bikes!
Hope your sunny weather continues. Enjoy.
Must feel like you never left – wish we were with you at o’Flaherty’s – food never quits making us hungry ..wish we were there!! Did not realize you were that old – growing up in 50’s – also did not know you ever grew up!!
Great pics of you two, loving that Irish beer and oh so wonderful food in Dingle. Sorry about market but you’ll see lots of bikes soon! Pics are good Joe. Don’t give up on the Canon just yet. 50’s and 60’s I was just a wee one. Ann would definitely understand that time better!
