Sheās no fool though, she knows that if I hit the market without her Iāll come home about 60 euros light with about a kilo of various luxury items and confectionary. Iāll just be very nice in the morning, offer her a lie in and all that, then around 11 Iāll mention that I was thinking of heading into the market for a quick stroll with a couple of the kids, I saw on the internet that there was extra stalls there today and I just wanted to have a look, sheāll say not to spend too much, Iāll say of course I wonāt, just what we need. Then a couple of hours later Iām home and leaving things stashed in the car until I can judge her form.
Julio Geordio seems to think itās an extra special Saturday market so thatās good enough for me.
Sheās lucky to have you. You could be out drinking and fighting and gambling or whooring etc but your vices are simply going to the market of a Saturday morning and of course that addiction to buying sneakers.
She stuck with me when I was one of those losers who smoked dope morning noon and night and pissed it up all weekend, itās true that since the kids outnumbered us my vices have become a bit more sedate, Iāll be out for pints over the weekend alright though, probably even see the upstairs of Costelloes for the first time since before Christmas.
Just back from river fest. I had been in at the market first getting my stuff and then dropped them back to the car before proceeding to the river fest unencumbered by bags. I got a pint of Erdinger to start things off from a stall and drank it at these benches theyād laid out.
I wandered over then to the BBQ competition. There were mostly pubs/restaurants ācompetingā but also the likes of the army, the Limerick post and Limerickās live 95fm had stalls. Liam Ahern was there for the latter named crowd flipping burgers but I didnāt queue for anything there. Everything was free but some of the stalls youād to stand patiently in a queue. All in all I consumed three burgers, a chicken breast, chicken skewer, sausage in a roll thing and a pork belly on sour dough bread from the French table restaurants stall. The army had chili con carne but I didnāt like the look of them. I was fairly well stuffed after all the food and returned to the drinking area for a second pint of Erdinger before driving on home. Picture below is of the best burger I had which was from the Red Henās stall. Were you in there @backinatracksuit? There was a beautiful ambience in and around there as the sun appeared and the people of Limerick gathered in force there.
