A rare occurrence last weekend: off work. Had almost forgotten that Cork exists on a Sunday as well as the rest of the week.

I made the most of my free time by taking a stroll around town, ducking in and out of the showers as I went. I eventually turned towards the Marina for reasons completely unconnected with the Cortado Coffee stop (though why more coffee trucks don’t sell bars of chocolate, well, maybe someone should write a column about that).
