Six Little Piggies

Mary Jo’s demonstration yesterday afternoon was very good, and a few of us were sad we had to duck out early to get in the cab and head into Cork. We missed the tasting, but enjoyed the demo, and listening to her take on the industry. Erin, Alexis, Max, Theresa, and I got into Cork just after 6:00, and found our way to Zamora. We had a lovely meal there, enjoyed a bit of wine and then wandered down to a place called Electric, which is a bar and restaurant. We had a few more drinks in there, chatted, and with very little persuasion were all in agreement to head back to Shanagarry via Ballycotton and a quick stop in at The Blackbird for one pint – ha. One day we will learn that "just one more pint" never means just one more pint. We got home just after 2:00, Alexis made fried eggs for everyone, and we were in bed by 3:30.

I had a lazy morning, which was so nice, although I felt guilty because it was beautiful out. Tim popped in to take us to see the piglets, they were born on Wednesday, they are so tiny and cute! Nicole and I went down to the greenhouse to go over the lettuces and herbs for the exam, but it was locked, sadly. Next weekend for sure. Later this afternoon we walked to Shanagarry Strand and walked along the beach and soaked up some sun. It was such a beautiful day, and very little wind, which is nice for a change. I could have spent hours down at the beach, and really wish we had packed a picnic and a blanket – next weekend maybe…

Mary took a few of us into Midelton for dinner tonight, I cannot remember the name of the restaurant for the life of me though. Now I am just relaxing before heading to bed… Week five starts tomorrow bright and early, I’m on salad and herb duty so I have to be in at 7:30. Will be great review for the exam!

“It’ll be grand, it’ll be grand.” – Mary Jo in a very Irish accent – these phrases really do rub off on a person

“Are you Irish now?” – Sorcha who was helping with the demo yesterday
