Loaves & Fishes

Typical. Just typical. I didn't bother go to the airshow in Salthill because there wasn't much advertised, so it didn't seem to be worth the hassle. And then the Red Arrows show up. The place was chomh dubh le daoine. The Connacht Tribune describes how one happy retailer reaction to the crowds.


I've never seen such a day in nearly fifty years in Salthill...I wouldn't say there was a sausage or rasher left in Salthill by the end of the day. The only mistake we made was that we only had five 'buttering' and putting the fillings in the rolls...we should have prepared them the night before, but we had plenty of food for them all.


Contrary to rumours, the Galway Film Festival hasn't been arranged just to enable Colin Farrell to shag women from the west (he's quite capable of doing that on his own). Apparently, they'll be showing a few fillums too. Starts tonight.

'Twas indeed a mighty day (even the result of the match didn't put a damper on it). And it was great the way the clouds cleared just in time for the awesome display by the Red Arrows. Re. the fleadh - I've just realised I've already missed the only film that really interested me (the Lucas Moodysson one). There really is too much going on in this town in July.
