Eating
- An enormous serve of bangers'n'mash and a nourishing pint of Kilkenny at the Town Hall one dismal Tuesday evening.

- Generous piles of fried food with oodles of chillies and sichuan peppercorns at Sichuan House
- Succulent suckling pig at Liberteene.

I wouldn’t let him wander around Gertrude Street. I mean, any crazy passer by could pat him, talk to him, take photos of him and post them on a blog, plan play-dates with her own cats…
