Leg for sale

It was good to be out and about the camera again. The occasion was a trip in to town to search for a birthday present. That done, I spent a pleasant couple of hours in Stephen's Green, and around Grafton Street and Temple Bar.

This brick-a-brack shop was on South William Street. It was the false leg which caught my eye. I don't think I'd fancy buying that, no matter how desperate I was.

By the time I'd finished clicking I'd caught myself in the evening rush hour. I was a bit hungry anyway, so I stopped off at the Bad Ass Café in Temple Bar for a bite while the traffic sorted itself out. It's changed. Utterly! Not nearly as characterful, with loud music blaring away all the time, ridiculously overpriced drink (I was given a drinks menu which had no prices on it, and it was the waitress who warned me off, telling me a pint of beer would set me back €6.50).

I just had a bowl of soup and stuffed porcini mushroom. The soup was okay, but the mushroom was pretty dreadful. Guess who won't be going back to the Bad Ass Café.
