Am not a big expert in GAA, but you don’t have to, to know that Cork’s performance this afternoon was shameful. They were there on the field today, but that was literally the only positive thing there is to say. When they were six points behind of Kerry, there maybe still was a little hope they could catch up, but after a Kerry goal and so 12 points behind the whole match turned into an exhibition game by Kerry on how Gaelic football is supposed to be played. An anti-climax of this year’s football season for Cork. All Corks hope now on the hurling team. They fortunately did make it to the All Ireland finale. Looking forward to that in two weeks.
The weekend is nearly over again. A good one. With another great Luka show. Got on the guest list. Sirius Arts Centre in Cobh is a great venue. It was like a big sitting room. With windows on two sides of the room. View on the harbour. Seeing the sunset on the background. The sky first turning pink, after that beautiful blue and eventually black. Luka played some great songs, he didn’t perform live for a long time. Lonesome Robin, Love is a place I dream of, a new song about the IRA declaration and my all time favourite Exploring the Blue…The atmosphere was great. The audience was completely into it. After the concert we went for a quick drink before taking the train back to Cork city. The train turned out to be a bus at the end. Some technical problems. Back in town around twelve. Mia, a Finnish ex-housemate was spending her last night in Cork so we went out for a drink in An Brog. Must be so weird, to leave Cork after living here for eight months. Made us realise how quick time is going. Am definitely not looking forward to the day I have to leave as well. Cork is just such a great place to live. Feel really at home here. Can actually not believe I’m already six and a half months in Ireland. Have the feeling it was only a couple of weeks.
