The Muppets have released a statement on the tragic passing of Tim Curry. “Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer, he was unparalleled – witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.”

Looks like rain, Ted 🫪 #urbanbeach #Limerick Btw, spent over 6 hours in town yesterday. Free show in the library, picnic and sand castles at the urban beach, ice-cream in 0'Connell Avenue, playground and tree climbing in People's Park. Great sleeps were had last night

These are the partial road closures, ( for 1 month only) , that have caused so much panic amongst a small number of traders in the #Limerick . Every route into the City is still open. LIMERICK CITY IS OPEN, for business, for entertainment, for relaxation, for #SummerintheCity

There have been a few tentative enquiries recently asking if the kitchen and set up needs to be perfect before I come. Absolutely not. In fact, that’s part of the day. We’ll cook together, but I’ll also throw in plenty of little pointers to make life easier, help organise your kitchen a bit better and, most importantly, build your confidence. You don’t need a huge kitchen or a fancy setup. We just work with what you’ve got. I’ll always bring along any bits I think we’ll need, so there’s no panic if you don’t have every gadget under the sun. And if you’re planning a kitchen redesign in the future you can pick my brains about layouts too. If you’re sound, keep reading………. there’s also the option of coming to me. We’ll spend the afternoon cooking in my kitchen and out on the BBQ, pick up a few new skills along the way, have a great day, and you’ll head home with dinner sorted for the family. I’m pretty flexible. As long as you’re nice and don’t mind a talkative cat wandering around looking for the odd treat, we’ll get on just fine. 🙂 Every experience is tailored around what you’d like to learn, so no two days are ever quite the same.
