Former RTÉ presenter Alf McCarthy dies aged 73 rte.ie/news/munster/2… via RTÉ. Sad news to wake up to today.

An appropriate musical tribute right now to our old pal Alf McCarthy on RTE Late Date Cathal Murray. Always encouraging, generous and fun. Will miss Alf's quirky Facebook posts and the prospect of that promised coffee.

Does Michael McGrath realise the implications of what he has sanctioned in reinstating the higher rate of VAT in the #hospitality business. I just had coffee in a wonderful cafe in Cork where owners are visibly stressed out by increase in min wage too. #Smallbusinessesneedhelp.

Brunch with the indefatigable ⁦Ethel Crowley⁩ catching up on her exploits since the launch of her book on the writings of Dervla Murphy At Full Tilt. A treat for summer birthdays.

Take a look on line Ballymaloe Cookery and take the opportunity to meet and learn from Giuliano, the son of one of my favourite cookery writers Marcella Hazan. A short course is always good to refresh our repertoire. #italianfood
