Last Day of Work - BBQ Time

Yesterday was Friday, and it was the last day of work for both myself and Donny. Luckily enough it was also the day of the summer BBQ for Steves work. The venue for the BBQ was the Speckled Door bar on the Old Head of Kinsale, about half an hours drive from Cork City.

A good number left work at about half 3 (myself amongst them) and headed down to the beach for a bit of merriment before the evenings proceedings began. Madonna came down after her work finished and was there in time for Dinner.

Below are some photos from both the beach and the evening. Thankfully the weather was excellent.


One of the many stunning views on the Old Head


Steve and Kev. Steve is wearing his Cork Jersey which was a going away present from work.


Beach Volleyball


Some of the group on the beach


Steve and big Tim. Tims bigness is exaggerated in this photo, but he is still a big guy.


Beach Soccer


Cousin Tadhg talking into his new pint-phone


The group at the bar enjoying the sunshine


Kev and Niall "Chambo" Chamberlain. The headwear was their own choice, brought from home. You could see exactly the same attire most days in the office.


Paul, Steve and Paidi. Paul is the owner of Milo who we puppysat a few weeks ago, and Paidi is just an all round legend.


Steve and Vinnie (once the tallest chinese man in Ireland)


Cousin Tadhg, Paidi, Madonna, Steve and Alan

Same group plus big Tim.

Madonna doing the limbo. Madonna ended up coming second but was robbed of the title by some unscrupulous limboing from a competitor.

Donny and Alan

Paidi, Fiona and Steve. Fiona is Milo's other owner and also was generous enough to give us a lift home later that night.

Donny and her Cousin Tadhg.

All in all it was a brilliant day/evening, but with a tinge of sadness saying goodbye to a bunch of awesome folks that we have met through work. Every one of them will be missed, but also have contributed in a massive way to our experience over here.
