Hi all,

I'm looking for a recommendation for someone the fix a gate in North County Galway. It's a non-electric residential gate.

We bought the house in 2019 and one of the hinges on the gate was warped when we moved in. It looks like a car may have hit into it. Anyway the warped hing makes it very difficult to open or the close the gate.

It may help to also be a bit a more specific about your location as different painters would cover different areas.

Does anyone know where to find anchovy stuffed Spanish olives? I'm pretending I'm on holiday this week and it's one of my favourite things to get in Spain.

I'm thinking the market, Sheridans, or MacCambridges might? anywhere else have nice olives?

Yes, that one stall at the market does have very nice stuffed olives. No clue if they're Spanish though!

With jobs like this sometimes your better off asking the plumber you have if he knows anyone. Might be easier for him to organise with a mate to do both jobs than you trying to coordinate 2 trades yourself.

Hi,
Looking for a picnic blanket, one that has waterproof material on the reverse side to prevent it getting wet.

Ideally one that has velcro/similar for easy carrying.
Thanks

I'd say the outdoors shops would have what you're after. Is Great Outdoors still around? Sorry I haven't been in the city in ages so not sure but Galway used to have plenty of outdoors shops. Someone else might be able to confirm what's still open.

Pubs in the city with outdoor TV to watch the hurling tomorrow? Pucan will be booked/full. Taylors probably similar. Can't think of many with outdoor TV set up
