Did you try the home brewing shop in Liosban (assuming they're still open)? Or get yourself a few bottles of Grolsch

I hope they're not for carrying around! Glass isn't the best material for that.

Aldi had glass "hydration" bottles recently enough. AFAIK they had a silicone protector around them. They might still have some.

I second that. They are at http://www.killaryfjord.com/. Adult price is €20, children under 10 go free. But if you have some Tesco vouchers, use Boost -- €2.50 in Clubcard Vouchers gives you â‚¬10.00 in Days Out tokens. This one is a bit of a hike from Galway city and I didn't like that the commentary was recorded. The day I was on it, there was a busload of German tourists who talked over the commentary so you couldn't hear anything.

If staying in Galway City, there is also the Corrib Princess from Woodquay - https://corribprincess.clearbookings.com/component/jbooka/?view=listing&lid=125635&Itemid=41 You can use Tesco Boost with that too. I found this one very relaxing - the boat moves slowly up the Corrib River to the next of the lake. You can't actually see much as the terrain is very flat on both sides and the banks are covered in reeds. But I felt like I was in the Wind in the Willows.

From Cong or Oughterard, there is http://www.corribcruises.com/. Runs every day. Plenty to see, lots of history. Long time since I was on this one but there was live commentary.

Saw glass bottles in Me Price today; some of them looked a bit gimmicky, though. But I didn't look too closely so some might be okay.

There is beginner yoga starting I think this week. It's on Thursday mornings 6:45am in the Aras beside Pearse Stadium

Not affiliated but former student of the teacher. Would happily recommend. PM if you want contact details.

Where would I get a thinish neck tie?

I've tried all the usual suspects but they all seem to only have wide ones.

Dangan House Garden Centre used to stock it but they seem to have switched to Neudorff according to their website
It might be worth giving them a ring to see if they still have some Mo Bacter in stock though Neudorff is pretty much the same thing.

McD's in Loughrea definitely have it.

It's a shame that non of the "sheds" appear to have it as the price might come down.
Can't see many reviews & it's publicity doesn't major on Moss like MoBacter.
Because of all the mystery ingredients it's impossible to compare

Good selection of pools across the city and county.
There can be a waiting list though as I think they are the only ones who cater for this market here.

I'm looking to convert an open fire to a stove in my sitting room.
Can't seem to find (via google) a company/person that will come out and give a quote. I'm out past Furbo.

Can anyone help?!
Thanks
