Epiphany

In some parts of Ireland the 6th of January is known as Little Christmas, or Women’s Christmas or Women’s Little Christmas. I haven’t really seen anything done about it before but it must be a big deal here. Last night Cork was filled with women. Every corner had a crowd of them and every restaurant was packed with them. Pudgy hands diving for more prawn crackers. A sea of fur coats.

A world without men. It was an eerie and noisy place.
