January is objectively the longest month of the year. It may have the same amount of days as November but as Einstein taught us all; time is relative. So, with that logic, I guess January is relatively awful. If you’re one of the legion who got paid on Christmas Eve and are still waiting for the next pay day then you’re likely feeling the pinch this weel. And honestly – same. Though the temptation to live on plain pasta or hide under a duvet is all too real.

A new landmark has captured Dublin, and the internet’s imagination: an unassuming stone bridge crossing the Royal Canal at Drumcondra Road. For those who’ve made a weekend pilgrimage to “Cherry Tomato Bridge,” the hype is real.

“It’s with an extremely heavy heart that we are saying goodbye. “We have truly loved every single second of it—from the day we opened through to the many iterations and changes we’ve gone through, each one bringing different, wonderful people into our lives. “Community is an overused term, but Network became that for many, and for us, too. “We won’t get into the boring details of why the business is no more, but simply remember us for what we were.

Obviously we love Dublin just as she is. It’s got quit an array of stalwarts. Museums, walks, parks, theatres, pints and toasties, trad music sessiúns, cobblestone streets, Poolbeg Towers, an expansive coast and the eternal charm of its Georgian doors. But sure, there’s always room for improvement, and Dublin is ready to level up. There’s no vibe-killer like missing the last Luas or getting ghosted by the last 145. But what if Dublin caught up to the 21st century and had round-the-clock transport?

Dublin in a cold snap is a wibbly-wobbly wonderland, but the Walk to Work is a performance art piece on collective humiliation. We all have the Man-Who-Fell-On-The-Ice from that RTE broadcast burned into our retinas. The fear that it could happen to us is so deeply rooted it goes hand in hand with the leaving cert nightmares that never go away. As the well-trodden streets morph into booby traps, we’re all whipping out our best Bambi impressions and playing “Please don’t take me down” with the path.
