This morning.
The Ivy, Dawson Street, Dublin 2.
The Ivy waitress Julia Marciniak gives out free Gerbera Daisies to passers-by to offset Blue Monday (the third Monday of January has been ‘scientifically proven’ to be bluest in the year).
The Gerbera Daisy is said to be ‘one of the happiest of the flower kingdom’.
Harrumph.

maybe they’re trying to change peoples perception of the ivy after literally every review spoke about being talked down to and ridiculed by pretentious staff.

Blue Monday is an unsuccessful marketing ploy that developed a life of its own and lives on despite the travel agency that created it folded years ago.
It would cheer me up more to know that Ivy management is making sure Julia gets her tips.
