Thursday Doors: I Stayed At This Hotel?

Posted on September 14, 2023 by Marian Allen

This was back in the height of summer, but I’m just getting around to posting these. We stayed at this hotel for a creative writing / bookselling event.

First, a favorite genre of mine:

I never get tired of letter boxes. Especially metallic ones. Especially brass.

Er…. The door was boring, but the sign made me stop and snap.

I don’t like it that they sleep on the job, but I admire their honesty.

And possibly my favorite hotel door of all time anywhere:

FIR — In case of Christmas, break glass.

Fir is what you would see on the door of men’s toilets in Ireland. Mna for women. (Gaeilge)
So I’m looking at that little square door with Fir written on it, thinking, mm… that’s handy!
