What’s hot this week: sea swimming and salted pineapple

Jill & Gill Apparel

New T-shirts and sweaters now in Brown Thomas.

Solange

The gig of the weekend. She headlines Longitude on Sunday.

The White Company

Now open on Grafton Street.

Sacla ’Nduja pesto

The spicy Italian sausage is the base for this seriously moreish pesto. Great on toast. €3.25 in supermarkets.

Sea swimming

The only place to be in the heat.

Hannah Gadsby

Her Nanette stand-up special on Netflix is a revelation.

Salted pineapple

Find it at Klaw. Irresistible.

Newmarket Square

Redevelopment means some much-loved Dublin markets have to move on.

Cinemas

Suffering in the heatwave.

Grubby streets

Extra dusty and dirty with no rain to wash the grime away.

Trainers as the new handbags

More variety, increased desirability, but higher prices.

Carwashes

With a hosepipe ban in operation, there’s no need to waste water on your wheels.

Jumpsuits

All fun and games until you’re in a portaloo at a music festival.

What’s not: Grubby streets and wearing jumpsuits to festivals
