Admittedly, the positioning of the RIA Library stamps in the past was not always ideal... but the effort made by someone to remove them from this book seems excessive!

"I'd say the place is awash with Russian bolloxogly." As overheard on the ferry today. In regard to the French navy off the coast and EU up in Cork, like. #Speirgorm #FerryTalk #Cork #Like

Day 2: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bYW... What's immediately apparent is that Irish Air Corps PC-12 #283 callsign "HAWKEYE" flew around vessel AMADEUS first, but it was when C295 MSA, callsign "KRAKEN", took over, that the vessel changed course.

Why did so many music festivals start in Ireland in the late 1970s? The emergence of these festivals and rock shows was down to a growing youth culture and the arrival of astute music promoters, explains James Cronin @ucc.ie www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2...

5 years ago today. The Lockdown sourdough.

Polytunnel time.

The more things change...

The ‘dog days’ of summer get their name due to their association with the Dog Star, Sirius, found in the constellation Canis Major. The first visible rising of Sirius occurs during the hot stretch from early July to early September. Woof.

The end of an era - After almost a century we said goodbye this morning to our great companion of the airwaves Radio 4 198 LW. I shall miss her warmth and crackle. Here’s the final sign off at the end of #theshippingforecast before she fell silent… ❤️

Heatwave booked in for tomorrow, but by mistake I ordered the rain & mist for the weekend.

Leaked UK politics thing for the weekend that's in it.

Happy June Solstice. Grianstad - Sun stop. Once more around we go.

The June solstice is today, 21st June, 2026. Today the sun will be directly above the most northerly latitude of the Earth for a moment, before heading off south again. And that moment is now, 09:24 Dublin time (i.e. 09:24 IST, 08:24 UTC).

Near the grandest of stretch tonight. 7 secs to go. #TheGrandslStretch #Sherkin #StretchMaxxing

Full of wind for #Bloomsday 👒📖💨 Set on 16 June, James Joyce's #Ulysses reaches its climax with Molly Bloom’s monologue: ‘that was a relief wherever you be let your wind go free…’ In this image, Amanda Coogan embodies ‘Molly in all her bauldness, farting at passers by’ during a live performance!

Bigger, just on another plane now.

What an AI server looks like. I added some techno for vibes.

Went to visit my neighbour this morning. She wasn't home. #speirgorm #ireland

Have another Irish #painting. "Glenbrook II" was the second time I painted the Cork Harbour village. Put houses in a row and I'm gonna be tempted to paint them. Then again, given the state of the country, just put houses somewhere - they don't even have to be in a row. #SpéirGhorm#ArtYear
