Smiles behind the masks
Long before 2020 people were wearing masks. Some of them could be found at Folsom Street Fair in 2013!

The Crumb Patrol
A crow watches for crumbs on the ground at the Blarney Woollen Mills today. The white gazebo/tent is gone but it was good to see the (permanent?) outdoor covered seating next to the building still there.

A Frosty Morning in Blarney
Blarney on a frosty morning in February 2013. We’ve had such a mild winter this year but there’s always a (tiny) chance of snow for the next few weeks.

On my Phone
Outside Papeis Pintados, a shop in Porto near the hotel I was staying in with my team from work. I suspect this was taken after a hearty meal in La Ricotto right across the road. November 2019.

When the sun rises tomorrow…
It seems unreal but most of the Covid19 restrictions will be lifted in Ireland tomorrow morning at 6am.
- Pubs and restaurant hours to return to normal.
- Nightclubs reopen.
- FULL attendance at indoor and outdoor events.
- Covid pass requirement gone for hospitality.
You’ll still need the Covid digital cert (or I presume a negative PCR?) to travel on a plane though.
Today we had just over 11,000 new cases of Covid19, but it’s omicron, “the mild variant”. Our hospitals aren’t overflowing. The Taoiseach spoke this evening and acknowledged that case numbers will go up. Hopefully not too many of those extra people die or suffer long term disability.
Despite the frost on the ground in the photo above this has been a remarkably mild winter. If I go anywhere I’ll be eating and drinking outside for a good while yet.

Blarney Castle Sunset
A few days ago we had a lovely sunset and luckily I was out walking with my wife around the village. Here’s a shot from the road outside. This is a silhouette anyone in Blarney will recognise, isn’t it?

Not at this time of year obviously. This was in July 2011!
