• Hoppy on Caturday

    A black and white cat lying in a small bed surrounded by colourful cushions on a ping blanket

    Hoppy, one of our cats, loves the luxury of having multiple beds she can lie in around the house.

    Actually, all our animals can do that. Diego, our chihuahua, certainly takes advantage of that, laying himself down near whomever he wants to be with at any one time.

    Animals in this house are spoiled? Whatever made you think that?

    A man dressed in a suit is an unusual sight when all around him are dressed casually.

    Walking along Henry Street in Dublin a few weeks ago, and I saw these two lads coming out of a shop in a hurry. I wouldn’t even have posted these, except the second guy seems to be quite a character!

    Something caught her eye as she walked along. I don’t know what. I took this photo in 2006, but only noticed it a few days ago.

  • A tiny red car

    A small red car parked by a pavement with a "no parking" cone in front of it. It appears to be parked on a corner.

    I spotted a tiny red car parked on a bend in Ardara, Co Donegal on a visit there in 2017. I forgot to take a photo of the logo on the bonnet, so if anyone knows what type of car it is, please let me know!

    Lovely town too.
