• A Pink Cadillac in Blarney

    A Pink Cadillac in Blarney

    Happy St. Patrick’s Day! The owner of this pink Cadillac took part in the Blarney parade in 2016!

    No parade this year. The village was very quiet this evening when I went for a walk there.

    The cat looks down

    A cat looked down on the street as we wandered around Valetta in Malta in 2019. I bet they’d have loved a good ear scratching!

  • The Tritons’ Fountain in Valetta

    Tritons' Fountain

    The fabulous Tritons’ Fountain in Valetta, Malta. The fountain was built between 1952 and 1959. I’m glad I saw it after it was restored in 2018. It seems to have had an interesting life if the Wikipedia page is to be believed.

    Pre-Covid Life

    I remember being amused at the amount of vapour that comes from e-cigarettes in the past but now it just shows how much droplets and vapour spread out from a person’s mouth and nose when they breathe deeply.

  • The Taoiseach has let us down badly

    The Taoiseach has let us down badly

    Debenhams, a large retailer in the UK and Ireland closed last year with the loss of thousands of jobs. Workers in Ireland were promised 4 weeks pay per year of service rather than the statutory 2 weeks as that had been agreed between the company and their union, Mandate.

    The workers are seeking redundancy terms of two weeks’ pay per year of service, plus statutory redundancy entitlements of two weeks per year of service. The workers say this matches an agreement between the retailer and trade union Mandate made in 2016.

    Liam Ruiséal teo

    Liam Ruiséal’s shop is closed for some time now after trading in the same corner for more than 100 years. In 2018 you could still see books in there but they were advertising their final reductions. Here’s Health will be moving in there this year.

    The Golden Pages still has the number of the shop. I wonder if that page will ever be updated?
