Ruins of the R&H Hall Office

The shell of the R&H Hall office in Cork Docklands today. It went up in flames on November 23rd, following a fire in the main R&H Hall building on November 10th.

It’s not the first time this block has been damaged by fire. In 2006, grain silos that stood next to this office were damaged by fire and subsequently demolished. Here are a few photos of this office in 2006 and the grain silos behind it.

Hoppy on Caturday

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?
