  • Oscar in the snow

    A shitzu dog walking the snow next to a wall with parked cars in the background.

    Twelve years ago today, it had snowed heavily in Blarney. I took Oscar out for a walk that morning and brought my camera along because of the snow!

    I don’t think he really minded the cold, but he was always happy to get home, snow or not!

  • The Ferris Wheel after Sunset

    The top half of the Ferris Wheel on Grand Parade with St. Fin Barr's Cathedral in the background and the sky is a lovely orange and purple

    The Ferris Wheel on Grand Parade in Cork pictured just after sunset, in December 2016. This year the wheel is further up the street so you can’t get this photo now.

    I haven’t been in town at sunset this month either but hopefully someone got a nice sunset photo of the wheel this year.

  • My comfortable Pets

    A chihuahua in a bed looking at the camera

    First up is Hoppy. She’s around 13 and only has three legs but she’s a fast mover. In the past she didn’t mind the cold but now she likes to avoid it.

    Here’s Mommy Cat. She’s Hoppy’s mom.

    She’s around 16 as best we can guess, as she was around for a few years before she brought her kittens in to us.

    For years, she would never come into the house, but now she spends 99% of the day inside, asleep. She doesn’t go any further than the garden now.

    We can’t touch her as she’ll take a swipe at us if we do, but we still love her.

    Then there’s Diego, our chihuahua. He was 8 this year. A middle aged dog with a special diet and who absolutely loves cuddles.

    The cats and him sort of ignore each other, but if the cats get a treat, Diego makes sure that we know he wants one too.

    It’s so very cold outside but Hoppy, Mommy Cat and Diego are inside in the warmth and putting up with me taking photos of them.

  • Get Tsingtao Beer in San Francisco!

    The window of a restaurant with an overhanging cover. The street is refected in the window and a sign for Tsingtao Beer floats in the window.

    Walking down a street in San Francisco and this sign for Tsingtao Beer caught my eye.

    This was taken in 2007, during an Automattic meetup, which later became known as a Grand Meetup. In 2007, the company was so small, it wasn’t so Grand, but it was Great!

  • A Garda car in the rain

    A Garda (police) car driving along a street while rain falls at night. A cyclist is on the rother side of the road and pedestrians walk on the pavement.

    A Garda car speeds past with lights flashing outside Trinity in Dublin a few weeks back. Rain made the evening miserable, but I had an umbrella and there were still loads of people about.
