The Lights of the Samuel Beckett Bridge
The Samuel Beckett Bridge in Dublin and the lights of the Convention Centre Dublin fight for attention. Red and Green lights reflect off the River Liffey on a warm October evening earlier this year.
A Tour of Coventry Music Museum
Last June I visited The Coventry Music Museum. It’s a wonderful experience for anyone who knows anything about Ska music. After hearing the sad news that Terry Hall passed away I had to dig up these photos for you. There were so many nice messages on Mastodon this morning on the #TerryHall hashtag I think…
My comfortable Pets
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…
Gardai in the shop

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…
