A water main on the street in San Francisco while Automattic waited to go into a restaurant.
I think that’s Matt in the background, but it might have been Alex too.
Urban Acid applied to this image 🙂

Lost in thought
Two teenage girls on Patrick’s Street, Cork. One is lost in thought, while the other chats away.
Do you recognise the Special K poster in the background?

The girl in Abrakebabra
A young girl waits for her food in Abrakebabra, Patrick St. in Cork. Her hard expression is softened by the little hearts on her jumper, but somehow I think she can stand up for herself ..
Good news! My car passed the NCT this morning! 🙂

How to buy jewellery gifts for Christmas
When shopping for jewellery gifts it’s important to note the following steps to make your life easier.
- Make sure you start early. It’s already too late. Better luck next year. This lady started her shopping on November 10th!
- Examine the shop window in meticulous detail. Bring a magnifying glass.
- Drag an unfortunate shop assistant out into the cold, wind and wet to show him which item you want to buy, before changing your mind and looking at something else.
Don’t worry about price. The piece you like will always be the most expensive.

Special K Diet
“Shape up your day” with the Special K diet according to Kelloggs.
Your shape. Your way. With Kelloggs Special K of course. That stuff is full of salt isn’t it? Having said that, I do love a bowl of Frosties. Never lasts long in the house. Good thing I haven’t bought a packet in years!
‘Course, I could just be talking about Ketamine too. 🙂

The boys are asleep
Oh the relief when the baby falls asleep. Twice the fun when you have two, eh Ryan?
A mother pushes a buggy with her two sons across Patrick Street in Cork while the two lads sleep serenely.
The car in the background is what caught my attention in the first place. Do you recognise it?

Debenhams’ confused identity
Debenhams bought Irish department store chain, "Roches Stores", back in 2006, and rebranded their Cork store on Patrick Street shortly afterwards.
Unfortunately nobody has yet replaced the big "Roches Stores" logo at the top of the building. It’s still there, more than a year later! 🙂

Whirling around and around
A merry-go-round or whatever you call it kept the kids entertained in the Peace Park last night as Santa visited courtesy of 96FM.
Even the Lord Mayor of Cork turned up. He had no problems finding parking. I saw his car parked up on the broad new pavement outside the park. The “07 C 1” number plate is very distinctive.
