Yes!

There are some excellent ones around the city.

It’s great how they’ve been letting artists loose on those boxes.

No! I definitely don’t remember seagulls stealing your lunch.

Me too. It’s a bit hidden by a hoarding at the moment but it’s perfect for the area as well.

It seems to catch a lot of people by surprise. I wouldn’t eat in front of them!

Picture of a large junction box on the street at the top of Kildare Street at Stephen’s Green in Dublin, Ireland. On it is painted a very large, angry-looking seagull in front of two wooden gates. Two tiny people, dwarfed by the seagull, appear to be running from it, one on either side of the lower front of the image. The text over the gates reads St Stephen’s Green. The signature in the lower right of the image says M. Fitz 25.

Got to love Dublin. #Speirgorm

Landscape format in acrylic on canvas. On far side of a pale grey-green field with tufts of short vertical strokes of green and blue, is a small dark-green broken hedgerow about one running horizontally, about one quarter the way up from the bottom, and from it grow 2 trees both with twisting branches of green and red without foliage and then some clumps of blue-green foliage just at their extremities. Beyond trees is another field, rendered as a narrow strip of blazing orange and at far side is line of trees and bushes in paler blue-green than the near hedgerow. Sky is pale blue in the top half with some strips of clouds high up, but the bottom half of the sky directly behind the trees down to the horizon is one large dark mass of billowing clouds topped with lighter fluffy edges of almost white.

Have a #painting. "West Cork Trees" came out of cycling past these lads several times out west of Clonakilty where I would catch a glimpse of them through a gap in a hedgerow and despite how far they were away they would always arrest me. I hope they're doing ok. #SpeirGhorm #ArtYear #BlueSkyMonday

Keep up the good work.

All good, thanks Izzy! Keeping the head down. Hope you’re well.

A very happy big birthday to Mammy Kamikaze.

I have never needed anything so badly.

Square format in acrylics on canvas. View from a height at, in the foreground, the ruined remains of an abbey and dominating the picture a stone 12th century Round Tower rendered mostly in warm tones with the right side being dark in shadow and the left side in sunlight having pale grey blue stones and some pink and red dotted among the earthen tones as it moves around to the dark brown and blue at the right side. Its pointed top reaches almost the top of the painting. Around its base are scattered headstones of a cemetery in various greys with some round green bushes. Just in front along the bottom edge is pale yellow-green grass, because the view is from across the road in a field which is higher than the graveyard. Behind the tower we see down onto the crescent-shaped strand stretching away to halfway up the painting where it bends right receiving the blues of the sea coming in from the right. Near the back of the beach is a broken line of pink, perhaps of seaweed at a tide line. Behind the beach at the left edge is a caravan park with dozens of mostly pale caravans in rows. Along the horizon, a third of the way down from the top edge and up past the beach are gentle hills of green patchwork fields, dotted with pale houses at the bottom closest to Ardmore and with a tree line along much of the distant top extending to the right over a headland which has violet and grey cliffs at the right edge. The sky is a very pale aqua blue. Signed top left, Liam Daly

A #painting from Ireland's south coast. "Ardmore" is an exalted place for me, not because of the Round Tower, but because when I was small I stayed in a caravan and every day you'd jump over the dunes to the beach after first eating a bowl of Puffa Puffa Rice. #ArtYear #SpeirGhorm #TidesOutTuesday

I didn’t much either. But he always brings the memories now.

No bother! Give me a few days and I’ll post it off to you.

Cover of the FT Weekend Magaxine dated 20 September 2025. It has an image of a man in a red jumper, wearing round black-rimmed glasses, with a coffee kettle in his right hand doing a very high pour over a coffee brewer on a table in front of him. He is looking directly at the camera and in the foreground to the left and the right of the shot are cameras mounted on tripods. The caption in yellow writing reads: How did we get so weird about coffee? A strapline below in red reads: King of the bean James Hoffmann has some ideas.

@imbibecoffee.bsky.social The FT’s weekend magazine is dedicated to coffee, Gary. Would you like me to send it on when I’m done with it?

Thanks for the ear worm.

You too B ❤️

I was thinking I need to watch All the President’s Men again but it’s nearly two and a half hours long.

I post a thing on a freecycling website and get a reply from someone saying how great this is but they’ll pass, sadly. Could you just *not* reply?

True, to be fair.

Nice.

Exactly.
