Latest significant wave heights forecast for 8am tomorrow with 13m waves forecast, please stay back from coasts. #StormÉowyn

That high resolution AROME model out to 9am shows gusts I’ve never seen this model show before for Ireland and this model is one of the best there is for Ireland. Anyone saying this is just another storm is in for a rude awakening. This will be an historic storm. #StormÉowyn

I hadn’t even read the text here and was already humming the soundtrack!
This photo does same for me

I'm reading news of an imminent ceasefire deal. I'm praying that the violence truly stops, that we don't see drawn-out death by another name. I pray that we all stay alert and awake regardless of what comes next.

None of us are free until Palestine is free and a ceasefire is not freedom.

Aww have the best time. I must get myself organised to go next year

Thanks D & A xx

A large Sainsbury’s Store Front with the signs for the other shops laid out underneath. They are Argos Habitat Tu. sounds a bit Latin dunnit. lol eh The fact they left out Specsavers leads me to think they knew what they were doing, and I’m probably just explaining their own joke to them

Oooh, look at Sainsbury’s, with their fancy new Latin motto like they’re bleedin hogwarts

Grow up

Oooh!

This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody) Kishi Bashi · String Quartet Live! · Song · 2015

This is my favourite cover ever. String quartet version of This Must be the Place

open.spotify.com/track/4Fiaxx...

You'd have to say Aretha's version of Respect tops Otis Redding's.

Same for Mark Ronson/Amy Winehouse cover of Valerie.

And maybe Billy Paul's version of Wings' Le 'Em In.

The best ever though is
Nirvana - Man Who Sold the World
Second is
Nirvana - Where did you sleep last night

Ooh!
Xiu Xiu - Sharp Dressed Man
Devo - Satisfaction
Wednesday - Perfect
Beck - Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime
Phoebe Bridgers + Maggie Rogers - Iris
