Brown pasta is nice and I’m sorry I didn’t convert sooner, but I draw the line at brown rice too.

At this rate it’ll be quicker to list those who aren’t running.

Love this! Are those jelly beans for the rice?

Not a mention of sepia in the comments? The best colour, worth keeping a Lamy fountain pen for it!

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

I honestly don’t know, but current affairs do seem to be more widely discussed. Not just Irish politics, from further afield including the US.

This is the thing I find odd. I suppose Ireland is small enough that all politics is local but seems there is more chat about this kind of thing.

Hi David, following from Ireland in bewilderment. Can I ask if this is starting to dominate conversations on the ground there outside people who would be interested in politics generally?

Thanks! First time I’ve seen/heard of that

I’m very confused, was that originally like that or a modern intervention?

Very true. Most working/studying full time while managing training commitments and optimum fitness too.

This is so frustrating. We’re all aware of the issues keeping teen girls in sport, do they not realise the message it sends to the younger ones coming up to see how they’ll be treated if they stay on? Players’ opinions being completely disrespected by those who shouldn’t be given any say.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

Penguins on the uninhabited Heard and McDonald Islands pondering the new 10% tariff that will be levied on their own faeces or anything else that floats across the ocean from their home and washes up on the shore of the USA.

🚨So, why are uninhabited islands tariffed?

A: The White House is even more stupid than you thought.

Tariffs have been done by internet domains, not by country!

So Heard & McDonald Islands (.hm) has a different domain to Australia (.au). So the penguins are considered a separate trading nation. 🤯

Words fail me.

This could describe so much of the past 6 weeks.

This would have been considered the common translation 70 odd years ago in Cork anyway. I know someone who was relieved to be Abigail instead, iirc she had a first cousin Gobnait already which swung it.

Didn’t know about these, but I just used a printout, scissors and pritt stick earlier to do exactly this.

Oh god… I’ll take the interspersed unfinished buildings any day so!

I get these for building sites. One visit was memorably set to Cyndi Lauper’s Time After Time showing various holes in the ground with pipes and an occasional boot/high vis sleeve.

Yes, the day after the storm was great for solar power… but only if you had electricity to power the system!

Good to know, thanks!

@carlowweather.bsky.social Hi Alan, thanks as always for the updates. Delighted to be in the sunshine with power back already here.
Quick question, any imminent storms that would delay reassembling the trampoline? Thanks!

Perfect, thanks. Younger than the range we would be looking at but always good to watch out for books we haven’t seen.

What age group would that be for?

That’s really interesting, where’s the graph from? I wonder how much of an effect covid had or whether it’s a lifestyle generational change

Brilliant use of vacant office space in NYC:

Two empty floors of 307 W. 38th St have come back to life as new home of the famed Paul Taylor Dance Company. With beautiful studios, classrooms and rehearsal space.

A win for dance. A win for NYC. Thrilled to join today’s ribbon cutting.

I ❤️ how these are always the perfect amount of shade
