Picked up a new addition for my bookshelf during my trip home over the weekend. Looks well next to the original. Excited to begin reading!!! @irishrainforest.bsky.social

Visited the fascinating Roskilde Viking Ship Museum today. 🇩🇰 Their largest warship was built in Dublin with oak from Wicklow. To me it's a reminder of the ancient woodlands which once covered so much of Ireland. The reconstruction called The Sea Stallion from Glendalough sailed to Dublin in 2007.

Home for a few days. Lots of cranes on the Cork City skyline!

Two things in Copenhagen that you'd never see in Ireland. 1. A metro system 2. Public transport timetables with half-minute accuracy

I've always been fascinated by borders so I really enjoyed this book. A blend of history and travel, both quirky and depressing, from Clones to Chernivtsi. I'm very inspired to visit some of these places! Fittingly, I read a lot of this on my cross-border commute! 🇸🇪🇩🇰 @lewisbaston.bsky.social

A geographical pilgrimage to Smygehuk, the southernmost point of Sweden. 🇸🇪 Closer to Cork than it is to the northernmost point of the country.

Question for anyone else from #Cork: Does anyone know where Glankittane/Clankittane Square was in the city? I know it was near the barracks but i can't find the exact location of the square anywhere. Was it demolished or renamed? Trying to find where my ancestors lived based on the 1926 Census.

As someone who wastes too much time zooming around Google Maps, its great to see an expanded area of 3d imagery for #Cork, including Ballincollig, Carrigaline, Midleton and the harbour. The imagery for the city was also updated. You can tell it isn't too recent as the R&H Hall is still present.

This wasn't here the last time I was home! Great to see #Cork once again building taller than Dublin!!!

Great to see more density in the city. Looking forward to seeing the progress during my next trip home. #Cork

I first heard about Malmö's connection to Fairytale of New York around last Christmas. Finally found the plaque today! It's at Hotel Temperence, just down the street from Fagan's Irish Pub #Sweden

Lund 🇸🇪 (pop: 95,000) is less than half the size of Cork 🇮🇪 (pop: 225,000) yet it has its own modern tram line. One of many things this small Swedish university city does so well.

Student accommodation is needed in Cork, but surely a more suitable use could be given to such a central and prominent location in the city?

When there are no Centra delis in Sweden so I make my own chicken fillet roll...

Spent a few hours in Manchester today while transferring flights between Copenhagen and Cork. Loved seeing a T-Rex with a Santa hat in the Manchester Museum! #paleontology #fossils #dinosaurs

My first Scandinavian winter. It may always be cold and dark, but I don't mind at all when the city looks like this!!! #Lund #Sweden

Finished reading The Lie of the Land by @thinkorswim.bsky.social this morning. I'd highly recommend this to anyone trying to wrap their head around the climate crisis, and what Ireland can do to mitigate and adapt to it. The book does a brilliant job at making the overwhelming understandable.

The fact that you can't even use contactless or an app (without a physical Leap Card) to pay for the bus shows how neglected Ireland's public transport is. Only one issue in a long list of ways Ireland decides to keep doing transport worse than most of Europe.

Bus Éireann would be a fantastic contestant on the Traitors - being able to lie about everything without ever being held accountable for it. Waiting 40+ minutes for a service that’s supposed to be every 15, when there’s no traffic at all to delay it, is simply unacceptable. Cork deserves better.

I love how a 24 hour train ticket to Malmö (same price as return from Lund) includes all buses and trains in both cities. Makes it so easy to go on a long walk along the beach, take the bus to Ikea for meatballs, and then back to the city centre before my train home to Lund. #Sweden

Can't believe I've already been in Sweden for 2 months! Lund looking extremely well in the Autumn 🍂

I love finding map shops in different cities across Europe. Kartbutiken in Stockholm passes the test of having a map of Cork! #Maps #Cork

One of my favourite things about Lund 🇸🇪 is how pleasant it is to walk through the suburbs. The city has a wide network of cycle/footpaths surrounded by trees and green spaces. There's underpasses under many busy roads, making journeys even safer. Ireland has a lot to learn. #Lund #Cork

The Straight Road cycle lane is awful and leaves people stranded while trying to cross a busy road. Meanwhile, the same road (N22) has light segregation, an inner kerb, and a toucan x'ing a few km away. Please sign this petition to call for safer cycling to Bcollig. chng.it/FqrR59rysZ

Delivery to Sweden from @kennysbookshop.bsky.social. Great to support Irish businesses (and learn about what Ireland can do in the climate crisis) even when living abroad. Looking forward to reading @thinkorswim.bsky.social.
