28th September. Does this qualify? #PatrickKavanagh #LukeKelly “… I met her first and knew That her dark hair would weave a snare that I might one day rue…”

Thank you for reminding me of this G B 😊 The world has gone around the sun a few times since then but this capsule of inspired garage band mania endures 💕

Eduardo (from Lisbon) wasn’t spoofing when he claimed I’d taste the best pastel de nata in Ireland. You’ll find his pitch in front of the old Fire Station in Rathmines.

The sun shines on a slightly burnt golden pastel de nata sitting on a white kitchen roll sheet.

Alma Cogan (“The Girl with the Giggle in Her Voice.") became the centrepiece of an astonishingly brilliant novel by Gordon Burn

Optimist 🙂 Bud sadly this chap is unlikely to get much pollen satisfaction from the hydrangea

May not be your thing .. but..this event at Chapters Bookstore in Dublin on Friday night promises to be fun. After all, it’s got redoubtable counter-culture historian Pat Thomas, rock chronicler Stuart Bailie, The Write Stuff instigator Steve O’Toole and, along for the ride, myself. Expect fireworks

Even the most hardbitten rock & roll animal wasn't immune to Dolly Parton's loving wisdom. She represented the best in us, kindness without being sappy, wiseass without being mean & always self-aware. "They ask me how long my hair takes to do but I don't know, I'm never there when it happens!" RIP.

I went looking for old anti-vaccine propaganda and expected an interesting historical curiosity. Instead I found arguments from 1802, 1885 and 1920 that would barely need rewriting to circulate online today. That raises a rather disconcerting question.

Thanks to the Plant Identifier app I now know this is Cymbalaria muralis, commonly called ivy-leaved toadflax. Other names include coliseum ivy, Kenilworth ivy, mother of thousands, Oxford ivy, and wandering sailor. The folk at my local coffee shop will no doubt be delighted 😆

Rathmines Post Office has moved to an alcove at the back of the Centra store. Problem is, the alcove can only be accessed via a narrow entryway. Was planning permission granted for this? Because it feels like a potential death trap. Is there access to an emergency exit? @LaceyDermot @PeterDooleyDub

Now I get it! 😆 Am I being rash?

You had one job … Traffic light and Stop sign on Leeson Street, Dublin

The green leafy branches of a tree obscure a traffic light. A glimpse of a red light can be discerned through the abundant foliage.

My new jam 😊 Saint Bernardino Preaching from a Pulpit. (Tempera on parchment c.1470 - Francesco di Giorgio, Siena)

Quattrocento Painting on parchment of a gaunt monk, left arm aloft, set against a blue background, preaching from a rudimentary pulpit that looks like a box on four slender legs.

Brian Patten 1946 - 29 September 2025 Eamon Carr and I had the pleasure of publishing beautiful poems by Brian in Capella. I read with him in Dublin, Liverpool and Edinburgh. He was the 'marvellous boy' of the 60s and early 70s, an influential figure and a friend. May he rest in peace.

Breakfast of champions .. in the sun with one of my favourite poets, Pearse Hutchinson

May sun shines on a cafe table top on which rests a striped takeaway coffee cup, the end if a croissant and a copy of At Least For A While, a poetry collection by the late Pearse Hutchinson (The Gallery Press) featuring a city-seascape by the late Michael Kane.
