This morning’s walk. Hawthorn I think? Grangegorman.

Dozens and dozens of dark red berries hanging off what I think is a hawthorn branch. Mid green leaves anyway.

Bikebunkers - in this case outside our Scout Hall.

Two green metal bikebunkers, by a Scout Hall with a mural of local ferns on it. In the background are terraces of cottages, with some tree pits.

I don’t think this is getting as much coverage as it should.

Thank you! It was kind of an accident - I only realised the bee was there when I zoomed in on this. Great to see the bees back anyway.

Today’s particularly lovely Stoneybatter book swap. Around 100 books found new homes, including some now heading for a primary school library, and many chats were had. And the sun shone, and there were excellent dogs.

A photograph of an outdoor book swap with two tables of books, with 10 people browsing and chatting. The sun is shining and there is multi-coloured bunting.

Today’s walk, nosing at the Grangegorman geothermal exploration thingy.

Outdoors, looking at the circular silver lid covering a bore hole (?) to check out the potential for geothermal energy from the Grangegorman campus. There’s a Geological Survey label on the lid.

Today’s second walk - admiring the artwork at Grangegorman Bring Centre www.dublincity.ie/waste-and-re...

A child’s artwork on green paper, giving the hours the Bring Centre is open and listing items that can be recycled there (both available via the link above), with drawings of the world, water, a lightbulb, an Irish flag, a recycling sign and more 💚

This morning’s walk! The drain round the corner here clogged with mud so requested it be cleared. Because that’s who I am now… citizenhub.dublincity.ie

A dark grey & brown photo. A close up of a gully/drain. There’s a pale brown leaf on top, through the drain you can see lots of mud.

This morning’s walk. Before the rains. Or after *some* rains but before the big Orange 21-hour rain/weather warning that starts in a few hours anyway. Dublin has a massive drainage problem doesn’t it? Water pooling everywhere.

Pre sunrise Dublin, between Grangegorman & Smithfield. Opposite the bougie cafe if you know where that is. Black tarmac road surfaces and to the right a chunk of pale pink building, and then red street lights and reflections, a glossy new building in the background and then front & centre a great big puddle on a bend, where many a pedestrian will get splashed as cars come round the corner.
