Mourne Mountains looking well in the snow yesterday. Taken from the same spot in Skerries [Co Dublin] that I took the rainbow photo last year, just looking north this time.

I know it’s been three days now but I did a prank on my friend and made her think she won the €110,000,000 Euromillions jackpot. I originally just added it to Facebook but someone suggested spreading it to the wider internet community….
Carbon aerogel – a ‘mass of atom-thick carbon sheets’, above, resting on a cherry blossom – made in China, is 0.16mg/cm³ – about one sixth the density of air.
The previous lightest solid – a 0.9mg/cm³ 99.99% air metal lattice made in California – was 100 times lighter than Styrofoam.

Don’t let them tell you what you can’t spend your money on.

The new bank guidelines for permitted spending by those people who will get the let off, or debt rescheduling, seem more than fair. As it is, those who plan to stay paying their crippling mortgages get very irked when they hear calls for those who getting a let off, to also be able to have Sky Sports and go on foreign holidays. We have to get real here, and have some fairness.
For example, €29 a week seems fine to me for a person to do social activity and go to the cinema. Maybe don’t go to the cinema, if you want to save your house! And the monthly(!) clothing allowance is reasonable. I certainly wouldn’t be buying new clothes every month- or every six months at this stage. It is a matter of fairness. It would create great resentment if a whole bunch of people were able to get debt forgiveness, and have a better lifestyle than those who are struggling to honour their debts.

I realise you don’t normally do this. but my bike was stolen from outside my house last night. It’s a pretty unique looking bike so I was wondering would it be possible to get the word out? It’s a cream and orange Dawes Duchess bike taken from Kilmainham, Dublin 8. I don’t know if you can help me… I just want to back.
Anyone?
