I know you don’t normally do this…but this cat (above) has decided to make us his owners…a trip to the vet tells us that he is from London, which begs the question, how is he in Stepaside [Dublin]?
The vets are trying to get in touch with the vet in the UK and the owner, but the owner’s numbers are ringing out. If any one recognises him please get in touch.
Anyone?
Camerino bakery on Capel Street, Dublin 1
This year’s shortlist of 100 nominees for the Best Shops in Ireland 2015 (irish Times Magazine, August 15) makes for an interesting, and somewhat unsettling, observation. A quick tot of the geographical locations indicate that 49 of the shortlisted nominees are located in the general Dublin area, while 44 are to be found countrywide and seven are online.
On closer examination of the 49 Dublin-based nominees I ascertained that only one, the wonderful Camerino on Capel Street, lies north of the river Liffey. Shop horror! Could this signify a strong bias in favour of businesses situated in south Dublin? Surely not.
Yours, etc,

Dáithí Ó Sé and Melbourne Rose Joy Kerrigan last night
Colleens dancing and songs being sung,
Are the sights that we all saw among,
The girls in Tralee,
Last night on TV,
And also someone spitting dung.

In 2011, Denver based artist and calligrapher Jake Weidmann was named a master penman and admitted as the youngest ever member of the impressively titled International Association of Master Penmen, Engrossers and Teachers of Handwriting (IAMPETH) – a group of 14 uberskilled pencil-squeeezers.
Fair play in fairness.
His handwriting is just lovely.
What happens when you place a red hot ball of nickel on a Nokia 3310?
Pretty much what you’d expect.
Enda’s old phone would have survived.

Spotted at Mount Street bridge [Dublin 2]. As you can see, it’s a real catastrophe
MORE to folly.
