Albert College Park (Hampstead Park), Glasnevin, Dublin this morning.
Back to bed with you.
It’s still February.
Thanks Celine

In Dublin the Shinners have said,
That we shouldn’t remember the dead,
And a journalist shot,
Is sad but they’ll not,
Let the plans for her name go ahead.

Last night.
Paul Murphy TD joined Anti Austerity Alliance and Irish Water protesters outside the Department of Justice in Dublin to protest against the arrests of protestors this week.
One of those arrested, 16-year-old Jason Lester, also said a few words…

Fictional guesswork by The Horror Channel.
Her eyes closed tight, her mouth contorted and she let out a slow, sensual moan of blissful ecstasy. She did enjoy a Werther’s Original.

She thrashed about for hours, her arms bound above her head, unable to see or cry for help. Gran always struggled to get her jumper off.

I was shocked to open the door and see a frenzied, urgent, heaving mass of bodies. There’s nothing like the post office on pension day.

She drooled and wriggled with excitement. She’d never had two men at once. Meals on Wheels must have hired more staff

For the weekend that’s in it.
Saturday, 1st March, 1975.
In the centenary year of the Irish Rugby Football Union, once again, the Irish rugby team with its combination of a blatant shove in the back and a dribble up field spirit, skill and enterprise helped lift the island’s morale.
Amateur individuals subservient to the nation.
A double was on.

Exhilirating back movements, the deftness of the hands and the agility of the limbs of those who do their work in the tight, the ruck, the maul and the line-out. The essential ingredients were forthcoming this time that were so sadly lacking against Scotland
Meanwhile, in the crowd..
Allez what now?

Eva McGauley as a young cover star (top) and today (above)
Dudley Colley writes:
Eva is the daughter of Pat McGauley who many moons ago was bass player in Dublin band, The Dudley Corporation. In fact, Eva was the cover star of their second LP “In Love With…” in a gorgeous sketch drawn by Atsuo of Japanese band Boris.
Eva is 15 now and we just got the horrible news that she has been diagnosed with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, a rare form of cancer which affects the throat and nose, and is being treated in a specialist cancer unit in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Eva’s treatment programme means that she will have to spend months away from home and as a result her mother, Kate Hardwick, will need to be away from work for some time.
Pat has set up a fund it page for Eva [link below] and if you can spare it, anything would be a massive help to them. Cancer in kids, all wrong. Thanks folks, and be well, Eva!
