Beautiful morning in Stephen’s Green, and look closely and you can see the heron hanging out in the tree! Although Google tells me it’s not uncommon, it’s not something I had seen before.

Thank Feodora it’s Friday.

Behold: the passage of day into night as seen from the International Space Station in 2001. To wit: 

…in this gorgeous view of ocean and clouds over our fair planet Earth, the shadow line or terminator is diffuse and shows the gradual transition to darkness we experience as twilight. With the Sun illuminating the scene from the right, the cloud tops reflect gently reddened sunlight filtered through the dusty troposphere, the lowest layer of the planet’s nurturing atmosphere. A clear high altitude layer, visible along the dayside’s upper edge, scatters blue sunlight and fades into the blackness of space. This picture was taken in June of 2001 from the International Space Station orbiting at an altitude of 211 nautical miles. But you can check out the vital signs of Planet Earth Now.

This afternoon.

Dublin’s Euro 2020 games have been moved to Russia and London as the FAI and the Government were unable to guarantee spectator attendance.

Via RTÉ

The three Group E matches featuring Slovakia, Sweden and Poland have been moved from Aviva Stadium to Saint Petersburg.

UEFA have confirmed that the last-16 game scheduled for Dublin has been switched to Wembley Stadium in London.

…UEFA’s executive committee is meeting today to finalise plans after Bilbao and Dublin could not guarantee fan presence at matches, with Seville replacing Bilbao as a host city.

Nine of the 12 host cities had already confirmed their venues will be at least 25% full for June’s delayed European Championships, the minimum capacity UEFA will accept.

Flat Champagne, anyone?

Gulp.

This afternoon.

Usually mild-mannered, German-born, Dundalk-based writer Marcel Krueger (him off Broadsheet on the Telly) invokes the dark side after getting his ‘jab’ (a cocktail of all three vaccines mixed with the blood of a virgin).

No need for the language, er, hun.

Thanks Vanessa
