Friday.
David Costello tweets:
About 2km out from the Sandymount promenade this afternoon as low tide approached, the perfect place to watch the Spring showers pass and social distance.
Later…
Clouds over the canal. Sally’s Bridge, Dublin

This morning.
RIP.
Thank Florence it’s Friday.
We received a suggestion earlier from regular reader Scottser for the theme of this week’s music jamboree.
He mused:
“In the current climate, a theme of anti-Establishment would make a pretty cool Friday tunes competition.”
So there you have it: simply post your favourite anti-Establishment song and the reason why you like it below to be in with a chance of bagging yourself a €20 Currys PC World voucher redeemable in any Currys store.
Here’s mine.
The winner will be chosen by my anarchist flatmate.
Please include video links if possible.
Lines close at 11am on Saturday!
Nick says: Good luck!
Behold: the Segway APEX H2 – production-ready concept electric motorcycle scheduled for release in 2023. Powered by a hybrid electric-hydrogen powertrain with swappable replacement hydrogen canisters, the Tron-Like APEX has a minimalistic mono-posto tail, wide-section tires, single-sided swing-arm and hub-center-steered single-sided front-end.
It will do 0-100km/h in less than 4 seconds with a top speed of 150km/h.
And it’s yours for $10,700 (€8,980) in the US and, no doubt, more than that elsewhere.
Last night.
