This afternoon.
It’s a franchise.
Thanks Finn McDuffie
Brothers Hugh (pic 3) and Mike Byrne (bright blue Jacket) package Christmas Trees today on their family’s farm, the Slade Valley Christmas Tree farm, near the Slade Valley Golf Club in Brittas, Co Dublin.
The Byrnes use organic methods of farming the trees, by using Shropshire sheep (top) and geese to maintain the grass.

….While the [Forty Foot] area is now open to all, there is a secluded section to one side where men tend to congregate. There are also two huts owned by the association – one for changing and one with clubhouse and kitchen facilities – neither available to women.
Many women contribute an annual fee to the [The Sandycove Bathers’ Association for maintenance, but this does not entitle them to membership.

‘Fall’: an homage to the autumnal transformations of Central Park by Jamie Scott, who:
…chose 15 locations in the park and revisited them 2 days a week for six months, recording all camera positions and lens information to create consistency in the images. All shots were taken just after sunrise.
Music: ‘I get Nervous’ by Lower Dens.
Remember the working transformer prototype from last summer? Well, it’s been improved.
It walks, it drives, it fires little projectiles and it has a wifi camera built in.
You want one and the creator Kenji Ishida is selling ten units (price on application). Good luck with that.
You may recall yesterday’s thoughtful response from Labour TD Sean Kenny explaining why he voted against Clare Daly’s ‘Savita’s Law’ bill to a constituent.
The following is, reportedly, a brief exchange between a mother-of-two from Clare and her local Labour TD Michael McNamara, (above left with Ivana Bacik and Eamon Gilmore), posted on the MagicMum website.
..last night Micheal you certainly didn’t represent me. It is a travesty that you and others like you have such blatant disregard for the health and lives of the women of this country and county. As a mother of two daughters your actions last night made me cry. I hope I and any future partners they may have never have to go through what Praveen Halappanavar and many others (maybe not with such dire consequences, luckily) like him went through
Consider my vote gone.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Ms ***,
Did you even read or listen to the Minister’s speech wherein he promised legislation and provided a timeframe?
If not, I’d suggest you do so: Justice.ie/en/JELR/Pages/SP12000333
Isn’t there a certain irony that instead you resorted to a Youth Defence strategy?
Best regards,
Michael
