This morning.

The piece of marmalade that looks like Ireland.

Or an Ireland-shaped buttery residue.

We may never know.

Thanks Colum Cronin

The full irish.

This morning.

Via Royal Irish Academy Library

On display in the Reading Room [19 Dawson Street, Dublin 2] today: A map of Ireland based on descriptions by Claudius Ptolemy (c. AD 90-168). Not bad for an ancient geographer who had never visited! This map was printed in Rome, 1490.

Ireland in the EU tweetz:

An oddity….but every time it rains in Brussels [Belgium]….the pavement outside always bring forth ….this … a little reminder of home….And with Dublin’s night lights too.
