Rene Descartes, in an unexpected move has come back from the dead and had a new book of seafood recipes published. Lavishly illustrated but I don't think the guy knows anything about grilling salmon. That said, he has interesting ideas on the great mackerel frying debate.

Bach didn't write music for Spanish guitar but he probably would have liked this interpretation

Thanks. I really enjoyed your album today. Beautiful sunny day in the west of Ireland and your album was the perfect accompaniment. Lovely album. All the best.

In Ireland Poetry meant something to ordinary people for centuries. It still does. In America it seems to be a sterile niche.

George Orwell - Politics and the English Language. It doesn't really apply to English as we speak it in Ireland in the twenty-first century but it's still a powerful piece of prose.

William Claxton's book of photographs from 1960, Jazz Life. One you might enjoy.

It works well with the middle movement from Ravel's Piano Concerto in G, for some reason.
Obviously that's just a personal opinion.

Dali was certainly a unique individual.
Before he painted the great surrealist work he painted Girl at a Window. If you like Dali you might like the image.

Very interesting, however in Offaly,two miles south of Tullamore, evidence has recenty been found of Jesus' great-grand-nephew bringing the sport of handball to Ireland around 114 AD. Written in Ogham on the wall of a handball alley. His name was Cyril, apparently.

Shakespeare's plots were lifted from earlier writers. Maybe UK writers should burn his first Folio.

After the chaos brought upon Europe by Brexit do you honestly think the EU wants Britain back? We don't.
