Book alert for all the #IrishGenealogy folks. I love O'Farrell's writing, and her next book is about a father and son working on the Ordnance Survey. Historical fiction is a great way to help us imagine what life was like for our ancestors. people.com/maggie-o-far...

In Ireland, there are 122 landlords with 101+ tenancies. A further 130 with 50-101 tenancies. There is quite literally no need for anyone to own that much property.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

This is a long shot, but I'm in Limerick regional hospital with my mum and she'd be a lot more comfortable with an electric fan but the hospital doesn't have one to spare. Would anybody out there have one I could borrow?

I have obtained a copy of the Flood Advisory issued by Met Éireann to local authorities today showing an orange level flood risk for many parts of East and South. I cannot see why it is not made public as I believe it is in the public interest to share it so I am sharing it.
