Of course, in reality, three older women would have the sense to just put cushions from home on the sleds, instead of buying sh!t they don’t need.

This year, say no to buying sh!t you don’t need, say no to funding the billionaires who fund fascism, just say no.

Shop small, shop local.

One part of Drumpf’s misogynistic stoopidity today is kind of amusing.

Tylenol is owned by Kenvue, a Johnson & Johnson subsidiary whose shareholders include those big private equity funds that have been backing MAGA.

“I said it, don’t take Tylenol” won’t really help their equity stake 😉

Every picture tells a story….

This story took fifteen years since we first planted our orchard.

It was worth waiting for, the blend of just two Apple varieties is just delicious.

A lot of work and love went into these bottles!

“Ireland among the worst countries for using chemical fertilisers”.

Another farming headline fixed 😉

Another absolute belter of a morning in Cork!

( or as Cork Beo would say, “another washout of a bank holiday weekend, as weather warnings ruin plans”.)

A great day to enjoy our beautiful Greenways, this is the one between Glanmire and Carrigtwohill.

People!

Would you please chill your jets with the warnings of rain!
You do this every bank holiday and people are trying to make a living with outdoor businesses.

There is rain forecast AFTER 6pm tomorrow evening, not day!

Please ease off on the misery angle, we need a lump of positivity not this

The perfectly recreated galleon “Andalusia” is visiting Cork.

An example of that country’s pride and awareness of her maritime history.

She is moored alongside the historic customs buildings in Cork.
An example of this city’s contempt for its maritime history.

Sold and allowed to rot

Seriously?

One of the most effective Irish protests against the apartheid system of South Africa was when the Dunnes Stores workers refused to handle South African products.

Irish importers are STILL buying Russian fertiliser and Israeli technology while innocent children burn.

Stop funding war crimes.

Perfect timing for a spot of rain.
Acres of tightly cut fields, waiting for a good watering a day after silage day.
You can hear tractors in the distance, still working hard to get all the grass cut.

Warm bread from the oven with a pot of coffee and the background noise of fields of grass being harvested.

Perfect.
