The Phoenix Park's year topiary is having a slow start to 2025 due to the cold weather (I assume?), so welcome back to 202!
(It is important to note that @shevyf.bsky.social predicted this and she was, as she often is, correct!)

101 years later, Jack B Yeats' Liffey Swim - www.nationalgallery.ie/art-and-arti... - is still a reasonably accurate view of the event. The clothes have changed a bit, but honestly, on a sunny day like today, more people should be wearing hats!

I was in the area for #Eastercon, so I took a side trip to Ironbridge. I was last there in the mid-80s and it's been too long. What an absolutely stunning feat of 1779 (or any era) engineering! I adore this bridge.

The real "trolley problem"... This picture actually shows the better "after" picture. Before we told staff about it all of the trolleys were connected together and you'd need 2 €1 coins to separate them out.

My wonderful wife bought the complete Mass Effect comics for me for my birthday, only started it today. Opens with a story about Liara, so a great start! Almost 800 pages of story in a graphic suitable for home defence, looking forward to all of it!
