I used to rant about service & UX design leadership stuff & Dublin City, now it’s mostly cycling & Dun Laoghaire (and darned pavement parking!) with 3 little kids.
Taking up an ecar space and not charging their car.

I was there when the Garda returned, not an emergency situation at all, strolling around so he was.

@garda.ie please do better.

Just a hawk casually eating dinner on my parents’ back garden wall.

If your green bike’s back wheel/mudguard got damaged yesterday at Sandycove beach that mini is the car that did it. Ignored my request to leave you a note. Sorry I couldn’t do more, 3 tiny kids to contain and get into our own bike amidst the chaos. Repost please @dlrcycling.bsky.social

Fire trucks in Japan are smaller than SUVs in Ireland.

I love how potential moments of friction in public services are proactively minimised in Japan helping everything run more efficiently and keep things smooth for all users.

This at a local bus stop often used by tourists.

In Tokyo people are allowed cycle on the paths. Pedestrians don’t seem to stick strictly to one side but no one seems annoyed with each other. They calmly go around. Definitely enabled by the wide paths but still pretty miraculous to see the calm.

Cool bike spotting. Never seen one like this before!

My new definition of 15 minute neighbourhood includes the ability to have a 6 mins stroll to the NY fireworks! Kids home & in bed by 8.30 😀🎆

The almost free winter lights merrion square keep getting better each year, mostly because they’re focusing on making it interactive. The sheer joy of this.

And the Nebulax piñata the kids helped me make to go with it!

Just a little Astro Bot cake I made last week, it’s a new game & I couldn’t find many inspiration images. Sharing for the next mum desperately googling at 1am 😂

Yes I cycled my kid to school today. That light drizzle was actually hail.

And after 3 hours stuck in a car yesterday it was a breath of (very!) fresh air.
