Arrived up this evening to Pops Hiberionacum and he hadn't gone shopping so not much for the dinner, so am making do in the ancient ways of my people...
A picture of gently bubbling home made Coddle. No, YOU shut up you cowards. How do you think we survived the famine in Dublin...

Please enjoy this rare (and meticulously timed archaeo shadowed) photo of Doonfeeney Standing Stone, Co. Mayo, on top of an early medieval ferta that is still used as a graveyard, bathed in sunshine against a mysteriously coloured sky that isn't grey. At the bottom of the standing stone are two inscribed crosses, one of them being a 7thC style Maltese Cross.

That would be an ecumenical matter.
Was St Patrick a Catholic?

A Patrician Bullshit Flowchart diagram ending in unsubstantiated bullshit from people who have listened to one too many Clannd albums. You're welcome.

What do you get that ragged grumpy early medieval apocalyptic hermit, sitting on an ancient burial mound in a ring ditch on fire surrounded by feral sheep, shaking a fist & roaring into an atlantic wind, in your life for Xmas?

This beauty. By @ciaraioch.bsky.social

So much more at: ciaraioch.com
Beautiful original artwork by @ciaraioch . An early medieval irish boat sailing west into the atlantic night, captioned "I will trust in the darkness'.

A potato that has been partially peeled so as to leave the remaining skin resembling a bikini. Shuttup. This is steamy stuff to Irish people.

Connachta...
A packet of Irish crisps called 'King Crisps'. The subtext being, the Kings of Connacht probably have the greatest claim to Early Irish Kingship than other provinces by virtue of antiquity and their good grace to recogise Patrician ecclesiastical hegonomy when they saw it. No, you shut up.

A picture of a bag of irish crisps depicting an anthropomorphic potato. A picture of another bag of irish crisps by the same name which also depicts an anthropomorphic potato.

When you recognise people from the other place...
Meme Pic of Rick Dalton pointing at a screen. To be fair, it's not a great point. Needs a lot more archaeological ooomph. Archaeologists are the best people in the world at pointing on photographs. Usually at holes in the ground. Always after their holes, so they are.
