Oil being delivered next door. My 3 year old was in our garden. As the delivery man was dragging the oil hose through next doors garden, she roared over to offer him “a wee go of the baby’s dummy?” He replied dead seriously, “no you’re grand I’m only after one”

Both were delighted with themselves

Fascinating talk by @clancyandrew.bsky.social on their Arklow waste water treatment project at the RIAI Conference this morning. I think there may be some more waste water plant Architecture nerds after today.😁

Temple Bar Bookshop today for €4. German Church Architecture of the 20th Century (1964). In 1990 while visiting the Gedächtniskirche in Berlin I nodded off in the church. (Okay a late night, early morning of Berlin nightlife may have helped). Very politely asked to leave... 🤭

A #painting from a happy time. "Derryreel 4" is a north County Donegal work of the hills that were directly behind the cottage where I briefly lived with my little American dog. This is the far side, where we would walk through the bog on an old railway line. #ArtYear #MountainMonday #SpeirGhorm

Landscape format in heavily textured acrylics on mat board. Under a sky of white and grey is two hills, brown with on the hill on the right a couple of stand out straight edged green fields and on the golden brown hill on the left a small wooded plantation rendered as dark green with blue blobs, also in an area with straight edges. The foreground is a yellow-green field with a stone wall around it, and along the bottom an orange field with dark blue showing through the broken brush strokes. Due to the heavy texture there is a lot of broken colour throughout the painting.

Setting 2037 as the target date, which will mark Midosuji’s 100th anniversary, the City of Osaka has revealed plans to fully pedestrianize its main arterial—shifting it from car-centric to a world-leading people-centric street that gives new space for residents to connect and create value together.🧵

Photos of an orange and white exhibition consisting of photos and Japanese characters, on the theme “Dutch Cycling Culture”, set up along a busy foot and cycle path in the centre of Osaka.
