In the early 2000s, one of the team in Teagasc in Kinsealy grew blueberries in the polytunnels. Irish grown blueberries only available for a month or two each year.
Had to decide buying blueberries last week who I loved the most - Pedro Pascal (Chile) or Paddington (Peru). Tough call.

The only adaptation of any book that was “as good as” for me is To Kill A Mockingbird. Robert Duvall would agree. 💙

Hiya! I was one of your post 3pm visitors! Delighted to get my hands on the little (lost) Blue Book of the Monto. Here's that pic of the Blue Book from New Orleans. Some, ahem, very beautifully descriptive language used inside its covers!

I should add we were blasting Sure Shot from Ill Communication at the time, a bag of "strawberry shoelaces" sweets between us and going to pick up her friend Karen, who worked at Disney Anaheim and was the Snow White character at the park. Heady days, if only I'd known.

The Irish Times, The Journal, RTE ... too much exposure. The only person given this much publicity in the last week or two is Tubbs. God, I wish they'd update their bloody contacts and SPEAK TO OTHER PEOPLE!! (sorry for shouting)

Bloody hell, an eventful night! You okay?!? (I'm saying/writing that A LOT these past few days) Hope the rest of your time in Rome (they're away to Napoli tonight, otherwise I'd say go the Stadio for the match) is a calmer but lovely affair. Go get coffee in Sant' Eustsachio! Happy birthday! 🎂

The major takeaway from this post and the comments below is a quote from the film "Angel Heart" - There's just enough religion in the world to make men hate one another, but not enough to make then love one another.
