My mother likes miniatures. She’s 5 foot tall and believes nothing in the world should be any bigger than it needs to be. She is constantly trimming things - tote bags, sleeping bags, walking polls. She loves birds, but only the little ones #smallisbeautiful

2 garden bird feeders hooked on a poll, protected from large birds by an umbrella, attached to the poll with cable ties.

A garden feeder surrounded by a cage, to limit access for all but the smallest birds.

Cantóirí Choir Ireland @cantoiri.bsky.social · 23d

Cantóirí are back for our autumn/winter term, with rehearsals Monday nights in Ranelagh, Dublin 6. We have a pretty full choir this year, but do have room for a couple more basses. For more information contact: [email protected]

Cantóirí choir group shot - approx. 30 people in smart black clothes with colourful Gerbera lapel pins.

There are over 18,000 types of lichen in existence. My personal favourite is ‘village bench lichen’, which devotes its entire existence selflessly to gradually making communal public seating more furry and comfortable.

This was great fun. Complete with fake moustaches and BYOB drinks and snacks. 👨🏻🎤🍿

Cantóirí Choir Ireland @cantoiri.bsky.social · Aug 31

We had a lovely time at The Dot Private Cinema yesterday - a singalong showing of the Bohemian Rhapsody movie, as an end of summer choir social, to catch up and get us in the mood for our return to new-term rehearsals next week. Highly recommend The Dot as a venue for parties of any/all ages.

Photo of the front entrance of The Dot Private Theatre in Dublin City centre. There’s a white and grey wall, with an A4 poster of the visual for the Bohemian Rhapsody movie and text on it saying “a special showing of Bohemian Rhapsody for Cantóirí”. There’s a gold coloured glitter ball hanging over the sign.
