In bloom. 🔥☕️

I do enjoy the simplicity and quietness of a Trangia stove in bloom, the slow boil a pan of water and a tea light candle for added warmth.

There will be coffee!

Could do with nudging that clear spot this way a bit. 😐
Could be a map view, basically cloud cover over Ireland up across Scotland with a little gap over the sea south of Cork. Not great aurora watching weather.

Odd editing decision at the end there. 📷😑🫣
Screenshot from the end of the trailer of actor Brendan Gleeson in a landscape holding a camera. The footage gas been flipped horizontally so he appears to be looking to his right. This makes the camera ‘left handed’, which it isn’t. It looks odd. And is. This is done to ‘fit the flow’ from the previous scene in the trailer, as if a conversation were happening. Strange visual choice for the end scene of the trailer. Same screenshot of actor Brendan Gleeson in a landscape holding a camera looking to his left, this time flipped back horizontally, his right hand positioned as you would. For reference, another screenshot earlier in the trailer. Actor Claire Foy at the pulpit, in the background a framed photo of Brendan Gleeson holding a camera up to his eye, his right hand ready to press the shutter button his left hand under the lens. Normal like.

Artist and author, the late Tomi Ungerer book signing at the West Cork Literary Festival, Bantry. Photographer John Minihan in Hacketts Bar with his Rollei during the Fastnet Film Festival. I was lucky with this light leak, it could’ve been much worse when my camera strap broke and the camera fell tapping the ground but thanks to a quick reaction, not a full force crash. The Rollei both photos were made with.

The end.

#HoneyPot #Bees 🍯🐝🚙
The portable hive loaded onto the back seat of the car to be taken to their new home. Great fun going through every worst case scenario before we set off on the 10 kilometer drive in tbe dark with a box full of bees.

The Bee Collectors.

See Alt-text throught the thread.

#HoneyPot #Bees 🍯🐝
The portable beehive left over night to give the bees a chance to settle and those out and about a chance to return home. A small collection of honey combs and honey for the taste test. The taste test. Best honey I’ve tasted. The last bee home. Of course throughout out photographing this I had the pleasure of receiving three stings. Deservedly so. A little momemto. Nice to discover I’m not allergic. A few days later and the sting areas are still a little tender. Respect little bees. Respect.

#HoneyPot #Bees 🍯🐝
Close up of honey comb covered with bees held by green gloved hands. Isolating the Queen Bee in her own little pod, a little like a hair clip. I’m sure there are technical names for all the equipment. The Queen Bee in her pod on the racks of honey combs in the portable hive to takethem off to their new home. The rest if the hive gather around her. Backlit honey comb.

The Bee Collectors.

#HoneyPot #Bees 🍯🐝
The Bee Collectors arrive suited up. I was about to leave the house to meet friends when these two turned up. So I went out to ask where the swarm / hive was and would they mind if I photographed them. The hive is in an old compost bin in my neighbour’s back garden. Which he discovered when he went to move it. Under the hood. The honey combs were made hanging down from the lid of the compost bin. The first honey comb lifted out covered in bees. This is where the Quuen Bee was hanging out.

Natalia Beylis & Eimear Reidy in Levis Corner House, Ballydehob. 18 July 2025

As seen along the piano keys, Natalia plays piano. Sitting at the other end Eimear plays cello. Both would be facing each other, but they’re not.

We set off for the theatre yesterday.

The theatre.

The play.

#FitUp #Theatre #HeirIsland #DonWycherly #OutdoorTheatre 🎭🌞🏝️
Five rows of chairs for about 100 people with the first three taking their seats on the left. A lone arm chair faces them. Beyond, blue skies, the sea, islands and Ireland. The same scene of five rows of chairs for about 100 people with most of the seats occupied. Still the empty lone arm chair faces them. Beyond, blue skies, the sea, islands and Ireland. We heading towards sunset. The same scene, after the play the five rows of chairs for about 100 people are being collected and returned to the hall. A couple of groups chat. Beyond, blue skies, the sea, islands and Ireland. The sun still to set. Page from the Fit Up Theatre program: ‘Paddy: The live and times of Paddy Armstrong’ performed by Don Wycherly. “Fifty years after his wrongful conviction, at the age of 74, Paddy is facing into his twilight years and wrestling with a thousand turbulent memories. In Paddy he relives the journey that forever altered his destiny. A one-man show, starring Don Wycherley as Paddy, the play is inspired by Paddy's memoir Life After Life, a Guildford Four Memoir (2017). Paddy is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of forgiveness, reminding us that the privilege of freedom and love, family and everyday life can restore us and mend the scars of even the most savage injustice.” Go see it.

The poet Trevor Joyce in Callanan’s bar, Cork back in the day.

If I remember correctly, this was the launch of Trevor’s book: ‘What’s In Store’ (¿?)

I’ve the C21… going good for the past year. Got the rack & extender battery with it.

Bike arrived pretty quick , other 2 parts took a bit longer even though all ordered together

Plenty of spares available too.

Keep an eye out for deals though!
