Hi @darach.bsky.social , found this photo of the five lamps, North Strand.
Now I know what was there before the school was built, but now I need to know what was there before the houses were 😂😎

From an exhibition in the Irish museum of modern art (IMMA) in Kilmainham, Dublin.
No, my photo was not the exhibit, but a photo of an art installation piece.
I wish.

I am today yrs old to learn of a 'Londonbridge' road in Dublin. I kind of knew of York, but maybe not Cambridge roads.
History hidden in plain sight.

My daughter scolded me for wanting to take this picture, and in fairness I didn't want to have the man in it.
But a day later, I think this was framed correct, with the man giving more life to the scene.
Dublin, St Stephens green, 2 minutes after a rainpour.

Returned to the library yesterday.
Simple advice, and already on a 5 in a row, morning streak of writing.
No agenda
Just short paragraphs
Disconnected from each other but joined by the ideas generated overnight and wrote as they arrive
Highly recommended to any aspiring authors.

+20°C running conditions this morning in the #Irish_life_race_series 10k run.
Went out thinking due to conditions a sub 1hr would suit. Sub 55min was NOT on the cards.
Thrilled with the result.
