Scarf and MOLI Friday evening.

Seeing the Ulyseses number one (first copy of first printing) got me choked up, I'll admit it!

Very interesting

Extractor fan bulb cover I spent £30 on

Extractor fan bulb cover beside the real one I spent £40 on after releasing I had ordered the wrong part number

If anyone here is looking for a Whirlpool brand extractor fan bulb cover (just not the one on my extractor fan) hit me up.

I fucked up so badly.

Eleanor heard "Old Man" for the first time like 2 weeks and keeps randomly singing it walking around the house. It's hard for me to imagine a world where I hadn't heard Old Man. It's like if I hadn't heard of trees or the colour orange.

"Hot in Herre" is a song by American rapper Nelly, released as the lead single from his second album, Nellyville (2002). It was released on May 7, 2002, by Universal Records. It was written by Nelly, Charles Brown, and the producers the Neptunes. It features additional vocals by former labelmate Dani Stevenson and incorporates Chuck Brown's 1979 single "Bustin' Loose",[1] Neil Young's 1972 song "There's a World", and Nancy Sinatra's 1966 cover of the Rolling Stones' "As Tears Go By".[2] "Hot in Herre" is widely considered to be Nelly's signature song, along with the worldwide hit "Dilemma".[3][4]

Listening to Harvest and when There's a World came on Eleanor immediately clocked it as the Hot in Herre intro

Youtube comment "I’m 64 and I would not trade my upbringing for anything .we were before cell phones. People to people."

It's like this sometimes

If you smell toast, you might be having a stroke... a stroke of luck that is. It’s toast time.

Vsevolod Plotkin World Tour of Scotland and Ulster: Belfast, Edinburgh, Dundee and Glasgow

Espresso with digital thermometer rig reading "55°c". Glass of water also on the same slate.

I ordered an espresso at an intense café in Inchicore and they brought out this digital thermometer rig, which was a fun surprise. "Start at 50° but 45° would really be the peak". I drank it in 2 gulps at 44° 👍

Anyone spot a cyclist (me) knocked off her bike along the canal at drimnagh today by someone who drove away? If you got a reg I’d love the help to report them! @ibike.ie

Some readers told us that the online bidding systems they had to use to buy their houses set minimum bidding increments of €2,000 and more. One reader bought a house in Dublin last year after a three-way bidding war that saw the price rise to €45,000 above the asking price – near the top of his budget. The estate agent, Madden Property, only allowed bids at a minimum increase of €2,000 on its online platform. “The price crept up quickly,” the reader said. “At the height, there were three or four bids per day.” This went on for two weeks. The reader said he has no doubt that the online platform increased the ultimate price he paid. Madden Property has been contacted for comment

Very interesting

I'm watching Olympic figure skating for the first time since I was like 10 years old and Jesus Christ the men are cheeked up.
