I wish I knew what it’s proper name was?

Didn’t really do anything special but the day’s gone already. Went for a swim, went to Dollymount to try out my new camera lens, went home, read the newspapers and, err…, that’s about it!

Apart from liking my new lenses a lot, I can’t decide what was the other highlight of my day.

I saw a Bentley with a taxi plate (no cheap leatherette for him) and a woman with a Superman/Kryptonite tatoo on her ankle (vaguely sexy).

Now that I think about it, that’s probably how a Sunday should be?

breakingnews reports that Woman dies after camel sits on her

Her husband was reported as saying that “She wouldn’t let an animal suffer.”

The camel was called Polo.

Some things are best left unsaid so I’ll probably moderate comments if you make one that’s NSFW! This photo was taken in Dublin Zoo at the weekend. It was hilarious to listen to the comments that parents made to each other and the (ever so) slightly different comments that children made to their parents.
