I don’t know if they flipped a coin but the decision probably had something to do with the paperwork and the midwife’s teabreak. Having said that, the indecision…the midnight hour…the workaday Friday versus the leisurely Saturday probably explains a lot…about who isadubis.

It’s Sunday evening and I’m wondering what programme will caress me gently into sleep mode before tomorrow’s return to work. Hmm, Channel 6 have a listing for “Law and Order” at 9.30pm. Now I like Law & Order, but there’s so many repeats on so many TV stations that I like to check in advance what episode I’ll be watching.

Channel 6’s website is weird and very non-functional. For example, their main page advertises ‘The Airfield Sessions’ (live music) but doesn’t tell me when it starts or when it’s on*. Crucially, I can’t find any info on what tonight’s episode of Law & Order is about.

Heck, they don’t even have listings for Sat or Sunday…but they do have pretty girls** who present the music videos. So that’s alright then!

* Update – There’s no link on the main page but there is this page but it’s effectively a dead link!
** Are there any male presenters (not voiceover) on Channel 6?

Maybe they should call the station Chanel 6?

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?

Feile na Deise

‘So what?’, says you. Well…

RIAI’s 3rd annual ‘Simon Open door’ Fundraising Initiative.

Participating RIAI architects throughout Ireland will open their offices on Saturday, 28 April and give members of the public an hour’s consultation with an architect in return for a donation to Simon of €60. Some Waterford RIAI Members will host a stand at the RIAI Irish Architecture Awards Exhibition in the Waterford Institute of Technology from 9am – 1pm on Saturday 28th as part of this year’s John Roberts Festival.

There will also be some Waterford county architects holding consultation in their own offices. Therefore if you need a consultation with an architect that’s where to find them!

It’s an opportunity for you to support the Simon Community and also have a nice day out as well. Have a look at the festival’s programme and I reckon you’ll find something interesting to do.

But the reason why it’s one of my favourite pics is the expression of the Garda (police officer). He probably joined the Guards out of some sort of civic duty. Catch the criminals and right the wrongs of society. Maybe even help the public live peaceful lives. Instead, he gets to safeguard the crime scene of, what, criminal damage? Foaming without a licence?

All those years spent fighting playing on a GAA pitch and it’s come to this. He’s so fed up, he can’t even talk to his mate colleague.

Best viewed large.

Although the amount of teenagers drunk/getting drunk during the afternoon was a bit worrying. Then again, I am getting old!

I took quite a few photos today and eventually, I’ll add them to a flickr set called Paddy’s Day 2007.

So I return the call.

You know you’re in trouble when your mother tries to set you up with her hairdresser. “Lovely woman, very friendly, separated, 10 year child … and she’s my (i.e., her) neighbour“.

Guess what I’m doing Sunday.

I know they’re GAA posts in the Phoenix Park but the rugby match is being played in Croke Park, innit.
