Heading up to Dublin on the local commuter train…
The interior of The Counter, Sussex Street, Dublin.
Once upon a time, a couple / few decades ago, this was an Italian restaurant called Tosca. One night @petermorwood, Ronald D. Moore and I dodged in here out of a rainstorm. I was okay because I had a hat. The boys… not so much. They had to head downstairs and dry their hair (quite a lot of it, in Ron’s case…) under the hand dryer in the men’s room.
It was a great dinner, though. Ah, memories…. 🙂
Here is the Duckie of Light. He lives on our broadband connector. He channels the sunbeam that falls on him through the nearby Venetian blinds at certain times of year.
We do not touch the Duckie. We leave him exactly where he is, so that (when the time is ripe) he can conduct the Light.
…There’s almost certainly a moral here somewhere, but I haven’t had my tea yet.

A year ago today, we were sat waiting for the world premiere of @GoodOmensPrime to start.
