The Swan Whisperer of Galway
If you’ve ever wandered down to the Claddagh in Galway, you’ll know the swans are less “graceful wild creatures” and more “assertive locals who know exactly when the bread’s coming out.”
That’s what happened on this day in 2005 when we visited and saw a young woman feeding those swans. Other birds wanted crumbs of bread too! Now we know that bread is not an ideal food for birds. Green vegetables are better for them.

Nothing beats the 3-hour trip to the causeway on the other side of the city to gather some periwinkles. Rain, sun, and lashing rain all at the same time.
That’s for dinner.

Swans and Long Walk

Galway, 6 PM: we’re having dinner in the backyard, listening to the sound of running water. By the looks of it, our neighbor left their hose on. It has been running for at least 3 hours, maybe even longer.
It’s Galway. The city is not yet under the hose ban, but we’re next in line according to Uisce Éireann.
Sometimes I think that the free water doesn’t do any good for the public.

Intense reading of Hardiman’s history of Galway and a deep dive into the bloodline of Elizabeth de Burgh (b. 1332) have drawn me to the unexpected conclusion that the Burkes of Castlebar are related to King Charles III.
Another unexpected conclusion is that the grandmother—18 times removed—of King Charles III was living in Galway (and secured the investments from the British monarch to complete the first Galway city wall)

[09:27] HIE incidents at Portiuncula higher than expected - HSE
A Regional Executive Officer with the HSE has said that the rate of referrals for hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) at Portiuncula University Hospital in Galway last year was higher than would have been expected.

Today, Máire Ní Fhátharta was found by volunteers on Silverstrand Beach, not far from where she went missing in the foggy morning of 12th November.
May she rest in peace.

Latest reports are that there's been fairly steady falls of #sneachta in Mayo (Westport) and Galway - AND IT'S STICKING!!

Hundreds of volunteers are walking the rocky tidal zone of Silverstrand in search of Máire Ní Fhátharta, who has been missing since Tuesday.
More help is needed to bring Máire home.
With the spring tides waning, Monday will be crucial for searching for her, as the low tide provides access to most of the ocean floor. Please come and take part in the scheduled searches if you’re near #Galway and can help in any way.

Got a lift for the night search down at Silverstrand. Hundreds of people volunteered for the search, and more are needed.
If you are in Galway and can help, please look for updates at https://m.facebook.com/clganspideal/.
I will be looking for a lift from Galway to the evening/night search tomorrow. DM me if you are going and have a spare seat in your car.

Looking for someone in #Galway who is driving to the Silverstrand search tonight. I need a lift from Galway to the Spiddal pitch for the evening search (starts 15:30)
Please reply/dm if you have a place in your car.

Now, that is impressive even for me (and I’ve been to Arctic many times)

In case you're interested, I found the Merlin's Sheela na Gig. My OSINT skills proved useful here.
It's on the south wall, the lowest ogee window.
She's tiny, but you can just see her sitting upside down on a shield. Didn’t have my camera with me, so only mobile photoPlease be nice to her if you come to visit; she is the tiniest one in #Ireland.

During my efforts to locate Merlin Castle's Sheela na Gig, I stumbled upon the Digital Heritage project (https://www.digitalheritageage.com/) that includes 3D models of various Irish archaeological and historical objects. Here is their #Galway catalogue: (https://sketchfab.com/galway3d). I wish they included the Lynch Castle figures, but this one is good too, and you can actually look up close and personal at Merlin's Sheela na Gig here: (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/merlin-park-sheela-na-gig-dafa6e042ab34ff5b7d045f134f739b7).
