  1. Two Screens, One Corner

    The man on the corner had his phone in one hand and a child's white puffa coat over the other arm, which tells you roughly how the morning was going. Across the square a woman stood next to the brick wall in the same posture, head down, thumb moving. They weren't together, so the matching was just chance. Twenty years ago they'd have stood there bored. Nobody under that age remembers a world without mobile screens. My first one was the Samsung Galaxy S2. I loved that phone!

  2. Hand in Hand on a Valencia Pavement

    Fingers loosely laced, a thin ring catching the light and that small contact is the whole picture.

  3. Sunset arrival, weeks before the world stopped

    A Jet2 737 comes in low over the beach at Playa Honda, undercarriage down, engines glowing pink in the dying light. The approach-lighting pier marches out from the lava coast like an unfinished bridge, each platform waiting to flash its sequence and guide the next arrival onto runway 03 at Arrecife. I took this in January 2020, a few short weeks before the word "Covid" started elbowing its way into every conversation and the holiday traffic into Lanzarote dried up almost overnight. Looking […]

  4. The Geometry of Retail

    I was having a coffee and scone at the café in the Cornmarket Centre when I spotted the circles on the roof. Apparently they are acoustic baffles to absorb sound waves and echoes. I guess it is quite a large enclosed area..

  5. There’s no such thing as a safe tan

    The What’s Up Docs podcast from the BBC is an entertaining but factual podcast about health presented by two doctors, Chris and Xand van Tulleken (brothers and twins!) who find out to their dismay that they were wrong about the dangers of getting a nice healthy colour from the sun.

    A tan occurs when UV radiation damages skin cells, causing them to produce more melanin as a protective response. This process involves DNA damage to skin cells, which can accumulate over time and potentially lead to skin cancer.

    Sunburn is obviously harmful and painful. Even one blistering sunburn in childhood can double your lifetime risk of melanoma.

    It’s a bit late for my Irish readers, as we had cloudless skies and a hot sun last week. Temperatures reached 25C where I was, so I slapped on the factor 50 sunscreen and made sure I was wearing a hat when I was outside. Many years ago, a neighbour died of skin cancer at the age of 52, only a few years older than I am now.

    The Met Éireann UV Index page will show you what the UV index in Ireland is. If it’s 3 or over, you should be covering up with clothing or sunscreen. It’s quite alarming that the difference between a clear sky and a cloudy sky is 1-2 or 8-10 on that index.

  6. The remains of the pier where people boarded boats to take them to the Titanic and other ships. 123 people left Cobh here to board the Titanic that was moored off Roche’s Point, at the mouth of the harbour.

    In March 2018, plans were approved for an observation walkway and ticket kiosk, but thankfully they were rejected in April 2019.

  7. The Samuel Beckett Bridge in Dublin and the lights of the Convention Centre Dublin fight for attention. Red and Green lights reflect off the River Liffey on a warm October evening earlier this year.
