@Gilleeece It’s incredible that people can say whatever evil thing they want these days.

Just had such an uplifting Teams meeting with other 1920s /1930s enthusiasts / academics. Feel really energised. V. excited about book we are doing on modern women & leisure in jazz age Ireland. We were talking about Anna May Wong, Marlene Dietrich & Metropolis (fave subjects)…

I don’t use ‘X’ anymore, except to say @LyricFm: no need to keep apologising for playing Christmas music as is still very much c.mas and last week was c.mas week so I don’t understand what the issue is? I love the music you have been playing yest. & today. 🎄

What a fantastic & exciting time the 1930s were for architecture, when new mass leisure needed new building types, w. everyone buying into it. I just love the style of these buildings. So lucky to have had time to read about them for the PhD. ‘Art Deco by the Sea’ exhibition book

Marcel Duchamp with his brothers. I can’t help thinking of the cat hairs 🐱

Cool stamps, Éire.

@TechnicallyRon @Moviddy I love that one!

@MyLovelyHorseR Can’t believe the dog is tied up and the monster is doing that to it. I wish I hadn’t seen this, it’s so upsetting. God that poor dog.

A lot of cafés seem to close at 4pm on Sundays in dublin - I am only noticing it recently. Has it always been the case? It just seems to compound the sense of doom that Sunday evenings produce in me.

@cox_tom Our cat pantouf used to make friends with other cats and bring them home too.

I wonder how many other people were reading ‘The Enchanted April’ with their breakfast and then walked into work thinking about wisteria and sun? I love reading this in spring, and love the film! The costumes 🤍

@RSPBEngland That’s tragic. If that was my hometown I would be absolutely devastated. Things like this could send people over the edge if they have a sensitive disposition!

[Candace White @candacewite]

@Gilleeece Wow! Looks a bit deco.

[Candace White @candacewite]

There are so many funny bits in ‘A Room with a View’ by E.M. Forster. Eg. this one about Lucy’s brother annoying a girl who is visiting: ‘in half a minute he had transformed Minnie from a well-mannered child into a howling wilderness’.

@Steampunk_T Maybe because of all the infections diseases too - did they think nooks and crannies could be harbouring germs?

@BrianLeddin @PaulCostelloeUK @MiriamOCal @RTERadio1 I would love to tell these people that they are lucky those cyclists are not driving cars. Imagine the traffic jams there would be then.

The original Clery’s clock.

[Paul Clerkin - Archiseek.com @archiseek]

I see The Irish Times is now referring to the former Clery's as one of Europe’s oldest purpose-built department stores
Its not even one of Irelands.

And for the record I prefer the earlier clock
