29 October 2024: Comb Massacre
My basic comb was not strong enough to withstand Noirin's curls.

28 October 2024: Recycling
Time to put the recycling bin out for collection in the morning.

27 October 2024: Spider
I'd sooner see one of these than the real thing.

26 October 2024: Donuts
Not a popular cure for the common cold but it brought me some much-needed comfort.

25 October 2024: Reflection
I've always really liked the reflection of a bridge in a still river.

24 October 2024: Scott
I don't know who Scott is but this came in handy for blowing my nose.

23 October 2024: St Mary's Place
This street was looking quite lovely in the morning light.

22 October 2024: Rates
I haven't needed to exchange any money for ages so I've no idea why I stopped to check the exchange rates.

21 October 2024: End
The dreaded end of the "pyro" setting on the oven, which means it's time to open it up and complete the clean.

20 October 2024: Birthday Brownie
Noirin made an incredible giant brownie.

19 October 2024: Lockwood Cup 2024
This year's Lockwood Cup was a huge affair, with 4 teams of 8 competing for the coveted trophy.

18 October 2024: Pint
It's tradition for Noirin to buy her kids a pint of Guinness when they turn 18.

17 October 2024: Emmett's 18th
Emmett turned 18 today!

16 October 2024: Grey Street Seating
There's a new seating area on Grey Street, apparently for us to reflect on those who designed the street.

15 October 2024: Clock Tower
I never noticed until now that the tower on the old Co-op building had a clock on it.

14 October 2024: Olive Oil
A friend bought us a 5 litre bottle of olive oil!

13 October 2024: Fleece
I got this fleece in a sale recently. It's super comfy and was the perfect clothing for a lazy Sunday.

12 October 2024: Pizza Tonno
Can't go wrong with a tuna pizza from Amici.

11 October 2024: McSunset
I was trying to take a photo of the beautiful sunset from the bus but the M snuck into the shot.

10 October 2024: Backwards
It took me a while to decipher this from the outside.

9 October 2024: Steve Ghostin
Steve Austin is wearing his Halloween costume.

8 October 2024: Too Early
I cannot accept a Christmas message in October.

7 October 2024: Old Railway Line
I spent a day off work walking to the airport, although I didn't have my passport so I had to get the metro back home. Part of the walk involved walking along the old railway line.

6 October 2024: Halloween Food
I was lured in by the garish orange display.

5 October 2024: Farm Equipment
Every so often I think I might like to work on a farm, then I see some massive piece of machinery like this and realise it's not for me.

4 October 2024: Boat
I'm sure this looks lovely when it has flowers in it.

3 October 2024: Not a Urinal
It's pretty depressing that this has to be stated.

2 October 2024: Symptoms
I'm proud to report that I could enter, if it was currently open.

1 October 2024: Oreo Coke Zero
I didn't take the hint from a friend who had already tried this and said it was horrible. Instead, I risked it myself and managed about 4 sips before I couldn't go any further. It definitely has that oreo taste but I couldn't get round the mental battle of it being in fizzy liquid form.
