Donncha Ó CaoimhThe Calm Before The DayThe sun rose this morning a few minutes after 7am, but this is what the sky looked like about 8 minutes before.

Donncha Ó CaoimhSeagull’s Perch on Wallis BuoyAh, the majestic Wallis buoy. It's a beacon of maritime sophistication and seagull real estate. On my way to Sherkin Island, I came upon this floating masterpiece, complete with a solar panel that probably powers the seagull’s Netflix subscription. The bird, perched confidently atop its throne, seemed to be enforcing the 6 km speed limit with all the authority of a traffic warden who’s had one too many cups of tea. <a href="https://inphotos.org/2025/03/28/seagulls-perch-on-wallis-buoy/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://inphotos.org/2025/03/28/seagulls-perch-on-wallis-buoy/</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/photo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photo</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Cork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cork</a>

Donncha Ó CaoimhRural Banter in CorkTucked away on the serene Sherkin Island in County Cork, I stumbled upon a timeless moment that felt plucked from another era.

Colin PurringtonJust a random product recommendation for wine fans: splurge on The Durand. The device has a stupid name and is expensive ($145), but it is capable of extracting corks that are almost disintegrated. You first use the spiral corker, then slide in the two-pronged puller. Super handy if you encounter old bottles of wine. I take it with me to BYOB restaurants so that I don't have to watch in horror as waiter corks the bottle with a standard device. <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/wine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wine</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/cork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cork</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/alcohol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alcohol</a>
