    Just when I was considering going to bed!

    The Dodder looked very low when I crossed it earlier this evening. I think it'll look a bit different in the morning. If I lived in one of the houses on the riverbank, I'd be sleeping with one eye open ..!

    You don’t have to get out of bed for it.

    Pro tip : every 5 seconds after flash = 1 mile away

    South Dublin? About 3 seconds = 1km to the north of me here in D14.
