@fogarty_p @PrePay_tweets I don't know the answer to this, but do check the rates before going for it. Usually you pay more per energy unit with prepay.

@Samtm023 @corkcitycouncil Was there only yesterday and struck me how the two are not coordinated. Saying that, needed the car to get to hospital in the first place 😬

Pedestrians get approx. 15 *seconds" to cross this 7 lane stroad after waiting up to 10 minutes for a green walk signal. Right outside one of Ireland's busiest hospitals. Welcome to Cork!

Today's #equinox signals the start of #autumn in the northern hemisphere. Are the leaves colouring yet? With this change in the seasons, carotenoids and anthocyanins become more prominent in senescing leaves for yellow, orange and red colouring.

This is very impressive and looks a lot of fun. Artist Ernesto Neto's SunForceOceanLife, at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston is a massive crocheted suspended walkway that you can climb trhough. Anyone fancy making their own? mymodernmet.com/ernesto-neto-c…

Can plants talk? Some people believe so. Either way plants are the basis of our future... bbc.com/future/article… via @BBC_Future

Go and see this if you have a chance!

Very proud to have contributed to this project! The project started four years ago, now summarised in 61 pages.

A beautiful plant - common enough on damp ground. Food plant for Orange-tip and Green-veined White #FarmlandBiodiversity

@Archiewonderdog Hand-wash with gloves on and really hot water?

@SewofCourse Neither are mine, I just have a thing about bathroom cleaning cloths not mixing with anything else. I’m sick of them hanging round in a bag until there’s enough of them to warrant putting a wash on.

This is perhaps a slightly odd question but (I’m going to ask it anyway), how do you wash the cloths you use for cleaning the bathroom?

@Archiewonderdog I understand... I rinse really well and throw in the wash, but then again my housekeeping standards are not perfect. I do wash cloths, towels, tea towels etc together, and bedding on their own.

@SewofCourse I do, but I can’t face putting a cloth from the bathroom in the microwave that I cook food in. Daft, I know, but... I wash all my towels and bedding on a 60 wash, but don’t have enough towels to do two separate washes (one for kitchen and one for bathroom).

@trashalou Different from mine then after all 😂

Just bought a car. They call it brown. I call it Olde Golde. Its name will be Yoda Sketti.

@StrangeAttract5 @BadAstronomer @elakdawalla @bald It's gloves that are called hand shoes in Dutch... 😁

My brother @bald asked me for a denim mask and I’m not sure whether he was kidding or not (I’m never sure) but dang I’m proud of the execution. Can’t wait to see it on him. #EmilysMask
