I have been meaning to write a bit about Ireland's current economic travails, for the benefit of my foreign readers, but I am finding the subject a bit too depressing. So instead, here are two cheering links:
Irish government faces growing fears of debt default (Guardian, yesterday)
Bank guarantee likely to deal a crippling blow to the economy (Irish Times, today)

Did I ever tell you that I used to study International Relations?

With a nod to "We're livin' in the last days now", the Guardian page when I looked had a link to a sequence of photos of a heron eating a duck.

I once saw a mummy and daddy coot chasing a grey heron away from their young.
In fail news, I am somewhat reissured to read that the British are suddenly starting to worry about the blank cheques their government has written for their banks. We are all in this together.
