Re: TMI, I was just listening to Wonder like 15 mins ago and thought how weird it is that I know this info haha

Great travelogue! I’m looking forward to hearing about your time in Belfast!

Have a wonderful trip! Looking forward to hearing about Belfast. It’s been 30 years since I’ve visited that part of the world so I imagine a lot has changed.

Loved your talk today. Nice to see Aubrey Beardsley get a mention. Do you know the work of Harry Clarke? He’s arguably Ireland’s greatest illustrator and similar in style to Beardsley

Lots of, ahem, imagery in this post. It’s that kind of candidness I appreciate from Slowpoke/Machine Shop posts. Thank you.

lmao re: your pilgrimage. I had a similarly iconic experience in an airBNB in Lisbon and I remember just where the building was. Pretty sure I'll mosey back to that spot in 15 years or so to reminisce. Ironically, I was actually on the Camino pilgrimage. What a twist.

I really wanted to attend the CBI conference, but I was unfortunately away at the time. I hope you enjoyed it!

And that large steel structure you photographed is an old rolling lift bridge. Over a hundred years old. I always liked its design and I'm glad it's still there today.
