It's

She was so iconic. Designed her own fashion label to raise money to fly. She was descended from Derry people so it's all the better that she landed in Gallagher's field having completed the first solo Transatlantic flight by a woman.
And here she is, just after landing.

This is one of my favourite archive films. Look at her!

Awake at 5am worrying about stuff again. It's been a few stressful years and I can start to see the end of it. But since 2019 it's been full-on with one thing after another. But I like to think that I'm spending all of the stress and saving all of the calmness which I'll spend afterwards.

Only another few months of real stress and then I should be able to start taking it a bit easier.

BeebsyMcA,

@velobetty Oh I hope so. Stress is exhausting physically & mentally. I'm glad you can see an end to this. I hope it comes quickly.
Are you good at being kind to yourself? Few of us are.

BeebsyMcA,

@mariusor @velobetty Ha ha! Well at least the traffic would be light!
But it's a good idea. I will as soon as I can.

Any tips for trapped nerve relief? The pain is actually paralysing. Lower left back but radiating literally all over.
I've taken brufen, got some Voltarol. Can't take anything codeine-based.
😭

BeebsyMcA,

@patsytheshark I'm doing that on the bus now. Thank you so much.

BeebsyMcA,

@patsytheshark It's better this evening. Your exercise really helped. Thank you so much!

BeebsyMcA,

@patsytheshark It's horrible. I'm all tensed up now from the fear of it

Cillian Murphy choosing Lisa O'Neill's Old Note on 6 & I'm crying in my car.
She is just astonishing. 😭❤️
She's playing Empire in December and I couldn't get my ticket fast enough.
Last time I saw her I cried the whole way through so tissues at the ready!

BeebsyMcA,

And Lisa O'Neill also just did an NPR Tiny Desk Concert
https://www.youtube.com/embed/1hMxG92KTGE

If you're not familiar with her - or only familiar with her cover of All The Tired Horses from I urge you to go find her.
She is an extraordinary singer-singwriter.

BeebsyMcA,

@emmaaum Oh Emma I love her music so much. She and Sigur Rös are real emotional soft spots for me.

BeebsyMcA,

@emmaaum ❤️❤️❤️

I don't think the teams are taking the radio feed seriously

BeebsyMcA,

@ronanmcd Yeah that sounded fake to me too.
And no swear words ever?
It's not a successful addition to the enjoyment of the race.

BeebsyMcA,

@ronanmcd @liamdv4 Yes 5k each! Easy money really.

BeebsyMcA,

@ronanmcd @liamdv4 "Yous all OK for drinks. Anyone want a wee cuppa?"

The so-called ‘Tellus’ relief from the Ara Pacis is my all time favourite relief. The details are mesmerising with so much layered symbolism built in from the infant twins to the vegetation.

The Augustan style often calls for abundance to be on full show and this relief captures that idea in spades.

A skilful and jaw-dropping relief not to be missed!

🏛 Ara Pacis Museo

@histodons @antiquidons

BeebsyMcA,

@phistorians @histodons @antiquidons That's beautiful and teeming with detail.
Is the choice of vegetation deliberate and symbolic?

BeebsyMcA,

@phistorians @histodons @antiquidons Ah! That's fascinating. Thank you so much.
It's hard to make out the vegetation but it certainly looks like poppies to her right and grain possibly which would make sense if that's Ceres

BeebsyMcA,

@phistorians @histodons @antiquidons Wonderful!

BeebsyMcA, to cycling

I love it when my job and my passion come together. In today's archive work, two bits of history.
The Tour of the North from 1959 or 1960, going through maybe Downpatrick? And An Rás from 1960 (the notes aren't clear).
You can see both films here:

Archive image from 1960. It's in colour and shows a group of cyclists going uphill in a small town in Northern Ireland.

BeebsyMcA,

@ronanmcd @ColmDonoghue That's amazing! Yeah he cycled a little 😂 wow
