Last week we did a club ride around Phoenix Park. Hugh got some amazing photos at dusk. It was more night time by the time I got there but still lovely to ride around mostly traffic-free or low-traffic roads.

A few pictures from this year’s Stepaside parade.

Have you ever seen snow before? In case you haven’t, here are some pictures.

I’ve never really had a Christmas jumper. I have a Finnish jumper, with raindeer on, that I trot out each Christmas to join in the festivities. But ideally, Christmas jumpers should be horribly loud garish.

When I saw this one, I couldn’t resist:

It reads:

All I want for Christmas is the means of production

For those who do not recognise the quote, that is a reference to Karl Marx.

Of course, there is a huge amount of irony in someone taking the work of Marx, commoditising it into a jumper that they have then sold me using a global marketplace like Facebook. But surely Marx himself saw this coming?
