Will Ferrell

This is one from when Will Ferrell came to the L&H earlier on this year to receive a James Joyce award. It was a great night with him giving a 30 minute stand up routine. I was in the press room when he was wearing a suit beforehand, but had a champions sports bag with him. One of the reporters asked him what was in it, and he said it was "just a new pair of sneakers". Turned out it was a full Irish rugby kit! My favourite quote of the night was his reflections on the James Joyce award:

“As I perused my leather bound volumes of Ulysses, Finnegan's Wake, Dubliners, and Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, standing in my mahogany library, a lot of feelings ran across my head, like, man, I should have read these books,”

Legend!

Bavarian Countryside

This is my most viewed photo on Flickr, it's one of the first ones that comes up when you search for Germany on Yahoo. It's weird how popular it is, because although I like it, I don't really think it's one of my best.

Croatian sunset

One from last summer this, from Pula in Croatia. They have amazing Roman ruins all over the two, it's definitely worth a visit.

In other news, the Guardian quoted my previous post, so I was happy with that given that I'm only a week back blogging! I'll have a couple of posts over the weekend including thoughts on the intriguing Freakonomics which I've just finished, so stay tuned.
