Galway’s been experiencing a lot of strange cloying fogs as of late. I took this a few weeks ago near Parkavara, the fog hung about a foot deep above the water, unmoving but for the occasional tendril that crept up on a breeze.
Some of you (and indeed, me) will be running around this weekend looking for last minute gifts. I have two recommendations.
FOR THE KIDS:
The Third Pig Detective Agency by Bob Burke.
I reviewed it here, and it’s available from bookshops. It’s a jolly good romp for the 8-12 age group.
FOR THE GROWN-UPS:
Satire that will bite your arse it’s The Emergency: Use Democracy Sensibly, available from, as they say, all good record shops.
Brian Cowen’s Flood Relief
All the info’s in the headline there! Mattie Hynes has organised an exhibition of the cartoons of Joe Boske, Allan Cavanagh (moi), Richard Chapman and Tom Mathews in Sheridan’s on the Docks, Galway. We’re opening at 2pm tomorrow.

Here’s a recent signing board I drew for a Galway wedding. Note the Arsenal scarf and the bouquet of gig tickets!
If you’d like more details on my signing boards 
me for details.
