Happy Bloomsday!
If I were in Dublin I would...
Attend the 19th International James Joyce Symposium (and definitely the Paddy Dignam Wake)
Go to the Dublin Writers Museum
Revisit the most gorgeous building in the world; the Trinity College Library (and marvel over the Book of Kells - again)
Trawl up and down Temple Bar
Hang out on St. Stephen's Green
Go to Dun Laoghaire and visit Martello Tower and get my feet wet in the bay
Get tickets for the Abbey, no matter what is playing
Have breakfast with Dubliners - I might even be able to drown a bit of Guinness with the inner organs of beasts and fowls.
However, I won't be in Dublin; I'm stuck in the hell-hole that is soaring hot London, imploding with exhaustion of hayfever and work. Pity me.
But I'm glad to see that also Google has embraced Bloomsday!
