Dublin residents are reporting an early start to spider season this year, with sightings of house spiders increasing in homes and gardens across the city.

My Babe and I sometimes do this thing where we read our Google search history to each other and laugh. It endears me every time he reads something silly about hiking or fish or titanium. He is forever surprised by how off kilter mine are. It's such a fun thing to do over coffee
Is there anything worse than when the bathroom on the train is OOO? Yes, when you walk to the other end of the train and it's also OOO and you still have an hour till your stop
