Given the amount of interest a tweet showing a photo of an empty cycle lane got, I thought it's a good time to bust out this one again. Cycle lanes and footpath don't appear congested as they (mostly) allow people to move through quickly and efficiently.

🚀🚀🚀POETRY IN MOTION🚀🚀🚀 In advance of Ireland's first satellite @eirsat1 launching into #space later today, it is with great joy that we share ALL WAYS HOME a brand-new poem etched on the side of #EIRSAT1 that will communicate with #home. Written by 12 DEIS secondary school

Richard Martin, nicknamed ‘Humanity Dick’, was a Galway man who devoted much of his life to improving the treatment of animals, and was one of the founders of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in 1824. Read all about him and many more in ‘The Forgettables’ 🐮

It's fantastic to see so many kids walking and cycling to school via the new greenway bridge. I'm looking to be called St Bridget's Bridge. Build it, and they will walk or cycle. #greenway

#OnThisDay 1974: children's classic Bagpuss first aired on BBC One. Created by Peter Firmin and Oliver Postgate, it ran for just 13 episodes, but remains a cult programme for millions. In 2005, both men reminisced about how they made the show.

I've received 4 of these HUGE Gill Books Irish history books now! 27.94 x 40.64 cm is SO cool! I will be tweeting on them more at a later date. For now, let me say if you have a 8-12 year old who likes non-fiction, buy them for them! They are fantastic & gorgeous! 10/10💫
