This is a difficult post. Finding the right picture has been a challenge. My truly wonderful and loving father, John, died on Tuesday after a short illness. Here he is with his namesake grandson, a while back at Spanish Arch, Galway, one of his favourite places. Gaillimh Abú

'The Bad Sower.' (1908) Gustave van de Woestyne pictures reveal an influence of Pieter Breughel the Elder - an artist who believed in multitudes and masses more than individual figures. Like Breughel, van de Woestyne's paintings are full of energy and imaginative energy, too.

I don’t care about where unpleasant royals are or aren’t going to live. I do care that a 76 year old was killed not far from where I live. We need more proportion in our priorities. https://t.co/puORHya5V8
