Day: 27 November 2024

  • Sooo... I'm in Dublin.

    I missed me flight at Knock airport, which turns out to have been the only plane leaving that tiny airport today. So I arranged a flight from Dublin tomorrow, extended my car rental and arranged to drop it off in the capital's airport instead, and zipped over here.

    Geohashing expedition 2024-11-27 53 -8
