Good weekend? Good weekend.
I visited Marlay Park's (notice the possessive apostrophe, Ev ;) farmers market on Saturday. I had my fall puffy vest on and my canvas tote bag and felt very....organic. It was fun picking out fresh veg and cheese and eggs with little chicken feathers still stuck to the sides. I walked around the park (of course--a now daily event) and saw little boys playing hurling in the fallen leaves and old folkses snapping shots of the waterfall. It was so nice. Just come over here and come see Marlay Park, okay? Just come over here tomorrow--I'll show you around.
I also had a fun run-in with a bunch of severed bodies this weekend. The chance encounter occurred at the National Museum of Ireland. (I'll point out that the link is simply "museum.ie". It's that small of a country....one museum).
"The Museum" is housing a collection of ancient Celtic king corpses, preserved in peat bogs for thousands of years. The bodies, all from the Iron age (372-150 B.C.), are prefectly preserved--to the degree that your hair stands on end when you see them.
It's creepy--REALLY creepy. I'm telling you because I'm about to insert a picture of one of the mummified guys, a king-to-be slain around 350 B.C. That's almost 2,400 years ago.

Oooohmygod! How creeeeepy is that?! Look at his neck all twisted around!!! And yet, my first thought when I saw him? "LOL, he's a redhead."
What's amazing is that he still has a moustache, goatee, and his hairstyle is still intact, piled on top of his head and secured with a neolithic form of hair gel made from animal fat (true stuff). Um, I can't get my hair to stay up through a single evening, let alone thosands of years.
WHOO! That gives me both the heebies and the jeebies. Yeeeeikes.
Okay, okay, here's another one for the road. This one is of your man from above, along with a buddy discovered in Co. Sligo, dating from 200 years before King Hair Gel died. You'll see that the second guy is just a torso....cuz he was beheaded. In person, you can see the shreds where the dull knife took the head off. His nipples were also removed. REMOVED. Also, you can see his hands are still in perfect condition, and in fact still have their manicured fingernails. Holey moley.

That's not a crewneck tee. King Redhead didn't fall into The Gap. That's another dude.
"Madam, my nipples, if you please."
