BLOOMSDAY...

[CailinDeas]

What plans do you have to celebrate Bloomsday?

[sandyRoe]

I shall have a gorgonzola sandwich and a glass of port for lunch.

Listen to some heavy metal?

i must confess CailinDeas, this is a new one on me .. i had never heard of bloomsday.

i've just now done the research and seen the facts about celebrating the life and works of james joyce.

i shall pop into my local pub while in town for shopping and other plans .. and raise a glass to him.

happy bloomsday to you.

Perhaps we should all go out for a meal, 'a la Bloom'?

"Mr Leopold Bloom ate with relish the inner organs of beasts of fowls. He liked thick giblet soup, nutty gizzards, a stuffed roast heart, liverslices fried with crustcrumbs, fried hencod's roes. Most of all he liked grilled mutton kidneys which gave his palate a fine tang of faintly scented urine"
- James Joyce, Ulysses, 1922
