The Bloomsday that wasn't

Friday was the 16th of June. Bloomsday. When I first came here I had a plan. Ofcourse, knowing me, I still haven't read the damn book. But I was looking forward to Bloomsay all the same. People dressed up as the characters in the book, re-enactments of scenes, readings, walks etc.
And then a former Taoiseach died. The state funeral was planned for Friday and al Bloomsday activities were cancelled. Karma.

So I guess I'll have another year to read Ulysses.....
