On my way to lunch today I saw Maynooth University Library Cat trying the well-known “staring at an empty dish” ploy. It worked, as it always does..
When I got to Pugin Hall for my own lunch I was confronted by this
I didn’t see the bat in question.
P.S. WordPress just told me that this is my 7,500th blog post!
I usually have a sandwich lunch when I’m in Maynooth because I’m quite busy, but it’s rather cold (though bright) today so I decided to get myself a hot lunch at Pugin Hall, which is situated in St Patrick’s House on the South Campus of Maynooth University. I stayed in St Patrick’s House briefly before Christmas, and had my breakfasts in Pugin Hall. It’s a nice place to have an expensive but filling meal. It was particularly cosy today because of the sunlight streaming in through the windows:
The hall is named, of course, in honour of architect Augustus Pugin. He didn’t design St Patrick’s House itself – construction of that building started before he was born – but did lay out the quadrangles elsewhere that make up much of the South Campus.
