In one of her guises as a crow or raven, the goddess of war Morrígan would fly over the battlefield, inspiring warriors to heroic deeds or sometimes picking out those who were to fall (including Cú Chulaınn). Work by Friz (ig) for HTN 2020 called ‘Got You In My Sights’.

A previous Morrígan by Friz for CNB/HTN 2014: The Phantom Queen

Filming for season six of the BBC police drama Line Of Duty has been taking place in various Belfast locations over the last few weeks. Enniskillen native Adrian Dunbar plays Superintendent Ted Hastings, who likewise has a background in the north, and, although now working (somewhere!) in the English midlands occasionally uses various expressions from home such as “I didn’t float up the Lagan in a bubble” (meaning “I wasn’t born yesterday” or “I’m no fool”), “Now we’re sucking diesel” (“motoring along” or “doing well”), and today’s title (an expression of shock).

The mural is by Waterford artist Caoilfhionn Hanton (web | ig | Fb) in Kent Street for HTN 2020.
