Illustrator and stained-glass artist Kerrie Hanna (ig | web) has been drawing a series of ‘quarantined bodies’ during, and inspired by, the pandemic lockdowns. For HTN 2020 she did a self-portrait – herself, partner Tiarnán and cat, all sharing the sofa.

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.
