Irish Ferries Ulysses on a much delayed sailing from Holyhead to Dublin, passes the great south wall on the way into Dublin Port.
The delay provided a great opportunity to snap her arrival, usually departing Dublin around 9 am & returning at 5 pm isn't favourable on a winters day.

What do you think about it?
The Fiat Ulysse was one of the Eurovans produced by Sevel from 1994 until 2002. These minivans were jointly developed by PSA and Fiat and sold under the Citroën, Fiat, Lancia and Peugeot brands.
“Here Perimedes and Eurylochus held the victims, while I drew my sword and dug the trench a cubit each way. I made a drink-offering to all the dead, first with honey and milk, then with wine, and thirdly with water, and I sprinkled white barley meal over the whole, praying earnestly to the poor feckless ghosts, and promising them that when I got back to Ithaca I would sacrifice a barren heifer for them, the best I had, and would load the pyre with good things. I also particularly promised that Teiresias should have a black sheep to himself, the best in all my flocks. When I had prayed sufficiently to the dead, I cut the throats of the two sheep and let the blood run into the trench, whereon the ghosts came trooping up from Erebus—brides,[89] young bachelors, old men worn out with toil, maids who had been crossed in love, and brave men who had been killed in battle, with their armour still smirched with blood; they came from every quarter and flitted round the trench with a strange kind of screaming sound that made me turn pale with fear. When I saw them coming I told the men to be quick and flay the carcasses of the two dead sheep and make burnt offerings of them, and at the same time to repeat prayers to Hades and to Proserpine; but I sat where I was with my sword drawn and would not let the poor feckless ghosts come near the blood till Teiresias should have answered my questions.
“The first ghost that came was that of my comrade Elpenor, for he had not yet been laid beneath the earth. We had left his body unwaked and unburied in Circe’s house, for we had had too much else to do. I was very sorry for him, and cried when I saw him: ‘Elpenor,’ said I, ‘how did you come down here into this gloom and darkness? You have got here on foot quicker than I have with my ship.’

The Ulysses Butterfly is used as a marketing symbol for Tropical Queensland. They are one of the biggest butterflies in Australia, their common name is Blue Mountain Butterfly. While the underside of their wings are dull brown, the upper side is metallic blue with a black border. They're easily identified in flight by their bright blue wings.
Incedere deciso, di chi non ha più intenzione di voltarsi indietro, di chi vuole avventurarsi nell'ignoto perchè tutto ció che gli rimane attorno è solo deserto e polvere. L'orizzonte si nasconde fra nuvole e foschia, fra montagne che minacciano di respingere gli assalti di coscienze ribelli e un velo troppo delicato che si ha paura di strappare.

Behold! My filthy and finished! copy of Ulysses. (Started a little under 2 months ago).
Initially I was extremely intimidated and was predicting it to be a bit of a slog interrupted only by spells of great confusion. But, although there are b*&tard chapters (such as Oxen of the Sun) which leave you feeling like you want to just burn the book in a fire, on the whole it was much more accessible and enjoyable than I thought it would be. Masses of it is ultra familiar in style [insert something standard about Joyce being the father of the modern novel], it is at times filthy dirty and very funny. It is also a bit of a challenge, with it's layers upon layers of possible readings and gazillions of notes. I relied heavily on a reading schedule (approx. 2 chapters per week) and if I hadn't done so I think I would be reading it still.
So ...
Before I started I received some great tips from seasoned Joyceans and along the way I found some super supplementary material which I thought I'd share.
First off, which edition?? I was assured the Penguin Annotated Student was the best one, for the copious notes (I pity the fool that buys one of those note-less editions), but I also found it's extra large margins great for scribbling. (I used biro! You can use a pencil if you prefer). :D
The Penguin is the 1961 text which apparently is the one considered the best, or closest to what old James intended.
So I had this big devil of a book and I was still pretty scared, but someone recommended a companion text that gives great chapter synopses:
The New Bloomsday Book: A Guide Through Ulysses - Harry Blamires
books.google.co.uk/books/about/The_New_Bloomsday_Book.htm...
I found another great book by the guy that did all the Penguin notes (Declan Kiberd):
Ulysses and Us: The Art of Everyday Living - Declan Kiberd
books.google.co.uk/books/about/Ulysses_and_Us.html?id=PT5...
This one is great for themes and has some nice essay chapters at the back highlighting parallels between Ulysses and Hamlet and the Inferno (among other things).
So, those were my texts, but I also made use of a lot of cool stuff on YouTube. Key among these was Fergal Keane's Story of Ireland documentary (5 parts). One of the few modern BBC docs that isn't dumbed down to an inch of its life and essential for brushing up (learning - I went to a school in England in the 80s, they didn't want you to know) your Irish history. Episode 4 - Age of Union - www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbOD1fi8omw - being probably the most important episode for Ulysses reading but the whole thing is excellent. Plus Fergal has some great anoraks.
Another non-essential but great documentary was something in a 'Great Modern Writers'(?) series. Narrated by Melvyn 'Culture' Bragg and starring Poirot! A documentary about the novel with lots of dramatisation bits. Again, not essential viewing, but probably worth it just for Sorcha Cusack as Molly. Pt. 1 - www.youtube.com/watch?v=10uijZKnc-Y
Lastly, there is the 1960s film. Which is awkward but Milo O'Shea is Bloom and he is everyone's Bloom. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F_zwFhjdW8
Also, interesting trivia (which I am boring everyone with) Milo starred in my favourite prison drama, HBO's ridiculous 'Oz'. Milo was the one that wanted to cut Dr Nathan's budget! Stone cold.
