This is a provocative little microcache, maybe even a bit mean.
We can almost guarantee that there will be muggles about especially
during the daytime, so keep a watchful eye!

BLOOMSDAY marks the day in 1904 on which all the action of James
Joyce’s novel Ulysses takes place. It is celebrated every year on
16th June by Joyceans all over the world.
In Dublin, where the novel is set, Bloomsday celebrations go on
for a week, with most of the attention on the day itself. It is
traditional to dress up and go out for the day, visiting the
locations of the book and taking part in readings, walks,
re-enactments and convivial activities of all sorts which in some
way connect with Ulysses, its author and its world.
As an occasion rather than a festival, Bloomsday has no
‘official’ programme or organising committee. Events are arranged
by a number of different bodies and occur at venues in and around
the city. Early on June 16th Bloomsday Breakfast will be served in
local restaurants in Sandycove and Glasthule, where Bloomsday is
customarily celebrated with a street festival and unofficial and
impromptu readings and performances throughout the day. When
breakfast in Caviston’s and Juggy’s Well is over it will be time to
move to Fitzgerald’s for brunch, lunch and afternoon tea.
