Nice work RTÉ Player…

Out for a winter walk today.

2024 in books! I managed to get through 32, highest total since we had our first child 5 years back. I’ve felt weirdly guilty about the self-indulgence of some of what I’ve read this year (bizarre and fragile under examination as that may seem). Here we go (if I don’t run out of steam half way):

The two lads #ge24

Loving Michael Martin having to caveat all his “100 years” remarks to cover for the fact that Fianna Fáil also did everything in his list in that timeframe. #ge24
