Guys, just discovered a new thing: icecream-mustard. It's a thing and it's just come in a side salad at .. Caffe Gufo in Dijon.. and it is amazing.

He has risen. #miracle

As we pull out of Paris, where we've walked & metro'd this week, I have to share this classic from Phil Lynott & Gary Moore.... #ParisienneWalkways youtu.be/59xYyYyPeXc?...

We've been going round Paris the past few days, & I'm amazed at the lack of #Maps on sale. Once upon a time they'd be everywhere. I'm a 2D kinda guy & like to rely on them. I've used Copilot *a lot* this wk instead, & it's been really useful but I still feel I lack a sense of where everything is.

Update: I've just been interviewed by French TV about the weather in Paris. #voxpop

Here's an arty shot of the #EiffelTower from the 2nd level, taken through my sunglasses 🕶️ We're not down yet, but I keep hearing Bono singing Vertigo in my head watching Mrs Phonsiom descending the stairs. She's doing great 👍

It's going to be 33C today. It's going to make the stairs climb for the Eiffel Tower feel like we're scaling K2.

Whenever some tech company says "We Value Your Privacy" It means they'd rather you didn't have any privacy because they literally "value" it RS

Early start. We're onboard without any hassle. Our mode of transport for the next 2 weeks will be via train, to eventually and along the south of France, incl Eurostar this afternoon to Paris. I expect to see many sights like this 👍 Great weather today. #onyva #trains

We've started out on our 2week summer hols, France this year, & boating to Liverpool so in an internet blackspot. But just saw the halftime score for the ERC final. Stunned does not describe it well enough. Will be curious to see if Leinster were that bad, or UBB that good...

Bloody hell... Just saw the weather for France next week #ElScorchio

“I think this is a pretty good introductory course to the sort of barefaced corruption that would accompany any sort of US control over Cuba,” said a European businessman who works in Cuba. The latest reports from Cuba paint an appalling picture & outlook...

Tickets for the Paris Catacombs booked. #CatacombesDeParis Note: tickets only become available 1 week in advance & they sell *fast*

I’ll be receiving my PhD in palindromes this afternoon. I shall, henceforth, be known as Dr Awkward. 😎

This is weird. They've invented a Twix that tastes like a Ferrero Rocher.

Can you not get anything for £1 from a vending machine anymore? #costofliving

This is pure class. #IREvSCO #W6N

What a game, what a day, what a performance ☘️🏉 Congrats to the IRE womens team on a great #W6N campaign. Seriously impressive. Had to watch it on iPlayer which was a little hit&miss at times but the rugby was great. Frustrating against FRA a few weeks back, but such a great team. #IREvSCO #Proud

An Iarmhí Abú !! 🏐

That last Wafer try, the work there from Robyn was Immense! Went through the Scottish defence like they weren't there. She's had such a brilliant 1st half #IREvSCO #W6N ☘️🏉

Jesus, a Bonus Point at 18 mins! #IREvSCO #W6N #COYGIG ☘️🏉

12 mins in, even the ref sounds exhausted Frenetic game at the Aviva, brilliant start from Ireland. 3 tries inside the 1st 15 mins. They're in a different league for this game, look like they've really done their homework & not at all daunted by this record-breaking crowd. #IRLvSCO #W6N ☘️🏉

Clarence Carter passed away during the week. Seems appropriate to play this on a Sunday morning. It's what he would have wanted. #Strokin #speirgorm youtu.be/MJ35UWn3WkY?...

Pick a Bond from photos you already have in your phone.

I rarely re-read books (don't have the time) esp the Ross O'Carroll Kelly series, but came back to this last week. I'm seriously thinking of adding The Camino to the as-yet-to-be-formed List of Things I Need to do Before I Die

Good morning 🌞 youtu.be/n0J6q42zLH0?...

“I’m sorry, Delores—I didn’t think you’d truly ever leave! … But where will you go?”

This takes me back to The River of Soul programme hosted by Karl Tsigdinos on #RadioIreland in the late 90s The listenership wasn't huge in those days so he could get away with playin Strokin at 10am on a Sunday morning to the entire nation. R.I.P.

This thread right here.

"SWORD OF OMENS! GIVE ONE SIGHT BEYOND SIGHT! GIVE ONE POWER BEYOND POWER! OH, AND GIVE ONE A FULL-TERM PRIME MINISTER!"

Ah here..

Early morning drop off at the Sea Terminal

Brilliant by IRE this evening, put in a huge work rate against WAL. Felt like there were tech issues at play though- couldn't hear the ref for the 1st half & none of the gameplay stats are on the #W6N app. Thought Ireland were in control of the ball & territory for most of that game. #IREvWAL

Smart play from Robyn O'Connor there. Another poor call from the touch judge 👀 #IREvWAL #W6N

Aoife fucking Wafer!! Yess!!!! Getting Ireland into BP territory #IREvWAL #W6N 🏉☘️

Jesus that's harsh. #IREvWAL

Oooh.. maybe I could get Copilot to put together a 2 week schedule for our hols to France. That could be interesting 😄 We're off 2 weeks from today.

Released as a single 35 years ago to this very day, R.E.M.’s Shiny Happy People. I was nine when it was released. If you’d told me then that 30+ years later I’d spend a couple of hours designing a parody of The Shining poster, I’d probably tell me to grow up. Kids can be so ruddy perceptive.

Keir’s in his room crying and won’t come out for dinner. Hope you’re happy with yourselves.

Lawn mowed. Doesn't really feel like.. 8 mos since it's last cut, but it doesn't grow very fast. There are still enough flowery weeds everywhere for the bees, but the birds are happy. Incl this little guy.

Need some *choons* to accompany my Friday.... Something upbeat.

Raoul, Ophelia, Stinky, and The Doc. #iykyk

This is gas. youtu.be/lgXkty83jPM?...

Just another manic Tuesday Wish you were Monday Cos it felt like Sunday I don't wanna work today Missing bank holiday Monday.
