This is so true!

What a handsome chap!

I am in London at the end of May and really hope it’s still there! 🤍

Walk around Craigavon Lakes this afternoon. The donkeys weren’t interested in a chat, sadly. 🤣🤣🤣

Home grown (by my sister) chives and parsley. The taste of freshly picked herbs is just SO much better! 😍

Yesterday in Gosford Forest Park. It looks quite warm as the sun is shining, but there was an East wind which made it feel chilly enough at times. Still, it was lovely to get some fresh air and sunshine. 🌞

How beautiful is this?!

Finally getting back to exercising. I’ve still been walking daily & have managed an occasional run, but today did Jillian Michaels’ 30 Day Shred Level 1, a short workout combining strength-, cardio- and ab work. This will definitely hurt tomorrow… but remember Summer bodies are made in Spring! 🤣

Shout-out to the Bond movies for making an evil tech founder a super-villain back in 1985, at least 25-30 years before the rest of us caught on.

What a tune, just popped into my head this evening. Remember seeing them perform in a small venue in Edinburgh in 1990. 🤩 youtu.be/UAx1yq5hDpU?...

Yum! 🤤

B-52s - what a brilliant band! 🤩

Me reading the news today

Little walk this afternoon, it’s been a mad time recently but I’ll get back to posting soon… Sending positive, uplifting springtime vibes to everyone! 🤍🤍🤍

Amazing!!! 😻

#DIBLives Abraham 'Bram' Stoker (d. #OTD 1912) published his Gothic masterpiece 'Dracula' in 1897. A decade after his death, F.W. Murnau's 'Nosferatu' (1922) was the first of many film adaptations of Dracula which have kept Stoker's creation in popular consciousness. www.dib.ie/biography/st...

Another little walk around Gosford (and the posho plants) this afternoon. Beautiful weather, it is forecast (forecasted?) to stay like this all week! 😍

😱😱😱

More research is necessary but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalised vaccine are still alive six years later.

Wrote a piece about Martha and the Vandellas, civil rights, and their place in the history of Black women R&B groups. I also created a YouTube playlist (in the comments) with some of their hits

Reward after my first parkrun in 4 weeks. I can confirm it was absolutely delicious and really hit the spot. The café was called The Hive. Monaghan town really has a lot to offer!

The beautiful Rossmore Park this morning, taken during (a very slow) parkrun in Monaghan, just over the border (in the Republic of Ireland).

Look who I met on my way home from town yesterday! Despite the apparently evil look, he/she allowed me to stroke him/her and there was much purring! 😻

#DIBLives In December 1919 the Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act was passed, allowing women admission to the legal & other professions. 46 days later Dorothea Heron became the 1st woman apprenticed as a solicitor & #OTD 1923 she became the 1st woman solicitor in Ireland. www.dib.ie/biography/he...

This is a well-documented pattern in medical research and reflects systemic gender bias in pain assessment and treatment.👇

Gosford Forest Park, Markethill, NI. Taken on Saturday, between the showers!

Hungary has chosen Europe. Europe has always chosen Hungary. A country reclaims its European path. The Union grows stronger.

The steamship 'La Touraine' sends an ice warning to the #Titanic and also informs her of fog and a derelict ship. The ice is well to the north of the Titanic's route but is marked off on the navigational map anyway.

1.30pm local time - The #Titanic leaves #Queenstown, and after a brief stop to drop off the pilot, resumes her passage to the south-west. An unintended departure was fireman John Coffey, who jumps ship and stows away on board one of the tenders to visit his mother ashore. #Cobh

The Finnish word for a telescope, kaukoputki, means “far-away pipe”

What a wonderful poem. 🤍

I was blown away when I saw the original of this painting in Kelvingrove back in November. 🤩

Happy World Down Syndrome Day to ma favorite girl Ashley!!! We celebrate her everyday, but specially today! Wubs her bunches n bunches!!! 💙💛

Currently glued to “The Affair” with Ruth Wilson and Dominic West. It’s on ITVX, and is a little bit trashy (not as bad as those silly C5 dramas though) but very compelling. Not sure how I missed it as it’s quite old?

George Callaghan - Antrim Glen. oil and acrylic on canvas.

Wow!

When I point my remote directly at the television, it barely works. However, if I accidentally sit on it, it will switch from Peacock to Netflix, turn on closed captioning and start the microwave in the other room.

I am just a poor boy Though my story's seldom told I have squandered my resistance For a pocketful of mumbles Such are promises All lies and jest Still a man hears what he wants to hear And disregards the rest The Boxer🤛 Paul Simon Art Garfunkel 21 Mar 1969 #MusicSky🎵

I only saw them for the first time in October 2024 - it was fascinating! Kept me up til 1am!

Mine too! 😍

Wonderful! 😻
