Yes. It’s him. I’ve given him time and I like the way he asks questions quickly but I don’t like his other stuff at all.

I was going to get all excited as I do every year and toot that #UniversityChallenge is back tonight. The shine has gone off it a little bit. We still enjoy having a go but…

I watched #RRR this afternoon : absolutely bonkers and so entertaining. You’ll laugh, cry, cringe and jiggle about a bit. Total escapism anyway.

Exciting times. We have a power cut. Everything flipped seamlessly over to the solar battery thingy so we should be ok as long as we don’t go mad using all the appliances. My recliner still works so I’m not going to be left here like some turtle with my legs in the air 🤣

I’ve just finished #SquidGame3 . Stuff of nightmares but do well done and as with all K- dramas they tie up lose ends. That very last scene was 👌

The Bear season four review – finally becoming the show it was always destined to be

I have a limited little life and so I am really, really excited that today is #TheBear day! Ridiculously so. I have very high hopes.

Big day for me today. A trip to Galway. Annual MRI. Our old friend Mark is staying with us. He’s here from Australia. The first official guest in the new house and he’ll be coming along for the trip. Never easy for me getting in and out of the car or sitting in it so I’ll be glad when it’s done. 🤞

We finished #DeptQ tonight. It was very good indeed. Look forward to series two.

Just finished rewatching the whole of #ThBear in preparation for the new series. So invested in them all. It seemed even better this time around but also some of it much more emotional. I laughed a lot but #NotAComedy 😉

Watched #Mountainhead tonight. It was as good as I’d hoped and as I suspected it was bleak, terrifying really.

Wow #Hacks.

Today, I am 61 of your earth years old. SIXTY ONE! 🎈

@theglutton.bsky.social Happy Birthday darling friend!! 🎈🎈🎂🎂💃🏼💃🏼

Well, let's give it three days and double check

@lissaleann.bsky.social hello old friend!!! Fancy seeing you here!! What a lovely thing. Xxx

Not a bad day but quite blowy:

Al went for a little stroll along Crazy Lane just now

It looks to me like they’ve started to put Vaseline or some sort of softening filter on the lenses for those White House press things.

Had the springtime Covid booster yesterday. Pfizer. It’s a new formulation apparently. I’m not one for after- effects but this one has floored me. I must say I completely conked out last night and feel very hungover today.

It’s genius idea really. There should be Not Cross Buns with hearts or smileys on them and you can sell them all year round. It’s obvious. Why do they not do that? Will Big HCB take out a contract on us now? @sensisoccer.bsky.social

not crossed buns if you will.

A batch of non-denominational buns!

I’m enjoying #LOLLastOneLaughing. It’s like a Better Big Brother in fact I’m pretty sure they’ve repurposed the BB set.

I’ve just finished #GangsOfLondon that’s my bloodlust sated for a while. Blimey!

Indeed.

I made buns: one of them was a bit devilish:

I’ve just woken from a nightmare where the BBC Today Programme asked whether J.D. Vance had a point. When US officials are being asked to sign loyalty oaths and agree that Trump won in 2020

@theglutton.bsky.social how are you? What are you up to? I’m guessing things are still madly busy. I’m good. Mum seems to be improving a tad. I’ve been experimenting with my breadmaker with some success. I have clothes in the wardrobe and a robot vac to talk to. Hope you are ok.

Dublin/Sligo writers: you could go up and down in the train to Sligo/Dublin for about €30 per day. It takes seven hours and includes a writing desk and free wifi. You wouldn't get an office in Dublin for €150 a week.

Just finished S.3 of #Hacks. Loved it.

I love my little town, thinking every neighbourhood could use one of these, considering the way things are going. #photography #Peanuts #psychiatry #EastCoastKin #GreyCounty

We got a robot hoover/mop. I’m really disappointed that it didn’t come with a free cat. I thought those things always had a pet riding on them. I suppose that’s our pet. At least it stows itself away and hasn’t pee’d all over the place yet.

Oooh! The Solar guys have just arrived to fit our changeover switch to isolate us from the grid. Finally we’ll be able to use our batteries when we have a power cut.

Look, I'm not saying we're doomed, but the response to #StormÉowyn from Mayo county councillors has been: - Cut all the trees - "Clean" all the rivers - Burn all the solid fuels

@theglutton.bsky.social how are you doing?

Oh no! What have I done?? My mother is here. I’ve allowed her to put MidWest Radio on for mass. Two firsts for our lovely new house. Mass and MidWest. It’s tainted now.

Hello BlueSky from the wonderful world of electrical marvels!

So when I said our power came back yesterday morning, it came back for about 2 minutes, went again and is still off. Ditto the water and all communication. We’re in town at the moment and it’s madly busy with people buying water and toilet roll. Heading home again soon though into the dead zone.
