Yeah I made dinner, and it’ll be tomorrow’s lunch too!

I am in Cornwall for the 1st Borderlands Folk Festival in Launceston! It’s happening tomorrow September 20th so I’ve arrived a day early to settle in 🏴‍☠️ Happy International Talk like a Pirate Day!

A drive up the mountains tomorrow night I think …

It’s simple and sometimes that just makes it scary. You are not a burden, you have value, if you get reach out for the support then when the time comes, you can be the support for someone else. We are all connected and we all have a part to play. #mentalhealthmatters #talkinghelps #UseYourVoice

Del was being unnecessarily “prancy” and taking up too much room on my bed!

This is so much better than a perfect lawn. Don’t believe me? Ask the bees 🐝

This evenings walk was tiring but worth it just for the views.

I have to find things that make me love Dublin. I’ve lived here my whole life but the hate in this country is taking its toll.

A pepper inside a pepper and it looks like a cute little butt.

I put my milk in the bowl before the cereal this morning …. that’s going to play on my mind all day.

I’ve been sitting out in my back garden waiting on the rain to come after a scorcher of a week and I just got hit with the first drop! Delicious 🤤 🌧️

Spread the word and post a picture of a stick you found! Use the hashtag #WorldStickDay

July 13th is this Sunday and it marks the first #WorldStickDay which looks to celebrate the noble stick! Sticks have play a huge role in the evolution of humankind. From the first time we help one in our hand, the earliest markings, capturing our expressions of creativity, 1st tools, 1st shelters?

Any day with sticks is a good day.

This gives no indication of the havoc and destruction he causes.

I am applying for a job tomorrow and it’s only the 3rd job I’ve applied for in the last 15 years … and I got the other 2. This feels different though because I really want this one and have enough insight to know how well I could do it. You just never know who you’re competing with.

Well my Friday the 13th isn’t playing around. I was invited to an important meeting today (with someone not based in Ireland) and when I asked for the link to the meeting 15 minutes ahead I’d schedule I was informed it’s in person in the office …. 75 minutes away.

This was today’s look. I’m just a Dad doing his bit.

Dungarees Kinda Day

The only people who don’t want you taking care of yourself are the enemy.

Take care of yourself, let others show you kindness, …. and when you have the ability too (while maintaining yourself) show kindness to others.

I’m never going to stop posting pics of my rhubarb babies.

How easy is your joy?

Relax and enjoy.

I separated out and transferred my baby rhubards into their big girl pots …. there shall be a harvest!

iykyk …..

Be Present.

No filter and only the original sounds.

Twice last week I was met by people who said “hey Badger” … and despite only knowing me from TikTok they were both so warm and polite towards me. Social media isn’t there to replace in-person engagements, it also enhances them.

No Ragrets!

My favourite jeans split right up along the ass crack …

I’m fours days into drinking @purecraic.bsky.social and while I’m not a gamer, it’s giving what I need to focus in work and increasing my water intake at the same time. Noice. I also love when my colleagues ask me what I’m drinking and I get to tell them “Pure Craic” 😂

I just watched my first episode of HOUSE …

He’s not the hero we need but he’s all we’ve got.

Welcome to my TED Talk.

Purple Socks … what are we signaling?

I have to say, “Four Mothers” was a great movie. Outstanding performances from James McArdle and Fionnula Flanagan. So funny at times and heartbreaking at the same time. Made me (selfishly) wish I still had my mother to look after.

I dropped my head trimmer a couple of days ago and it seemed fine but when I went to shave my head today it was like an epilator and tried to tear the hairs from my head. Now I’m heading into work tomorrow with a fuzzy head and I have to buy a new trimmer 😡

I love my reading nook in my shed.

I’d visit on my lunch break.

I may only be 5’6” but I weigh the same as someone much taller!

Gaze upon my green army! Rise they shall!

Frickin’ Bats!?

Rembrandt, you did good. “The Rat-Poison Peddler” A street vendor selling rat poison holds up a stick topped with a basket of dead rats as an advertisement. Here and there live rats scamper about, highlighting the need for his wares. It features a stick so I’m already on board!

I hope bin collections in Birmingham get sorted. The people, the city and no doubt the workers deserve better. I just spent the weekend there and the people are amazing.

I’ll get on the floor for a good tile.

You really have to get right up to the window to take a photo like this …. the first shot had some reflection that wouldn’t have been okay to post! 😮

He’s waiting for the sun to go down so he can cause trouble …
