Treasa Lynch

The Rose Field arrived overnight on my Kindle account. I really should have booked today off.

Check out Ireland then.

I am considering a Mac.

Treasa in front of a Ferrari parked on a street in Brussels.

Random things I have longed to see: a parallel parked Ferrari. Achievement unlocked yesterday.

Security pulls me up for my watercolour paints more often than anything else.

Doilies don’t lead you astray because you spend your life counting.

Really? I mean I travel with needlepoint these days but I have brought bamboo crochet hooks on planes.

Listen to Rachmaninov. Makes world better.

I spend a lot of time reflecting on what is wrong with the internet and I can only conclude it is that there isn’t a thing created that the Americans cannot wreck because they only value money. Advertising and venture capital feature in my RCA.

YouTube’s search is insufferable. I ask for needlepoint. I do not need or want a story about a six year old whose passport was delayed because she was named after a book character. Search needs to stay on topic all the time. Not vary off into viral crap.

Vancouver Zoo has a sea otter cam in case you need to know this. www.youtube.com/live/9mg9PoF...

I cannot see when they lift, run, date to get married. 4 hours a day doesn’t cut it to commute, cook or exercise. And no one sane should marry into that lifestyle as they will basically be parenting and watching TV alone.

Cover of book called Ocean Earth’s Last Wilderness

This is an exceptional book.

Irish Rail can now impose a 100€ fine for loud music in their trains. Maybe TfL should update their bylaws also.

Not the US’s decision. NATO is more than the US.

I live in Brussels. I am definitely not likely to be the only person with two home bases.

But I do spend most of my time in the EU and I question whether this is enforceable within the EU. YouTube’s service is otherwise deteriorating and both search and recommendation are far worse than they used to be. Cancellation may become much more attractive.

The update doesn’t tell me why they are doing this. I imagine part of it is the UK’s online safety act, and part may be people trying to find cheaper prices by hopping across VPNs. Neither of which are technically my problem. Ireland is not their cheapest subscription service.

YouTube Premium is updating terms of business to state that access should be primarily from my country of subscription. Given I subscribe AND pay in Ireland but am mostly in Belgium, I am interested to see what will happen: do they block access? Do they force advertising on me?

Flew through Dublin Airport yesterday evening, T1. It really isn’t designed for more passengers.

WWII-era DC-3 aircraft turns heads as Swiss aviation enthusiast visits Cork for summer holiday Swiss billionaire Hugo Mathys thrilled aviation fans in Cork by flying vintage WWII aircraft during a private family holiday

Flew into ORK yesterday and unexpectedly saw a couple of vintage machines parked up next to the old terminal building. This is why. www.irishexaminer.com/news/munster... WWII-era DC-3 aircraft turns heads as Swiss aviation enthusiast visits Cork for summer holiday. The DC3 is gorgeous.

76sqm is far, far too small for a three bedrooms apartment. It will not reduce demand for houses. Honestly think if they want to do this, they should be required to live in one of those pathetically small apartments for 5 years themselves.

OmG the hurling score.

Honestly prefer it to the waiting area in St Pancras which is always packed, doesn’t have enough seating and the rubbish bins are often overflowing.

There will be more photos coming.

I have kind of lost my photography network over the years, but let’s just say I wanted to buy a new camera, Canon for pref but will consider others, what is the best midrange option with removable lenses? Do I need to go mirrorless? My last DSLR was a 40D - and I have shot with a G7 most recently.

Kerry had a record though. I understand Richard Mulcahy wasn’t welcome there after the civil war either.

There will be fewer and fewer of them because so many split to digital lately. As historic records they are critical. But I guess this is driven by the Didion archive and there, we have nuance. Ultimately the wishes of diary writers should be respected. But I don’t need a literary exec to do that.

After I assume everyone mentioned in them is likely to be dead, the social scientists and historians can take a look. Humanity doesn’t change much but the context in which they live does. Given how rapidly society is changing since ca 1850, I think contemporary records will matter a lot.
