And we’re going there tomorrow for a few days. I am definitely taking politics out of my repertoire of conversation pieces - just incase someone in my family is a Nigel lover.

The right words are:

European ship with humanitarian aid, was bombed by genocidal and terrorist state of Israel in waters off Malta, an UE member country.

I take my eye off UK politics for a minute, well maybe 6 months or so, it’s so fucking depressing.

That is a lot of revision going on. Best of good luck to them both! Autumn sounds good. The sun and the tourists have come to Howth today. It’s packed out there.

I thought you might have done! You took the high moral ground! Are you well missus?

Sorry for such a slow reply! Have not really got into this place yet. I am out of the boot now and walking in trainers. Doing my physio and the consultant who did the op is really pleased with it. How are you? Hopefully more with it than me!

Nice to have it on free to view TV and not have to find a dodgy stream.

It’s getting terrifyingly clear folks: DOGE is a Trojan horse for full authoritarian takeover.

@kenarmstrong.bsky.social I have two weeks of sleeping with this on my foot and not using it for walking. I have loads of great things to watch, read and learn during this time. Too tired to do any of them due to using muscles, never previously used in 57 years, to get around.

I did storm monitoring whilst in hospital. As I suspected, some of the roof did indeed blow off. Sleep was not an option due to β€˜woman on the right’ needing constant blood pressure monitoring. I had to keep an ear on that too. I agree. Stay alert.

22 years ago. I was pregnant and fainted in the souk. You can imagine the potions that I was offered… Really lovely people working in hotels & restaurants. Lots of exploitation and snake charmers on the streets. Excellent peppermint tea!

Alice loved her TS gigs too. We were in Copenhagen last weekend to see Air & Jack White at a festival. Lovely city. Very clean. Unfortunately, so fucking expensive.

How lovely! I did convey my wishes via FB but do give them my love. I’m very excited about LFC kicking off at 12:30 and then we’re going to see AC/DC in Croke Park tonight. 😎🎸🀘🏼😈πŸͺ¨

I think I’m going to like it here. Mastodon is too split up - can’t see my mates. We can’t get Threads in the EU. This is easy to navigate. Feels like a chilled vibe.

Being beside the sea is definitely my favourite thing. So good for the head.
