The Deluge by Stephen Markley is a long but brilliant novel that depicts a dystopian near future where climate change is running out of control... descriptions of the fires in LA are starting to read like chapters in the book

A Balbriggan seagull has decided to eyeball me through the windscreen. Definitely feeling intimidated.

A good result. Climate may have been absent from #GE24 but it is only going to grow and grow as an issue so no Green voice in the next Dail would have been a terrible loss

My wife took apart the backing of an old picture frame today and found a little bit of old Dublin on the inside, complete with Guinness barge and trams

The precision of being able to predict a 111 minute delay is pretty impressive in fairness

Delays of up to 103 minutes on the Dart.... is that a new record?

Reading Haaretz online from time to time over the last year is the only thing I ever see that gives me any hope that Israel can somehow redeem itself some day

Yeah definitely has that Booker feel alright. I'm only a quarter of the way in and listening to it almost feels like meditation. It's one I'm glad to be listening to rather than reading and perfect for a long walk

Went for a lovely long walk around the head in Skerries under a lovely blue sky, while listening to Orbital - the book not the band. Highly recommended. A beautiful book

Local councillors in north Dublin have decided not to appeal a High Court decision that has left a strategic DAA-owned landbank next to Dublin Airport Airport with no zoning so the face off between councillors and the airport authority is not done yet

Calling media watchers! If you want to know the voting intentions of readers of every news source from The Irish Times to Gript, along with how RTE and Virgin Media viewers plan to vote next Friday, you'll find it all all in the Sunday Independent. And very interesting it is too, I must say

Bluesky looks interesting with its good old days ofTwitter kind of vibe. But I'm torn...I haven't missed it at all yet here I am. So much for "we're not going back"
