83. I Want To Go Home But I’m Already There by Róisín Lanigan

This was good but also quite depressing and sad and a bit close to the bone at times. Could have leaned into the creepiness more. 💙📚

Trains are packed again and the driver keeps trying to make announcements and it sounds like he’s stuck down a well.

I’m generally pretty good at recognising actors from their other work I’ve seen. Outdid myself last night by recognising Jay in Task as Eric from Kin despite only watching 2 episodes of it. Jack genuinely looked proud of me when I showed him.

82. The Heart in Winter by Kevin Barry

Love the writing in this. The callbacks to West Cork reminded me so much of my grandparents. A really lovely yet sad story with an incredible line of ‘there was an air of Protestants’. 📚💙

If we can fashion a story about Jim Gavin and buckfast we should be able to completely break the Americans brains.

Do you think Catherine Connolly would take time out of campaigning to play for us against Portugal on Saturday? She seems like she could do a job in midfield.

This is an incredible Graham Norton line-up but I especially loved that Cillian Murphy & Domhnall Gleeson give off the vibe of two members the groom's football team at a wedding that have been intentionally seated apart from one by the bride.
