Enjoyed this short documentary on @fotoole.bsky.social’s experience of growing up and working in Ireland. I particularly liked his optimism for the future of the island. Well worth checking out on the RTE player.

Today’s agenda: source either bacon or sausages for a sandwich, Donegal v Down in the Ulster Championship semi final, lots of snacks, a few stout. To roast or not to roast, that is the question.

Sausages are in the oven, cooking for a sandwich. My intention is to spend the rest of the day on my favourite chair, catching up on reading, and drinking copious amounts of tea. Maybe even a Guinness later. I love a long weekend.
