Haven’t done a wine post in ages, so here you go. This one’s from central Greece and blends traditional Greek grape varieties. It’s dry with a slight suggestion of salty fizz. It’s lovely. Quaffed it with some fish tacos & guacamole

One of the good things about them is the general diverse age of the crowd. Like, you don’t feel old at all at them. Also there’s cool places to shit & chillout around the gaff and there’s good food options too 👍

Niamh & I been Rahaan fans since the Fatty Fatty lads brought him over years ago. I’ll always remember one particularly good party he played at in the old Space 54 (ní Flux) studios when they were in Smithfield during the recession times
Easily one of my fav DJs

Looking fwd to seeing Rahaan spinning at the Dublin Disco All-Dayer tomorrow along with a plethora of local deejays
That bespoke sound system they created for these particular parties is a real beaut

MM refusing to do anything on climate shows that he puts disproportionate weight on the opinions of lobbyists for data centers, car manufacturers, dairy, etc cause support for government action on climate change actually unites people across the country..so who is he talking about?

Al Bublé? The name rings a bell. Which school did he go to again?

RIP the 123, was always handy getting it to Parnell & O’Connell from Marino, but I guess we’ll have to live with Gardner instead

It makes one sick to think about it. But, I guess we should dream for better things and cling to the small rays of hope where we find them

Obviously really hope the cease fire in Gaza sticks.
I’m dreaming, but it would be cool if all the people who committed the war crimes & the Israeli Gov who ordered the acts of genocidal ethnic cleansing & their international enablers, could now be brought to some semblance of justice

It’s a baffling vista from this side of the pond. It’s like they’re proactively running around looking for new & unnecessary rakes to step on

She recently exhibited some these collages along with etchings in Cliften arts festival as part of a group show and it was really cool to see how the public reacted to them 👍

Speaking of Niamh, she’s put some of her recent collage pieces up on her website if you’re interested to see them - www.niamhflanagan.com/unlimiting-t...

The whole getting a “like” showing up your previously unnoticed typo conundrum gets a bit tired after a while eh
I swear my phone’s predictive text hates me and is actively trying to undermine me
