Found a few things to remind me of Sligo since I can't be there in person for the Christmas season this year.

With #nationalheritageweek in full swing, I'll share some older images during the week.
This is Sligo Jail, it was wonderful to get a look inside years ago, read the blog post here https://magnumlady.com/2013/08/16/sligo-gaol/ and can you see a face in the first image?

Absolutely fascinated by the work on the buffalo trace water tower. The 'skirt' is to keep all the sand blasted stuff inside.

Invested in a Garmin watch and been training for a 5k (just a run not a race) actually ran for more than 1/2 of it today. Down nearly 20lbs in the process. Not bad for someone who has never jogged before. Happy early birthday to me. #healthy 🎉

@lornarichardson.bsky.social hi!!!! I'm barely on social media anymore. Trying to find balance - most of the time that's far away from the Internet for me lately. How are you?

Looking forward to the future article about how she paid for law school with a settlement from suing UC Davis
I spoke with a UC Davis student whose life was upended for two weeks after she was accused of using AI to write a paper. In the stressful process of trying to clear her name, she found out the detection tool was brand new and not as reliable as it seems.
She Was Falsely Accused of Cheating With AI — And She Won’t Be the Last
College student with homework flagged as AI-written by a new Turnitin detection tool had to fight to clear her name.

"I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade..." WB Yeats

Got to see the isle today. Woah.

Yes! This is the file to rule them all.

Now we can say “Hey Siri, what’s this song?” And she’ll say something like “There’s no rain in the forecast today.”

Pretty sure I'm close to these years
Today, my daughter said “I hate you”

I heard on a parenting vid that what they really mean is “I need a hug” (and the like)

So, I asked if she needed a hug. She said yes. I hugged her and explained that she can just ask next time.

Later on she walks up to me and goes: “I hate you I want a hug”

Up late rewatching the last few episodes of David Tennant as Dr Who. Forgot how good the last few episodes with Donna Noble were. Looking forward to the upcoming season.
