We moved in on April 3rd and today, December 10th, marks the first day we have actual, proper internet in our new apartment.

Friendly advice: if you ever move into a new build, make sure they have enough network connection points for the number of apartments 🫠

Still. Better late than never.

Random Wednesday off tomorrow cos I need to use up my holidays before the end of the month.

Had one (1) 4% cider tonight. Already feel tipsy and I just know tomorrow will be rough.

Not sure when I lost my ability to drink people under the table. 2022 maybe. Rough year.

I can’t emphasize enough how much you need to watch this until the end

7 work days left before finishing for Christmas.

3 this week. Let’s go.

We still haven’t put up our decorations. Not feeling it yet this year.

Gonna try and force it this afternoon. Maybe it’s a chicken and egg sitch, where I’ll feel it once I put up the decks.

Sigh.

Shameful by the EBU, and proud of RTÉ for not only withdrawing but committing to not broadcasting the event either.
Props to 🇪🇸 🇸🇮 🇳🇱 and 🇮🇪 for sticking to their word.

Screw the EBU.

Another year, another reminder of my stereotypical yet AWESOME music taste.

Off tomorrow, so it’s a night of wine and DnD. Not too long until I finish for Christmas.

The last few times a member of the Order of the Garter was stripped of their honour was because they had taken up arms against the UK; Wilhelm II and Franz Joseph I in WWI, and Victor Emmanuel III and Hirohito in WWII (later restored as part of a UK State Visit).

Esteemed company for Andy.
King Charles has formally stripped Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor of his Order of Garter and Royal Victorian Order.

The following announcement was published today in the @thegazetteuk.bsky.social

I endorse this message 100%. 200% if you’re in the queer community. I believe his estate still donates portions of the royalties to LGBTQ+ charities.
Actually doing Whamageddon at Christmas is a moral failing, you should be listening to Last Christmas at least once a day if not ten

All I want for Christmas is an annual supply of Ozempic.

Tank yew.

Business travel means solo dinners and healthy portions of German wine.

I woke up at 05:20 on Monday morning and it’s now 20:55 on Tuesday evening and I haven’t slept yet.

The bed beckons. But first, wine. And steak.

More Windsor than Obergefell but still really good news.
BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

Only 14 working days left for me until the Christmas break.

No presents bought yet. No decorations up yet. No food in for the Christmas yet.

Still strangely serene about everything though. Be grand.

Genuinely convinced that Kennedy Curse is real. Sending strength to Tatiana Schlossberg.

An odious man who is genuinely, distressingly, hilarious often enough. He’d make a killing as an old bitter NY Queen if he was in any way a redeemable person.
loathe and resent how funny this is
A reporter asks if Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist. Mamdani starts to give a delicate answer.

Trump (smiles, pats Mamdani's arm): "That's OK, you can just say yes. It's easier. I don't mind."

Me: Alright, time to listen to “new” music so I can keep up with the charts.

Me, 2 songs later: “Oooh, Jennifer Rush’s version of The Power of Love”

I’ll always slide back into the 80s somehow.

Why not take their glasses, gold tooth fillings, and shoes off them while you’re at it. Absolute ghouls - and this is supposed to be the Labour Party.

Not even Red Tories, they’re Red Reform with this kind of approach.
Govt minister Alex Norris is asked if the govt will take jewellery from people [fleeing war and persecution]. Norris says the govt won't be taking peoples wedding rings but they will seize assets.

Things I miss about Ireland that only people who lived in Ireland understand:

- Everyone tunes into the Six One
- Pennys and Dunnes losing the run of themselves in the lead up to the toy show
- The Toy Show
- Will you meet my friend?
- Breakfast Rolls

Michael D Higgins, with his wife Sabina, has left Áras an Úachtaráin for the final time as president.

He was given a guard of honour by members of the Sanctuary Runners, a charity of which he is patron.

The President’s term of office ends at midnight.

Friend: What are you and Eóin doing for Christmas?

Me: Oh, Eóin is heading back to Ireland, as he hasn’t spent time with his family in a while.

Friend: You’ll be alone? Will you be ok?

Me: I’ll have the dog, Hallmark Christmas RomComs, and a case of Bollinger. I’ll be fantastic.
