Good for him… but seriously, the age limit? It’s an anathema in the 21st century. People are living longer, writers are emerging in their 50s, 60s and older. And more importantly, women who take time out of their careers (and aspirations) to raise families are adversely affected by age limits.

You should be. Most of us were proud and thankful to call him our president.
So proud of my father for all the passion, courage,care and vision he brought to the last 14 years as President of Ireland. Both my parents have always been driven by a deep wide love for Ireland & the world, for people, planet & possibilities. Looking forward to their next chapter! #Grá #spiergirm

Bagged six 1960s solid wood, six-panel doors for €120 and I’m so happy. One for the new en-suite, two for the new press downstairs, one and a half for the new built-in wardrobes and one for the door to my secret dungeon where I keep the other of half of my brain… the dangerous half. Mwah ha ha.

Drove through Ballybofey this evening, traffic slow as usual, meant I had time to look at the shop signs. Andies Supermarket needs the apostrophe that The Game’s Room doesn’t.

Found this plastic bait pot on the beach yesterday. Googled and it turns out there are quite a few arriving from Canada. Apparently, when contacted the owner had a good laugh.
If it were me I’d be mortally embarrassed that my plastic shit is being washed up 2,500 miles away.

Ah sure, judge, he’s a great supporter of the club and he coaches the under-fives and his father was a great GAA man and sure look it, ‘‘twas only a mild disagreement with the umpire and he’s from a fine well-regarded family and sure look it judge, the machete was his poor deceased mammy’s…

Went out for the day to Five Fingers Strand on Inishowen. Breathed deep the salten Atlantic air, walked the beach, let my mind drift .The dogs are exhausted, so are we, but we are happy. Peace to you all, may you find a Five Fingers Strand in your world.

I’m pretty sure my Great-Grandfather Francis would be apoplectic with the poppy shaggers. It would have been silent rage, though. After living though 4* wars, he was a quiet man who drank too much.

Went up the mountain in the twilight. The dogs were so happy. The Swilly looked stunning, little lights all the way up the shore to Port Salon. Inch was silhouetted and the air was still and mild. Didn’t take a photo. No point. You can’t capture Donegal with a camera, doesn’t matter how good.

I’m sure beards get past the ‘tear your skin off’ itching phase. I only hope it’s soon. Anyhow, progress selfie on Monday. If you’ve a spare euro/pound/dollar/goat, please donate to cancer research for my troubles. Thank you.
OH has just informed me that I’m not getting a shift until it’s shaved off so have pity, please.

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”
