Listening to Pascal tonight and every time he says Budget, I am hearing him say Bullshit.
Which is bizarre, and arguably Freudian.

So is it a good thing if your national flag is randomly hanging from a street lamp? If it was an advertisement for something it would need permission or it’s litter.
I’m very conflicted by equating the national flag with reportable litter though.

Can't believe anyone here's daft enough to believe it, but just in case let me reiterate: none of my paintings are authorized to be sold on Temu. The hundreds of items there with my paintings on, are using stolen images, are very poor resolution, and I'm earning nothing. Feel free to report them.

Mulling over my still-wired despite 5am being near, I’ve recollected the non-decaf coffee at 2.30pm and the half-can of non-decaf cola at 6.30.
Woe.
Woe.

Let me share a #painting of a place I've loved in the west of Ireland. "Connemara Field" came out of a day in south Conamara where I sat for hours by the side of a road with my bicycle, my paints, and my dreams. #SpeirGorm #ArtYear

Watching cars flying down the bus lane on the N4 before Liffey Valley on the approach to town. A couple nearly wiped out by buses as the bus leave the bus stop.
Would love to see them all get hauled in.

I got a phone call today. The man ringing asked to speak to me by name and advised he was calling from Visa services as there had been unusual activity on my account. I asked which card and he said ‘your visa debit starting with…’ He asked did I know where my card was and had I shared details or

At Bloom yesterday filling a competition entry for Pink Lady Apples. Had to choose a title from Mr or Mrs as part of the form, so essentially, being neither, I couldn’t fill out the form.
The Pink Lady Lady said I was making a whole fuss about nothing.
More annoyed with her than with the form now.

Went to the local coffee shop for thank you drinks tonight. Chatted with a random stranger for ages. And then some puzzle pieces slotted together and I got a massive hug because my mother was a huge influence on her life in many ways.
Yes, that’s you crying.

Watching30 hits of 1988 on BBC2 and I’ve just learned I had a lot of wrong lyrics to Deacon Blue’s Real Gone Kid.
It was not written for the over 45s and nobody was living out.
Oh subtitles, how you change things.

Tonight I have learned some things
1) I still enjoy the TV show The Bay
2) I can’t sleep when I wear earplugs and my hair tied up. One or the other, not both
3) I am a lot more sensitive to caffeine than I used to be

It looks like I’m getting new neighbours next door and it makes me very sad. I miss the elderly man who lived there.
