Lovely breakfast
Apple cake baked
Homemade lasagne made and in the freezer
Chicken stock reducing on the hob
Two christmas cakes out of the oven
About to start dinner, nice red, stupid movie
Plus, listening to great music all day
That's a good weekend to me

What's the name for that amazing feeling you get when you finally get around to a very quick and easy bit of life admin that you've been putting off forever?

The impact of Patti Smith on Irish music. Her memoirs have been really popular here too. Interesting article:

I love choosing books for upcoming holidays. Open to recommendations for trip next week.

I have The Dispossessed by Ursula K LeGuin, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong, and Perfection by Vincenzo Latronico lined up. Cannot wait. Probably need one to two more.

The Robbie Williams soundcheck has just started as I'm having breakfast. He's sounding good singing Feel.

I'm not particularly an Oasis fan but living very close to Croke Park I can say that last night's gig sounded fantastic. I got tickets as a local resident for my brother for tonight and he is in for a great night I'd say.
Great vibe around the local streets too.

Glad to see this reported. The psychological needs of people with dementia and their families are so often unmet. We need to expand access to psychological care including the counselling mentioned here but also many other peri- and post-diagnostic supports.

Great day today at the Memory Clinic Conference arranged by the National Dementia Service and HSE. Very interesting overview of where we came from and where we're going, almost 'state of the nation' style.

The narrow way we do formal meetings & conferences- an agenda to work through, or a panel who do the talking, a few min of Q&A. So many views go unheard.

Myron Rogers says “the process you use to get to the future is the future you get”.

We need more creative ways to enable richer participation.

Was pleased to discuss challenges adjusting to life changing diagnoses of PSP and CBD and all things thoughts and feelings today at PSPA Ireland information event at Tallaght University Hospital with colleagues from Neurology, Physiotherapy and Social Work. Some great (and challenging) chats.

Ah yes. The Saturday evening of a bank holiday weekend 🙌 😎

Very pleased to be part of this day arranged by the PSPA Ireland next week with colleagues focussing on adjusting to diagnoses of PSP and CBS. There's so much to say, hopefully can do it some justice.

Sunday. Usually a quiet day for me. Stay in bed a little late, walk into town to buy fruit, maybe see family, read my books, listen to music, cook, watch a movie. Is it the first or last day of the week?

Great to hear these issues being highlighted. Let's hope this investment actually happens this time. The north Georgian core should be spectacular. Schemes like the Living City Initiative although positive have not fully worked in this area.
