Fun afternoon with the family, Odeon doing €5 tickets each including their fee, so we went to the 40th anniversary of Back to the Future, which was awesome to watch on the big screen.

Wonderful day in Dublin Ink, getting my first tattoo, with my lovely wife also getting her first tattoo.
A nerdy couple tattoo for us.

Sarah Carey whom has had two articles about McGuinness for Áras recently, & was fired by the Irish Times over the Moriarty Tribunal is not a friend of Mná na hÉireann, and is a kindred spirit of Steen given these opinion pieces in the last year.
So was it McGuinness or Steen she wanted?

So it isn't the TG4 game that is blacked out in Ireland, but Premier Sports have an exclusive game which will be blacked out for 90 minutes after finish.
Very frustrating, we don't have the option to subscribe digitally directly to Premier Sports in Ireland.

Had a fun evening last night playing boardgames at work, not a great turnout but more jellies were consumed and the games were fun.
Played Harmonies for the first time, and then played twice more. And then we finished our with two games of Railroad Ink.

Wanted to improve the visualisation, and since this is all markdown, went and learnt how to do tables.

had to do some work today, pah. but back into #Civ7
I have finished the first age, Age of Antiquity today, 7.5 hours play all told. Unfortunately Parsa was not captured, so on the final turn of the age, I burnt its hinterlands.
I think visually the game is great, and I am enjoying the gameplay.

And what is Ballymun getting as a replacement, nothing, surely nothing this is a disaster? Or are they getting the 46a replacement plus another 24 hour bus with 10 minutes gaps for most of the day, hmm, let's check?

This sure looks like the photo they have used to demonstrate "reckless" scooter use is a person swerving around an illegally parked car in a cycle lane.
