Despite my handle, I am not a morning person. Underachieving polymath.
Not sure what is in the pink ones.

I've had literally 100s of bib numbers for races over the years but this is the best. 🎵 a 5, a 6, a 5678🎵 #corkcitymarathon

Because 2025 = 45² and 45 is a triangle number, we get these lovely sums:
2025 = (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9)²
2025 = 1³ + 2³ + 3³ + 4³ + 5³ + 6³ + 7³ + 8³ + 9³
Pleasingly the next triangle number 55 is 10 more, so get ready for a repeat of this fact in the year 3025.

Preparing to ring in the New Year with family and a local(ish) Kinnegar stout. Hope everyone has a great 45*45!

Trying the Bundoran #parkrun for the first time. Probably one of the most scenic runs in the country with lovely volunteers and a nice crowd of participants. Lots of families out for a morning jog.

Catching up on the last couple of episodes of Junior Taskmaster on the couch with a pint of Mi Wadi and a selection box, which I believe are the optimum watching conditions. #JTM

Painting in the windows of Busáras. Don't think they are doves - Christmas is the one time of year that Bus Éireann make peace with their nemesis, pigeons.

All Christmas presents officially bought - 10 days ahead of schedule. Question now is, will they arrive on time? Also, does everyone do the same near the end, where you give up sticking to a budget and just get whatever you think the person would like?

Yes, once upon a time Santa sold something even unhealthier than Coca-Cola.
Here's a bunch of vintage tobacco ads you'll find fantastic/shocking/horrific/fun or all of the above.
Every year the reactions to these become more interesting.
