My local newsagent stocks the conspiracy rag 'The Light' because it's a free paper. Since it's free, whenever I see it there I take all the copies home with me to burn in my fire. They probably think they have great local readership.

I really didn't think one of my nicest meals of 2025 would be a thrown-together saffron & butternut squash risotto.

It's true. No matter where you are, how busy or big the room is, if there is a single American in the room. You'll hear them.

Done all the prep I can around the house... Very worried what Eowyn will do. The back of the house is very exposed to westerly and South westerly winds coming off Belfast Lough. Forecast to be 80mph for three hours from that direction 😭

The average temperature over the last couple of weeks here was 5.5c. Bang on for this time of year. At no point was it actually 5.5c for any meaningful period of time. Great illustration of how difficult climate change communication can be, and statistics in general.

More than two hours before high tide here in Seapark #holywood. Gonna be a rough one for the people down at the Esplanade. Don't think the Dirty Duck will be accessible this afternoon!

The accusation that bluesky is an echo chamber, infers that life should be some sort of continuous debate club. It's not. I speak to my friends more than my enemies in real life, why not online?

At a wonderful spa with outdoor hot pool. Glorious experience laying there with light snow falling. But all my brain wants to do is to calculate the colossal heat loss and CO2 emissions.
