Married Corkman in Galway; culture, alienation, boredom & despair; nil satis nisi optimum💙; music, food, bit of politics; up with people; unless you're selling something I don't want, I usually follow back! #IDontDoCornflakes

my father passed away peacefully in his sleep this morning, my mother, his wife of 59 years, at his side- he was just weeks away from his 89th birthday- RIP Dad

another magical night in Roisín Dubh, Galway- this time in the company of Tom Smith performing his solo material, as well as Editors’ songs- very capably supported by Nick Willes, both lovely chaps! 😬

lots of flowers now, as well as two very tall stalks that have no flowers- more like young trees than flowers, however I still enjoy seeing the growth

Herself has a calendar in the kitchen for our days off, planned events etc.
I recently added a few gigs I’m going to & she asked why I’d written in The Wedding Present a full month after our wedding anniversary 🤔
however, she was relieved to discover that, in November, I will not become a New Dad 😂

a beautiful sunny day today, went with the Mediterranean vibes this evening & did my twist on a ‘seafood paella’- took it up a notch by dining ‘al fresco’, or ‘having notions by eating in your back garden’, as it’s known in Galway 😅

a minor foot injury means I’m off work for a few days- I’m following the doctor’s actual words of “sofa, TV, burgers & beer” 😬
I spoiled myself this morning with a homemade Moose Café-inspired hash potato with fried eggs, washed down with the mandatory pot of coffee 👌
