As the doors close on 2024, I’m now officially Out of Office, and out of the country for the next few weeks. Reflecting on this year, professionally, it’s been one of transition and exciting challenge. But, for now, it’s time to recharge and reconnect with some hobbies!

Whether true to fact, or a compelling fictionalisation of what happened, #SayNothing is one of the better mini-series I’ve watched for some time. Some stellar performances, particularly by actresses like Maxine Peake, Lola Petticrew and Hazel Doupe who deliver boldly gripping performances.

Saw the film #Conclave last night. Ralph Fiennes was masterful, Stanley Tucci was as good as ever and John Lithgow delivered as always. The plot was compelling and despite some odd CGI during one particular scene, overall- well worth a watch.

The only storm I’d like to be affiliated with is the one I cooked up in the kitchen #StormDarragh

It’s likely flying to come up a bit over the next day or so…. The -GH is silent, it’s pronounced Da-Ra.

The decision as to whether to include the second R, well, wars have been waged for less.

Today is #WorldAidsDay.

Huge progress has been made in prevention and treatment, more can and needs to be done to increase knowledge and awareness, challenge misinformation and protect communities.

Questioning the integrity of prevention science around HIV/AIDS is both dangerous and alarming.
