Speaking personally, despite what a certain U.S. president might say, exposure to vaccines and painkillers does not cause a child to become autistic. Exposure to epic 1980s dark fantasy children’s game show ‘Knightmare’ however does.

It did at least in my case.

I hear the special branch in Newry's video shops were seen taking notes on everyone who borrowed Michael Collins.

I treated myself this afternoon by going to the cinema to see Mickey 17 (granted I did have a voucher left over from Christmas) Pattinson deserves credit for playing multiple distinct characters with the same face. Also Ruffalo plays a villain that is the perfect combination of Trump and Musk.

Listening to a lot of news and social media over the last several years has left me feeling depressed about the future. Every once in a while I have to remind myself the most people in the world are good and kind. I'm not sure if this helps the rest of you, but I find that it works for me.

The city centre was busy today. People were very generous and thanked me for Foyle Search and Rescue's work in the city. Glad to be home though, my feet are aching. Thanks again Derry.
