Weirdly, not as abnormally normal as I thought.
I like fixing things, and occasionally, I like making things.
Here for the retrocomputing community and some music.
If only I was as interesting as my musical choices 😃

Cacophony 101 shuffle play, cause I hate to know what's next..

My favourite pub for a pint.

The Christmas elves have definitely been busy with the decorations.

A week day treat. Most times I like to coral my beans, but now and again it's nice to let them roam free on the plate and mingle.

No plates were licked clean for the purpose of these photos..

The 11pm special showing last night of the Christmas classic, #TheShining at the beautiful art deco single screen #StellaCinema. Retro cinema at it's very best.

Some bedtime reading. It's probably not the happiest of reads, with such sadness and grief at times, but it's a very interestingly told one. One that will stick with me for a little while after finishing.

Despite been know as the Terror, the more time I spend with this playful, genuine fella, the more I notice the dishonesty of some folk. Sometimes it's hard to tell if they are trying to convince me or themselves of their utter shite talk 😁

Happy Friday 🤘

My #atari2600 #heavysixer bought and refurbished a little while back, but never posted here. Recapped, cables, repaired and resoldered, a new TIA chip, 2 PSs as the first was causing noise interference on the video feed and a composite mod to finish. Still so much and so impressive .

Mastichari, Kos

For me, there is nothing better than sharing nice food, drinks, stories, and life with nice, interesting people, and Mastichari is such a beautiful town with such friendly people. It's definitely a place worth sharing. My new second home.

Yamas..

A peaceful Sunday morning. The perfect time for some garden diy and operating a chop-saw and impact driver, especially in somebody else's garden and neighbourhood 😁

Apparently, being in some ways, a private person, and just getting on with life is very off putting for some folk. So to all the private people who dont like to make a song and dance about things and just live their life, I say sláinte. To the rest, Póg mo thóin.

Sláinte arís..

Some quiet contemplation while it settles.

Just the one before home.

Delightfully Delicious, Arklow, and it surely was.

Enjoy your Sunday.

What was meant to be a temporary fix done out of curiosity is still ,120 million characters later, working fine. I think it's now a permanent fix.

I loved this show and character. I always thought the theme by Darling Violeta was a perfect fit, moody, and atmospheric. Just hearing it brings back lots of happy memories. Like travelling 170 miles and staying in a hotel, just so I didn't miss the Season 1 double bill finally. Good call

Fields of gold.

Quiet country roads, sunshine, and some good music. The joys of travelling on the road for work.

Guinness for strength.

Recently, on the way home from the pub, I tripped and fell in a field. Knowing it was pointless trying to correct myself, I lay on my back, looking up at the stars and thought of this song. 5 hours later, I woke up being judged by a horse.

Living here is not what it seems...

Beautiful
