Hi, I’m John. I’m here to engage in decent and intelligent conversations- something that sadly ended when the bird died…
I like wordplay and have a quirky sense of humour.
Here’s a photo of my cat, Jonesey.

If you think European leaders are pushovers let me remind you that many grew up protesting hardline governments during the toughest of times.
Here is the current Prime Minister of Poland, Donald Tusk, at a street protest in the 1970s. Cross him at your peril…

Slept in a U2 t-shirt and now I’m wide awake. I’m not sleeping.
Slept in a Beatles T-shirt and woke up, fell out of bed.
Slept in an REM T Shirt and needed to be called till I'd wake up (called till I'd wake up) called till I'd wake up

@ciaraioch.bsky.social I don’t know if you’re aware but the RTE news feed here seems to be sharing almost hourly updates on the Pope’s situation.
“Pope awake”. “Pope had good night’s sleep”. “Pope spoke for a few minutes”.
Waiting for the “Pope sitting up having a cup of tea that’s ‘grand’”.

Officially back to work today but, because of the way the week has fallen, we’ve been given the rest of the week off. Back on Monday!
Instead I’m meeting a friend for a long walk along the Rhine followed by a slap-up meal in Austria!

Beautiful but eerie long walk this afternoon as fog descended on the Rhine Valley. Great views across to Austria but not much to see below as visibility drops to just a few metres.

Was asleep by 11. Slept through all the fireworks. Now enjoying my morning coffee with my cat at 6am.

Just did my last workout of the year and it was a tough one! Feeling great after it but really sweaty…
Now off for a 5km power walk in the frosty -5 weather and back for a nice, early dinner…

My cats have been surprisingly quiet all week letting me sleep in until my alarm goes off.
And then I found out why. They found the stash of dried food and have been helping themselves to it. 400g in five days. I was wondering why the litter trays were constantly in need of cleaning out…

I had to spank my cat this morning.
She didn’t do anything wrong. She just likes being spanked.
She’s a complete perv.

Listening to Richard Boyd-Barrett, a man with the most middle-class name and upbringing, but who is active in working-class politics and I wonder if this is what 19th century Ireland saw in Charles Stewart Parnell.
