Twas a damp, dirty morning in #Dublin's fair city! Clearing now, but @irishferries.bsky.social captain just announced we're in for a windy crossing 😬 🤢 Hopefully the ferry stabilisers do their job! #speirgorm #climateaction #sustainabletravel #nofly

Murder most foul in #Maharees ... a sinister start to #Samhain in the wilds of West Kerry. Happy #Halloween everyone 🎃👻🧙‍♀️

Looking forward to attending the #NESC Ireland Conference tomorrow on "Energising the #Transition".

Excited to explore how we can support people's participation in the #energytransition and ensure everyone gets to benefit @alisheridan.bsky.social @diarmuidtorney.bsky.social #energy #speirgorm

So, Im a bit of a #fantasy fan, thought I'd look for treasures by favourite authors, found some @refeist.bsky.social, @tadwilliams.bsky.social ... when I looked for @robinhobb.bsky.social this threw me! Weirdly German edition of Hobb's Tawny Man seems to use artwork from William's Dragonbone Chair!

Seven hours in 30 seconds: time-lapse of #StormAmy in wild West Kerry. Hard to tell #MountBrandon exists! Unfortunately the camera just doesn't do justice to the rainfall and spray blowing from the sea. Plenty of seaweed on the other window from earlier! #speirgorm

Such a privilege to help represent #DinglePeninsula receiving award for Ireland's greenest place from @irishtimes.com and ESB today.To counterbalance"drowning in #climate doomerism" take hope from communities like these working to benefit local place AND planet earth- @kosull.bsky.social #speirgorm

Would this many do?!

My great great granduncle opened Spillane's Bar in #Maharees on the #DinglePeninsula in 1875, and it's been in my family since.
Incredibly proud of all my parents did with it and how my sister is carrying on the tradition ❤️

Had an unexpected hitchhiker today - a green lacewing. Such a lovely iridescent green, just thinking I should have captured her contrast with my purple Renault Zoe! Taking pleasure in the little things when the big thing seem so broken! #speirgorm #biodiversity #natureisbeautiful #wildatlanticway

26° in Maharees, on the #WestKerry coast yesterday, everyone I meet proclaiming loudly "long may it last" and all I can think of is the "this is fine" meme #showyourstripes #speirgorm #climatebreakdown

Wet wet wet in West Kerry too 🌧 Finally starting to feel a little more human here after a few days of being knocked by covid, hoping I can get some work done today!

Slightly less sunny in my location 😎

Saw this shared by Auke Hoekstra on *whispers* that other place. Nice to see some good news for a change #climatesky
Looking forward to exploring how solar can be part of a just energy transition through my PhD research! Please feel free to share useful links/ contacts 🙂

Saw a tip recently suggesting this kind of question is a good one for Chat gpt- just asked it to explain in plain English and got this - slightly long winded overall but thought the summary may be useful 🙂

I feel very lucky to have grown up here! My other half is a windsurfer - he can rig up in the garden and head out from there! He usually has it all to himself, though yesterday he had to share his space with a few others 😁

Hard to beat the view from my kitchen! Blue sky, blue sea, Brandon mountain shrouded in the background!
