Today I've listened to albums by 3 Irish acts that should be far more widely known. I know you could say this about tonnes of bands but it's such a treat dipping back into older independent vinyl.
Garret Moore - In Cold Darling
Anne Mieke - Idle Mind
Magic Pockets - Volcano of the Bleeding Skies

I've been in Sri Lanka one month today. I cried this morning looking out at the Indian Ocean, thinking how fucking lucky I am not to be in Gaza or the West Bank & how much we have failed them. I was embarrassed at the time but I think that's the appropriate response to born luck.

Val sleeps on one of us for the entire treks/safaris we take, then magically wakes up when we reach peaks, herds of elephants, any food is served or we think about ordering a beer. It's a babe's life.

Went for a hike in the spice region of Matale today, with Val on my back throughout. His little hand on my shoulder has made me well up each time I've looked at it since. 🇱🇰

Just finished work for almost 5 months. The last 6 months has not been easy, trying to raise a new baby whilst spending 40+ hours a week looking at a live genocide/Trump v2.0 and the ongoing insepid performance of both UK & Irish politics.
Already on my way to Dublin.
Peace ✌🏻
