Tá mo chroí san ísiltír (Dún Dealgan) agus tá siúl agam go mbeidh an áit slán sábháilte i gcónaí...ach...ba mhaith liom beagán cósta anseo i gCill Chainnigh.

At the time of writing, Ireland is not a nuclear power, so my options are limited.

wait?! But I want cataclysmic climate change NOW

Or the side of your foot, to nudge them off a path. Beyond that, I don't know what the problem is 🤷‍♀️

I just put the child down for a nap and some eejit outside is relocating leaves for some reason.

I *think* your whole house would've tripped before things got out of hand, but yeah, scary business when it happens.

It'd be contributing, yeah. The radiator is 13A and if it's not that well made then it'd be drawing a lot of power when it's on full. The plug was probably cracked already and then the twin socket working extra hard by having the diffuser on at the same time.

Oh man. That crack probably loosened the fuse inside the plug. That's the live pin that's burnt. Was it sharing a twin socket with something else?

! What kind of plug?

At the same time, you never know the knock-on effects. When I was a 1st year in college I overheard an older student admonish her classmate for using the R word. So I never used it again thereafter. That person has no idea she's the reason I stopped.

Chuir an snáithe seo brón mór orm. Is mise an t-aon duine amháin ag caint le m'iníon as Gaeilge (agus níl 100% den ama) ach is cosúil go bhfuil brú ar an teanga fiú le páistí i ngaeilscoileanna. Mór an trua.

This is how you get cancelled.

It's mad. I even see it with my parents and my daughter. They're always saying to me "would you not wait until she's a bit older? It's just going to confuse her."
It runs deep. I think it just brings up a lot of painful memories for them. They can't really imagine actually *enjoying* wearing them.

Either way, I always struggle with the tuiseal ginideach nuair a bhímse ag labhairt Gaeilge.

it's a traditional Irish piece of headwear.

constantly explaining to my foreign friends that, in Ireland, zogabongs at a funeral isn't disrespectful.

seans go mbeidh sé beagán 🤏 gnóthach ag plé leis an cúige Uladh.
