Had a little party last night to celebrate my daughter Mórrígan. (Obviously wasn’t going to do a Christening)

Had a lovely spread of cheese and set up a little retro game corner.

Also displayed a signed Jim Fitzpatrick print of his artwork of The Mórrígan.

Was a fun night.

Anyone want a ticket to the sold out Hundreds of Beavers live tour at the @lighthousecinema.bsky.social this evening? I was hoping to go but am tied up with work stuff.

Just made a big bowl of popcorn and got a cold beer from the fridge and I am now sat for my most anticipated movie of the year….

Haha. Was sorting through some stuff and just found the swipe card to the toilets in the Central Hotel that I must have mistakenly walked away with at some point. Little historical artefact now.

Time to take down the Michael D Higgins figurine from the mantelpiece and put up the Catherine Connolly one…

Took the family to the circus this evening and have to say it was very good and well worth the money. Called Circus Vegas, currently at Clare Hall for the next few days.

Absolute ordeal getting to the polling office this afternoon, especially with the baby in her buggy. The one footpath all dug up and the bus stops removed and drivers not stopping at the temporary ones so I can’t even get a bus. You’d be completely screwed if you relied on a wheelchair.

The moment I’d feared happened today. Someone on the Bus asked if I was my baby’s grandad.

Will this make them more affordable for people looking for a home?

“Oh absolutely not!”
