Sometimes it pays to just write that letter to your councillors about an issue....
Not perfect as it doesn't go the full length but it's a start...

Parking a load of land rovers on Bell's field for the wedding photos
And Ineos grenadiers to take them to and from the ceremony, Jesus wept.

Good evening to you all except for the dickhead clocked by the speed radar (accurate based on the speedo in the car I was driving yesterday) at 85 in the 50 zone and the wagon in the land rover looking at her phone.
That said it was a lovely evening to walk to the gym in Furbo

Leaving the house this morning using my jit approach to catching the bus (0650), realised no leap card half way up the road
Back home, missed the bus and this is what faced me from the airport roundabout circa 0810.... Lesson learned 😂
A sprint was needed to make 0845 train

A lot of scare mongering about the proposed Greenway to Kinsale.
Unfortunately the noisy minority get the headlines
Thought this was a great contribution from Conn Murphy (farmer ) in Ballinhassig to the whole thing (southern star epaper)

Since I got the cargo bike (e) I never bothered actually timing how long it was to cycle to town.
Decided to check today. 20 minutes. (To St. John's college)
Versus a car (16 min), a pretty favourable time, and versus an acoustic bike (34min) a pretty decent time saving
