Sending solidarity and love to those who are still held in bondage to the world of international money movement/financial technology customer support over the next few days.

The Black Friday/Cyber Monday period and the aftermath coaxes some utter rotters out of the woodwork.

London was mostly very much fun. Got to see Moon Safari and they blew the head off me.

Got to meet up with the prog brethren and one of the Belfast lads overseas, also got to meet up with the wonderful Alty who I have known donkeys years and her partner Sam as well.

I'll be flying back around 11.

Fuckton of Queenslanders staying at the same place as me.

Solid humans to a man/woman.

Likeably abrupt. No malice.

Refreshing, tbh.

It's actually outrageously good to be back in London again.

All my visits here have sparked incredible joy.

Seeing Moon Safari tomorrow will be very amazing and very special.

Sound. Very good. VERY NICE.

Cork Airport staff are legitimately fabulous people.

Travelling whilst neurochaotic is easy here.

Good souls.

p.s. They had sunflower lanyards here as well. Total class.

Beautifully put.
I’m told by younger Dublin friends, that if one of their number says something reactionary, they are immediately called ‘Enoch’. He’s Ireland’s most infamous anti-trans activist. His behaviour has associated the anti-trans stance with being ‘utterly intransigent’ & irrational.

Sauntering off to London for a few days.
Cork Airport is one of the best and most efficient airports on the island of Ireland.
Going to be seeing Skelleftea's favourite sons, Moon Safari.

Sunshine prog in November?

Ratherrrrrr.

Fox hunting should have been banned a long time ago.

I fully support Ruth Coppinger's bill to have it completely nixed.

Effortlessly off-kilter. A mastercraft in arrangement, songwriting and performance. Fantastic harmony vocals as well.

I occasionally forget about how incredible Major Parkinson's music is, but it all comes back to me all too quickly.

What a band.

Bugger my rags and strap me to a tree and refer to me [casually of course] as Jimford, it's absolutely Baltic out yonder.

I have a new-found respect for the bright young doyens and doyennes of tomorrow who despite it all, insist on frolicking cette soirée.

Laudation is due.

It's MTU and UCC Christmas Day in Cork City which means the place is overrun with loud exuberant youths in Christmas jumpers that will no doubt be up to hijinx.

Woe to anyone looking for a quiet pint anywhere this evening.

None of that for me, kthx.

Dear person on the bus with your phone on speaker, I did not wish to become privy to your conversation.

Please obtain some headphones.

This is a rather excellent development. Cross border cooperation and a significant step on the road towards reunification.

Ah, hospital check-ups.

They used to fill me with a great deal of trepidation back in the day but considerably less so these days.

Nothing to fear. Sign in, wait, get the device scanned, get form for work that proves that I attended my appointment, leave, go home.

Wee buns.

I think it is indeed time to slumber and I do love this song.
