Irish living in Edinburgh. People first attitude to life. Outdoors when I can: bikes, climbing, empty beaches, politics, cooking, cinema...kids almost flown...
Trying to find qualified experts, views outside my bubble and funnier side of life.

If Apple Vision doesn’t have a #TheyLive app then I’m not interested.

Stills from the John Carpenter movie They Live juxtaposed with pictures of Mark Zuckerberg, making it look like Roddy’s alien sunglasses are revealing Zuck as one of the aliens.

@fkamiah17 but isn't it an absolutely perfect example of how reductionist our politics and political commentary is now.

(And it was a brilliant bear trap from phone tapper morgan - challenge Sunak's conviction on his policy but make ot a big bet. Either way Sunak is screwed)

Annie Lennox calling for a ceasefire in Gaza at the end of her performance of Nothing Compares 2 U at the Grammys. I just know that if Sinèad was still here, she’d be calling for peace, humanity and ceasefire too. #Grammys

In Wroclaw, Poland each cathedral and even the rivers have a tactile model nearby for blind people to see them too. See more: themindcircle.com/mini-sculptu

Panoramic view of Loch Leathan with a small stony island in the middle. 
The calm waters near the shore reflect a magnificent blue sky dotted with fluffy clouds. 
In the distance, the basalt pinnacle Old Man of Storr stands out against the horizon.

Dawn at Yellowcraigs Beach in East Lothian, Scotland a few weeks ago.
Foreground is dominated by low tidal pools and rippled mounds of sand. On the horizon, to the right Berwick Law (hill), on the far left the island of Fidra, on the left is the Bass Rock. The sky is settled with the dominant colour pale blue i fused with the pale orange and yellows of a gentle dawn.

An almost spiritual experience at Glasgow's #BarrowlandBallroom last night to watch & listen to the unique #Lankum. A guy asked me when I was buying some merch who was in the crowd, I replied punks, rockers, blue grass, folk, trad. Why do they have such a following, they and their music is grounded and honest. Best live performance I have seen since #Nirvana and I felt incredibly connected to my Irishness. #BonoIsAPox (you had to be there) #freepalestine

Ah, Groundhog Day again. The day when Americans, who constantly demand more frequent and more accurate weather forecasts from trained meteorologists turn to an inaccurate (albeit kind of cute) large rodent for a forecast (which is wrong 60% of the time) of how the spring will turn out.

@petergleick hang on, if you flip a coin, you will be right 50% of the time. To be wrong 60% of the time seems like an achievement (although the opposite of the intended outcome).

Thanks for all of the suggestions on what to do about this cough.

I've compiled a list of the recommendations and I’m going to try everything at the same time!
