He was one of two extremely posh English Dominics in the class so he was known as Westy. He spent most of his time in the drama society.

There's a saying in Ireland, "he'd get up on a breath of wind."

My GenX brother drank from the hose after someone used it to mix pesticide in a watering can and had to go have his stomach pumped out before the streetlights came on. But only because my mum heard him turning the outside tap on. Who knows how many times he actually did it and survived.

It might be. Although my sleep started being similar at 37 yo.
If you haven't started building an unshakeable bedtime routine yet, it's the 💯 best way to start fixing this.
Read Why We Sleep, Matt Walker, try lots of things, find what works for you.
A complex magnesium pill at bedtime helped me.

Sirens, the one with Kevin Bacon on the Flix right now.
Friends and Neighbours on Apple.
Both with the "wow, did you know the Mexican staff have real but stereotyped lives" sub-plots.

Have you read Robin Wall Kimmerer's book about them? It's gorgeous.
The east coast ones sometimes don't have as sweet a berry as western.

It's like gap year, which became a big thing in the nineties, mostly in the UK. You'd meet these kids in backpacker hostels, they were usually from the Home Counties somewhere but very vague about where exactly.

Trade exposure means exposure to risk of external shock. Oil and lumber are both commodities that are prone to price/ tariff shock.
But actually how is Calgary any less exposed? Or a bunch of other cities.

If/ when you ever have the spoons for it, report them to Service Nova Scotia who is the regulator. They should not get away with that.

I have applied for one now but the lawyer asked me for it today and she needed it three weeks ago so I am kinda screwed. I guess I’ll go in and cry at them tomorrow.

I really try to be proactive and set up coffee dates regularly so I can connect with work type folks and I find people bale on me at the last minute All. The. Time. It's very frustrating, bc it takes up hours of my time to travel into town for nothing.

Sorry to hear that Paul has departed to the realm of eternal poetry.

Stay with me, the day is almost over and it is getting dark –
But he waved me aside with one wave of his hand,
Not contemptuously, but compassionately.
'Our night will come,' he smiled,
And he resumed chatting about my children,
All curiosity for their welfare and well-being.

The impact of that Paul Durcan poem on the Midlands of Ireland should never be under-estimated.

You can do this hard thing. You'll be so glad you did, sending my condolences for your loss and lots of strength for today and the next days.

Oliver Burkeman, author of Meditations for Mortals has a fantastic meditation on AI in his newsletter today. It's all this and also the aliveness that AI will never be able to create.
