Important to separate the fart from the fartist.

Gone!

The zip on my favourite bag finally broke today. Have had it for work and everything else since before COVID. Had to buy a rushed replacement at Heathrow and ended up buying the exact same type ❤️

Just landed at Dublin airport to see Bohs 2-0 up at halftime v Rovers. Huzzah! Also, nerves!

Over and back to London today. Bringing Things Remembered and Things Forgotten, the short story collection by Kyoko Nakajima, translated from Japanese by Ian McCullough MacDonald and Ginny Tapley Takemori.

Red Jumping Fox, a sculpture by Pascal Chesney, from Irish Arts magazine.

Watched Afire. I often find it hard to settle on a film to watch, but I've noticed that German films suit me. This one about an insecure young writer trying to write his follow-up in a remote cottage. Really good, unexpected - a thumbs up from me. homecinema.curzon.com/film/afire/

My kind of sunny day.

Book post! The Event by Sam Pink. Judging by his previous books and by the cover, I'm guessing it's about what a cool chilled out welcoming place the USA is these days.

I went to the gym this morning. It was quiet and looked like the men there had already been up for hours with young kids and were going for a break. My kinda gym crowd.

In 3 weeks I'll be back in beautiful West Cork where I'll be chatting to the mighty @johncreedon.bsky.social @wcorklitfest.bsky.social Sun 13th July at 1.30pm. Be great to see you if you're in Bantry that weekend! www.westcorkmusic.ie/events/2025/...

Ooooh Rhys Brennan almost scoring a beautiful looped volley. Bohs starting well here. Good to see Adam McDonnell in the team.

Currently learning Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes on guitar. The Internet is a rough town but when it comes to learning guitar it's a huge leap forward from what was available when I was first learning.

For Friday lunch I like to have a mix em gather em of all the food I dropped on my keyboard that week.

Just turning off my phone: take a quick screenshot, turn on the torch, activate Gemini AI assistant, four more taps of the screen, hold the down volume button for 13 seconds, and it's off.

SHE’S HERE! Happy publication day to @wednesdayerskin.bsky.social and her incredible new novel THE BENEFACTORS! I adored this book and it easily sits in my top 5 of the year so far - a brutal and brilliant story examining class and privilege from one of the best writers working today!

Thanks everyone for the help. Bluesky comes good. 🙏
