Next stop New York City ☘️💚☘️

Astoria the Wild Turkey poses for her closeup on Main Street, Roosevelt Island. She seems to enjoy walking this street in the evening, where residents often greet her and take photos, even though foraging opportunities are sparse. 🦃 ❤️

Tomorrow … London … looking forward - first visit of many in 2025

“As a Tesla driver you were always the fool: the Green party voter, the world saviour, the CO2 guy. But now you’re in a category that’s no longer funny.” www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Ready to go here, LAX-DUB with @aerlingus.bsky.social … #tired

Saw this gorgeous bird on an ocotillo in the desert today - don’t know what it is but it had orange cheeks - birds are the best thing about the #SoCal desert - so many & such variety

There really is nowhere as gorgeous as Ireland when the sun is out

What a beauty … #Pontiac

This is the real problem … “a majority of Americans like what they have seen and heard so far” …

How it started (Nov 24) … how it’s going (Feb 25) #DesertX #Sunnylands #RanchoMirage

20th Annual #ModernismWeek starting in #PalmSprings 13 Feb … this year’s colour is a rather fetching shade of mauve - looking forward to some of the events next week @modernismweek.bsky.social

Last night’s movie was #Sphere based on #MichaelCrichton’s book of the same name … it was ok but the book’s far better

Tuning into Friday night’s @mickeyundertone.bsky.social fab radio show from the #SoCal desert this afto - mellow Sunday in the sun - that Bronagh Gallagher song you played is a corker Mickey #Derry #DerryFolks

Tonight’s movie was fresh & clever sci-fi #Companion … #Recommend

Visited my favourite bookshop in the whole world today - #SpaceCowboyBooks in the hi desert on the way up to Joshua Tree - he has a pure class collection & is a treasure trove of knowledge #scifi

Looks like the US/EU tech trade war has started... www.businesspost.ie/tech-news/tr...

Well done #Brexit with your #GPSR rules! Killing, punishing & destroying small businesses, sole traders & self-employed creatives who rely on trading to/fromUK to #NIreland The risk of getting fined thousands of £. Have had 4 indie orders cancelled this morn (gifts, stationery) through no choice 😡🇪🇺

Loved A Complete Unknown this week - Ed Norton as Pete Seeger steals the show - he’s brilliant - #BobDylan fans - don’t let the minor niggles put you off, you come away from the cinema feeling as though you’ve been in a Time Machine

Meanwhile - a flash of electric purple in our back yard …

Also starting to get meaningful …

Starting to get meaningful …

Today - breakfast then tackling my tax return … #smallgroan

It’s been this way in Ireland since the start of COVID - that’s why @awakenhub.bsky.social has grown so quickly (#AwakenHub)

Any takers for #XFiles aliens …

I watched & really enjoyed @williamshatner.bsky.social’s 2023 Documentary “You Can Call Me Bill” on my Dublin to LAX flight yesterday - I found it both interesting & very moving - will definitely watch it again - thank you Bill - especially liked the idea of growing the Redwood (hopefully not soon!)

Good morning from the #SoCal desert - another beautiful day in paradise

Looking forward to seeing this again this week #LivingPyramid #Sunnylands #AgnesDenes #DesertX Wonder if it’s changed much in 2 months?

Breaking out the precious stash #Iceland #OmNom #chocolate #liquorice

#Donegal sunrises are one bonus from this bleak time of year - Happy Friday everyone

When did it become “a thing” for people to choose a word for their forthcoming year? I missed that memo …

Chilly at the beach today but no snow (we have a special #Inishowen microclimate) - saw a small flock of five turnstones at Sweet Nellie’s - their plumage is spectacular in flight (I wasn’t quick enough)

It would be far more impactful & annoying to #JeffBezos to vote with your feet, buy local & stop using #Amazon #justsayin
