Red sky in the morning….

Congratulations Paul Lynch —brilliant! Big hello from all Rolling Sun Book Festival, we’ll celebrate on your behalf.

It’s taken me 25 years to switch my mobile phone from an-overpriced provider to a reasonably priced one ⁦An Post⁩, but this happens on the day I switch. So no phone calls for me til it’s sorted.

Seriously grand stretch in the evening.

Another wonderful concert with ⁦codasinging⁩ in Westport tonight. Fabulous gig.

Wintry look to Croagh Patrick today.

Westport House looking stunning…as usual.

Oh ⁦Marks&SpencerIreland⁩ why would you do this? Spent ages finding great-fitting jeans before Christmas. So good I bought the same pair today only to find when I got them home that today’s ‘regular’ length is shorter than last year’s ‘regular’. How is shorter an improvement?

I forgot how I love London.

What a great spot of an April Tuesday.
