Flying from the US to Dublin yesterday morning, Saturday 5th April. This was the view south, was even more dramatic on the left side of the plane. The photo looks a little soft and even possible AI'ish but it was just cleaned up a little as it was grainy from a 4 year old phone.

Was on the bus trying to get home, not having a bad day, lovely bit of sun out. bus is packed but I got a seat up top down the back and noticed a bunch of feral children and teens in trackies getting on aswell. Anyways they sat down the back surrounding me but i just sat there thinking they would keep to themselves. Nope they were swinging about sitting sideways in their seat and the fellas kept switching seats and pushing into me almost sitting on my seat. They kept looking at me like I was the issue here and then a little skanger no more that 13-14 does the aul "here mister have you got xyz" I ignored it but when he waved his hand infront of my face inches away from my nose I'd had enough

Now most people just say no and let themselves be a butt of a joke or just be picked on and intimidated but I decided I had enough of these little feckers and turned to them and told them to feck off. It took about 5 minutes for the little scrote to gain the courage to start looking up and saying to say it again. But I just ignored them the rest of the journey. It was pathethic they had a slightly bigger older teenager sit down beside me to try intimidate me by looking at me. I just stared back. Was I wrong in general? or was I just being an idiot with no self preservation?

I feel like we are way too complacent here and this happened on a bus going out to a rural town. maybe in Dublin its different but I feel like we dont do enough to stand up to it in general, I'm in my 20's and me and my mates never got on like that at that age, bothering other people, especially adults.

Harris posted this on Bluesky and possibly TikTok/X, he deleted it since, it was supposed to have the tagline 'the road ahead' ( An Ród so Romham) but the AI app changed 'Ród' to 'Bod', Irish for penis :D

Great drying in Galway today! These guys are working on their tan.

Saw david gray last night. The man himself and his band were phenomenal.

The crowd on the other hand. Christ almighty. Nonstop up and down to the bar. At one stage he was telling a lovely story about the passing of his father and he had to shush the crowd and near plead with them not to go to the bar. He did so well to make it kindof banter-y but you knew he was annoyed/disappointed.

I will never understand people paying that much money for a gig and talking their way through it and going up and down to the bar so many times. I won’t mention the ‘ole ole’s’. Made me feel like a proper curmudgeon.

Mass Aerial Survey of Ireland currently underway, most likely to update google/bing maps.

Ryan Adams played in the waterfront hall last night. Heartbreaker tour, playing the full album. Signs everywhere saying no flash photography as he has eplipsiy. He was a rambling mess, slow motion car crash.

Played a good bit of heartbreaker. Wasnt too bad.

And then at the end of this set someone flashed him with a camera. And he storms off. But he came back on.

The second half was meant to be the greatest hits. Hour and a half of him steadily getting drunker or something. I'm not sure. Just jazz with him stumbling around.

Someone from his crew should've stepped in and taken off stage it was that bad. Watching someone having a breakdown. The man is not well.

A weird weird gig.

Think he's playing Dublin tonight. I can't imagine he'll be in any shape to perform.

Trying to watch Love/Hate on the RTE Player and it’s an absolute nightmare. When it’s not stopping for ad breaks it’s just freezing altogether and the best part is I’m required by law to pay for it 😐 Has anyone EVER had a good experience with it?

I've been waking up unsesasonably early as of late. Think its the early morning sun. Going on my second group hike later today and looking forward to it. As a recovering lonely lad in his late 30s Im feeling grateful and appeeciate of having the opportunities I've been missing in my life.
