We all hope that we can make a change in this world. Even for just one person. Something meaningful, something impactful even. So that when we die, our defining moment is a good one. I can only hoped to be remembered in this way. Such poetic beauty.

He's been wandering around the house like Groucho Marx for two hours.

Walter the Shih Tzu got a Dentastix after dinner, as he does every day. But he isn't eating it. He's just carrying it about like a cigar.

Pinching myself as it sinks in that I've spent time sitting next to Catherine Connolly sharing my work with women and the archives. What a way to spend a Saturday.

A lovely day at the Digging At 60 conference at the Seamus Heaney Centre. 60 years since Death Of A Naturalist was published. My small contribution was taking a look at Heaney's 1966 in film.

The overhead images at the end of today's stage were stunning. The sun casting bike shadows. ♥️ #LaVuelta

The final metres of a sprint. Each of the bikes has its own shadow.

So that's just the four gigs in the last week. 😁 Sigur Rós were amazing again last night in Dublin. I think I preferred it to Belfast because you can actually sit too close in a gig and right up front, I missed a load of stuff going on with the orchestra.

Set up for Sigur Rós and the Ulster Orchestra in Bord Gáis Theatre last night. Empty stage.

Gerard McCarthy's reposnse to Maureen Lipman's accusations and attack in The Telegraph is an absolute masterpiece. He totally dissects her statement line by line. Just brilliant. This mic drop of a closing statement too.

"Maureen has also suggested that I should 'grow up'.

I sincerely hope I continue to have that opportunity.

Tens of thousands of children in Gaza never will."

This is what Newry Canal could be. The volunteer-run Iúr Cinn Fleadh runs these Trad Cruises with no council support and they are wonderful. Spending a few hours with Piaras Ó Lorcáin.

SM full of local politicians congratulating themselves on Newry Park. Meanwhile this is what the historic Newry Canal looks like.

This idiot looking out of the car as if he was never going to be allowed to be outside ever again, despite the fact that he only ever goes in the car to go for a long walk.

These are gorgeous but that tableau is incredible! I found this in an antique shop. It's from Le Soir Illustré magazine, July 1951 and it's one of my most treasured things.

An illustrated map of the Tour de France 1951. It's the full route, surrounded by cartoons.

A cartoon illustration of the end of the stage of the Tour de France. It is a humorous look at the race including a policeman trying to direct the riders.

CMAT in Belfast. The best gig, the classest crowd, Sweep had a blast and someone gave me a Daniel O'Donnell nightie AT the gig 😂

Me in an insane Daniel O'Donnell nightie. His head is the size of my entire body. Also Sweep the dog is in the photo.

Current view. Is it better that I can't see the gig? The only song I've recognised so far is his cover of Joe Cocker's cover of A Little Help From My Friends. 🙄

People standing up in front of us at a gig. Pricks.

Newry Pride was joyous today. We can't underestimate what it means to even have it here. And to see Omagh and Mid-Antrim Pride there was brilliant.

A hand written sign at Pride. The sign reads "who do you think designed your wedding dress"

More signs. 1 reads "you know things are bad when a white straight man is marching"
Another reads "less bitter more glitter"

A cardboard cutout of Madonna or maybe it's really her???

It's been a rough week. I'm not ashamed to say I've teetered on the edge of tears and given in to them a couple of times. So a few hours up the fields picking blackberries has helped me recentre.

Possible made by the same people that brought us Fleadh Water. Cos nothing says Irish culture like the symbols of the sectarian shipyard industry of Belfast.

Spent the weekend at Dublin Horse Show. Obscene amounts of money. The pressure to keep up with the latest gadgets, the mutitude of judging rules that cost a fortune to attain. The stuff they have to buy!

A view of the Angelsea Stand at Dublin Horse Show. Seagulls line the top of it cos they're not mad enough to pay the entrance fees.
