The new Phoenix Lounge at Dublin Airport is a lovely place to while away a couple of hours before my flight ✈️

I've seen this kind of thing on Ticketmaster, but never before on a shopping website. How many people are flooding onto the Boots website on a Friday evening?

Our website is full to the brim with shoppers & you have been temporarily placed in a virtual queue.

Bushy Park Dublin parkrun - we have puddles aplenty but only a light drizzle. Just enough to apply to cool the brow of our dedicated runners and walkers!

Early start this morning to catch the Ferry to Holyhead. It's nice that Irish Ferries have a pet lounge, so the dogs don't have to stay in the car.

Brightly lit room with tables and chairs. It has a lino floor, windows along the far wall, and a TV.

If only there was some way to know if the Bushy Park stepping stones were flooded after all this rain... Oh wait, there is!

I tried it for the first time a couple of months ago. It's certainly an acquired taste!

I accidentally put my earbuds through the washing machine. They are IPX4 rated, which means they are splash proof (light rain, humidity, sweat) - so it's no great surprise that they don't work. D'oh!

I love the look of the new Pebble Time 2, and would love to get one. But I've also got a Garmin smart watch, so it's hard to justify buying another.

Richard, will you help tie this water balloon for me? Sure, I'll give it a go. What's the worst that could happen?

I guess the fridge is set too high (or is it low), because a drinks can froze and exploded!

This day last year I took my wife to the Jolly Judge pub in Edinburgh. Back when I lived there in the early noughties, this was a regular Sunday night haunt after Evensong.
