Artist, though alas, not of enough renown to avoid less exciting employment. Long time blow in to Cork City.

But Andrew Hickey Died Ten Years Ago This Very Night @andrewhickey.500songs.com · 5h
So far this week we have lost three right-wing fraudsters in their eighties with criminal convictions related to their use of hush money to cover up sexual scandals. Almost like the Grim Reaper is hunting for one person in particular.

Booked a COVID vaccine for Friday in Boots , then rang my doc for a flu shot as my B12 is due and might as well save time and get them done together, but there is a shortage apparently,told to ring back in a week or two. Hopefully my propensity for catching chest based lurgy will hold off till then!

I find the acidity of the tomato stops all the cheese from being just a bit too much

I don't make macaroni cheese often, but I like to do a thorough job when I do. So this one has gruyère as well as vintage cheddar, some cherry vine tomatoes, and I added a bit of mustard powder and smoked paprika to the flour for the roux

It's seen as reasonable to spend lots of money as wedding guests over and over again because they'll get you back when it's your turn, but for a lot of us it may never be "our turn" and asking people to contribute instead to our gingerbread cottage oven fund is "weird" and "scaring the children" 🙄

Thoroughly enjoyed the @waspsvshumans.bsky.social album launch in the Crane Lane yesterday and it's always great when a band will sign stuff for you . Lovely folk

My hair is only slightly wavy , so I'd say it could definitely work for you

If you are not leaving the house , using settling lotion on rollers is by far the best way to curl your hair. Lasts way longer than mousse and doesn't weigh your hair down . I use Lottabody. As you dilute it for use , 1 bottle lasts me a couple of years.

Meeting mates for a couple of early pints . Did a pretty great job on my hair . Put setting lotion on it , then twisted each section of hair before then wrapping it around a foam roller (1 inch diameter underneath,2 inch on top ) left them in all day, then scrunched in some wax after removing .
Me with fairly tousled, chin length wavy hair . I have ott purple eye makeup to match my t shirt

Lost all desire to do anything creative lately . I just made myself start some sketching, but the most I've managed is 20 minutes. And that was on my iPad , because I couldn't face getting any art supplies out. Definitely having a bit of a slump.

Thanks to GoMo for the unlimited data with no fair usage! I've also been reading more . So perhaps it is a bit of a win overall.

Just had the 4th engineer out over my years of living in my flat , to say they can't install broadband after a company provider swore they could over the phone. I was getting it from an antenna , but the tall buildings going up put paid to that 5 weeks ago. Back to hotspoting the TV off my phone.

An otter swims right by me as I waded the River Bride in Blackpool this morning. I was so caught by surprise that I could not get my phone camera working. The OPW and Cork City Council plan to bury this entire stretch of river underground. Jack Chambers gave it the go ahead. #cork

I was intrigued, but skeptical at this combination of ingredients, but it was bloody lovely (recipe says veggie sausages work fine ) www.bbcgoodfood.com/premium/goch...

Gochujang sausage orzo
This one-pan orzo with gochujang and cavolo nero is great for midweek, as it uses storecupboard ingredients. Adjust the heat by using more or less of the gochujang

Here is a picture of 5 maybe 6 year old me . Little did I know my super short fringe (because I wouldn't sit still when Mum cut my hair ) and NHS glasses would become the uniform of the cool 40 years 😂

Think I am going to indulge in a rewatch of all the Toho Godzilla films featuring Ghidorah , alas I don't own the Mothra films , so can't watch the ones of those he features in. So tonight's viewing is Ghidorah The Three Headed Monster 1964.

Ah , directly before a screening pints is definitely foolhardy! I heard that film is pretty enjoyable? Probably not for me though , I don't really play horror games and not much of a zombie fan in films

On @kermodeandmayo.bsky.social they briefly discussed loo breaks in the Cinema. My tip for no pee breaks in films that last over 2 and a half hours, is to go on the lash the night before and let dehydration take care of your need to pee during the film. I appreciate this may not be the wisest tip !

My colleague that never closes their mouth when they eat and has no problem talking with a mouth full of food has now taken up chewing gum. So anytime they talk to me at all now, I get the full aural and visual hit of their mastication. It is no longer only restricted to lunch break.

A delivery driver at work just asked me if I'm all set for Christmas. I can only assume, by the speed his smile vanished, that I've finally mastered the Ryan stare. Hitherto, only my sister Catherine had truly inherited my Dad's killer glare.

Just watched The End Of Oak Street. Tis very silly, a big budget B Movie with some janky looking dinosaurs ( v mush looking forward to some paleontologist breakdown videos ) and extremely flawed plans all over the shop - greatly enjoyed it with a bottle of wine .

Loved the finale to that wonderfully preposterous season of Reacher ( hey @lastexittonowhere.bsky.social Get Cracked In Philadelphia t shirt?) , but wondering if people IRL tuck guns in the back of their pants as much as they do on screen , do people often accidentally shoot themselves in the bum ?

The optics of the government paying €505 million to end the fuel protests because they didn't want to be yelled at by Facebook populists, but claiming there is no money when public transport fares go up... to quote Mad Men "not great, Bob!"

Bought myself a reduced to clear dinner from the M&S count on us diet range on the way to the pub. As soon as I got home , I bunged it straight in the freezer and ordered delivery burrito and ice cream. Oh well , at least I had good intentions for about 15 minutes.
