A CHRISTMAS CAROL This night 26 years ago was the lowest point in my adult life. After six months in Sweden I had no job, no prospects and about three euro in my pocket. I didn't want to be here any more. In truth, I didn't want to be anywhere any more. I was a total failure.

A match made in heaven. Here is an animated film that I did for animation class in ATU Letterkenny. I did the animation, direction, sound effects, backgrounds, and provided the voice of the Lonely Matchstick. Enjoy… #matches #animation2d #studentfilm #procreatedreams #matchsticks

France predominantly allocates fishing opportunities to its fleet based on past catch history, largely disregarding social & environmental criteria. This is something also seen in Ireland with small scale vessels not recieving a fair share @iimro.bsky.social europe.oceana.org/press-releas...

As cod & ling, that used to populate British waters, migrate north to cooler waters, a large - and normally rare - type of octopus is being caught by fishermen in Devon and Cornwall in enormous numbers. Even tuna & shark. So what's going on? Climate change & overfishing news.sky.com/story/octopu...

Model yacht racing has a long tradition on #Rathlin Island and today we had a super competitive windy race on Ushet Lough as part of the Rathlin Sound Festival. It involves a lot of running, getting wet and a bit of skill too. And here’s the winning boat! Racing with 10yr old Oscar today 😊🏆⛵️#RSF25
