Listening to Pascal tonight and every time he says Budget, I am hearing him say Bullshit. Which is bizarre, and arguably Freudian.

So is it a good thing if your national flag is randomly hanging from a street lamp? If it was an advertisement for something it would need permission or it’s litter. I’m very conflicted by equating the national flag with reportable litter though.

Can't believe anyone here's daft enough to believe it, but just in case let me reiterate: none of my paintings are authorized to be sold on Temu. The hundreds of items there with my paintings on, are using stolen images, are very poor resolution, and I'm earning nothing. Feel free to report them.

Mulling over my still-wired despite 5am being near, I’ve recollected the non-decaf coffee at 2.30pm and the half-can of non-decaf cola at 6.30. Woe.

Have a #painting. "Roundstone Harbour" came out of idyllic trips in Connemara where I'd get to enjoy the shapes that harbours gift us and the odd bowl of soup. #SpeirGorm #ArtYear

Portrait format in acrylics on canvas. Looking down on two rowing boats with dark shadows in the right half of the foreground, both pointing to viewer. Middle distance we look into a stone ochre coloured L-shaped pier coming out from the left with three small fishing boats moored. Water is rendered in painterly shades of teal and blues. Low strip of barren yellow-green land in distance dotted with white cottages. Behind are multi-peaked pale blue mountains, with paler ones behind. Blue sky has large white fluffy clouds sitting above mountains. One boat in foreground is orange inside with blue trim and blue oars inside, other to its right is white inside with red trim.

Let me share a #painting of a place I've loved in the west of Ireland. "Connemara Field" came out of a day in south Conamara where I sat for hours by the side of a road with my bicycle, my paints, and my dreams. #SpeirGorm #ArtYear

Square format in painterly acrylics on canvas. Yellow sky. Dry stone walls of blue-grey zig-zag across the picture holding small uneven fields of lime grass littered with blue rocks and crimson weeds, many rocks having a bright side not far off white, and a dark side in shadow of very dark blue in the foreground to not as dark as the rocks and walls recede into the landscape. The side of the walls facing the viewer are mostly in shadow with light hitting the top stones and the odd one projecting out. In the second field from the front is a glade of half a dozen trees with abstracted foliage shapes of red and black against the yellow sky that cast a crimson shadow on a patch of rocks directly underneath. As fields near the horizon they change to more orange and softly undulating, and the walls have the odd punctuation of a blue red bush, before the distant pale blue gentle mountains stretching all the way across the canvas. Signed bottom right in red on dark alizarin just above the close up of rocks along the bottom that are the top of a dry stone wall, Liam Daly

At Bloom yesterday filling a competition entry for Pink Lady Apples. Had to choose a title from Mr or Mrs as part of the form, so essentially, being neither, I couldn’t fill out the form. The Pink Lady Lady said I was making a whole fuss about nothing. More annoyed with her than with the form now.

Went to the local coffee shop for thank you drinks tonight. Chatted with a random stranger for ages. And then some puzzle pieces slotted together and I got a massive hug because my mother was a huge influence on her life in many ways. Yes, that’s you crying.

Watching30 hits of 1988 on BBC2 and I’ve just learned I had a lot of wrong lyrics to Deacon Blue’s Real Gone Kid. It was not written for the over 45s and nobody was living out. Oh subtitles, how you change things.

In an attempt to decrease the amount of couchsleeping I do, my bed now has an electric blanket. I might try reading a bit more too. I’d like to double the reading I did last year, have achieved last year’s goal of doubling the amount read the previous year. I read one book in 2023.
