Exciting news for fans of the Tunnard: My novel 48, 48 interconnected stories set simultaneously in the 48 barrios of Buenos Aires on the Friday before Carnaval in 2012, which critics are calling "A poorly executed Perec rip-off", is going to be published by Coffee House Press next year.

I think you would really like the poetry collection City Works Dept by Philip Hancock, poet and painter/decorator.

Watford losing 4-0 at halftime against relegation zone Cardiff. Have been following Watford for over 40 years and this is the worst I've ever seen them. And we still have another six and a half months of the season to go.

Watford playing Cardiff this evening, one of the few teams lower in the table. Given how much Watford hate Tuesdays, how disengaged the manager is and how depressed the players are, it will probably be a 3-0 victory. Such is the way of things.

I blame podcasts for rotting people's brains. I get these conversations that go "oh, I listened to this amazing podcast about science and WWII and the Beatles and stuff." And I say, fine let's have a conversation. And they go, "I'll send you a link." And I say, no let's have a conversation.

The Year of the Runaways is superb. Any writer looking to learn how to marry social/political issues and fiction should read it. And Solar Bones is a stone cold classic.

He was brilliant for Watford on loan last season. Great signing by Coventry.

Disappointed for the players. This season was so much better than the past few years but just missing that extra something in the championship rounds.

Diablo has slowed down the midfield. Puzzling to put him on when we need goals.

Bohs well in this but not threatening enough. Rovers exposing Hickey's lack of pace. Bohs need to not panic. Me likewise.

Todd badly out of position there. Got away with it, just.

Rónán Hession @ronanhession.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

Game so tight. Slightly relieved that we were forced to move Flores out of left back*. Bohs final ball a bit rushed but overall Bohs look up for this. *Hope McDonnell is ok.

Rónán Hession @ronanhession.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

Same. Friday's result punctured my confidence. We've been good against Rovers this past while though.

Rónán Hession @ronanhession.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

Tonight is a must-win game for Bohs. A draw not enough given Rovers' easier run-in and three point lead. A defeat means season over.

Hope all is ok and you're being well looked after.

Superb soundtrack too. Wood block, drums, hi-hats, flutes. Present almost throughout but never intrusive.

Watched Yojimbo, which I'm pretty sure I saw previously but very long ago. A really fun samurai movie with lots of wry humour and memorable shots. A simple set-up spun out so well.

Appropriate punishment? Owners get lifetime ban from Premier League; trophies won during the period scrapped; a one year ban for City from all competitions; a fine of a bazillion pounds; have to change their name to Blur Are Good.

Sounds great. Best of luck – esp with the Osaka- ben.

FWIW I don't think Man City should be inflicted on lower divisions. The Championship needs integrity too, even if Watford won't be there much longer.

What a substitute Doku is. A goal, an assist and a Liverpool red card down to him.

I did a kids’ illustration workshop in @chaptersbookstore.bsky.social in Dublin this morning, and as I do sometimes, I took suggestions from the kids to help make a monster. So blame them. I’ll be doing another workshop next Saturday at 11am, so feel free to drop in (ideally with your kids).

A monster based on suggestions from the kids. It looks like a scaly, three-eyed werewolf with bat’s wings and horns, emitting a stink and dripping slime.

"Going from 2,000 daily steps to 4,000 resulted in a 36% drop in mortality risk over the years tracked. Going from 7,000 to the full 10,000 is associated with just a 2% further reduction in mortality risk."

According to The Economist "the famous 10,000-step target is not exactly a marvel of scientific rigour. It comes from an advertising campaign run in Japan in the 1960s."
