BLOURNAL
Practice photography
Ugh… it’s not been a fun weekend for me, especially with the current state of the world and Trump’s gruelling recklessness, but I’m trying my best to find solace wherever I can. Getting out to the Ballyronan Marina for a breath of fresh air certainly helps, as does trying to take photos of the birds chilling out by the lough.
Could we please have a normal 2026? Pretty please? Or is that too much to ask?
Sigh.
Look, I said I wasn’t going to doomscroll in 2026, but when the world is figuratively and literally on fire and the powers-at-be are actively pouring gasoline on the flames, it’s hard to resist the temptation.
Midweek Musings
Got back from the gym a couple of hours ago, so now I’ve got a bit of time to ponder before I head out for the midweek quiz.
Monday morning
So, that’s another weekend done and dusted.
I’m Not American…
…but even I’m well aware of just how painful the next few years are gonna be because it will have some kind of knock-on effect on the rest of us.
Election Day
Hi, everyone.
So, I spent a significant portion of yesterday trying to write a “blournal” entry that was supposed to be a look back at this year’s Halloween, but it unintentionally morphed into a diatribe about the real-world horror that is the presidential election.
