On Monday I start a new job after a 6 month sabbatical. It's hybrid, so my home office is now a workable space again. While overseas my Irish driving licence arrived: automatic transmissions only. All good.

Eclipse 2026
Everything – people, birds, most traffic—stopped. Around two seconds after the sun was covered the black sun revealed itself. I was speechless.

I am popping over to Barcelona next week for the solar eclipse. Still getting my ahead around Europe being in my neighbourhood rather than on the other side of the planet. Will set up a camera to track it whilst I watch alongside. Very excited to experience totality!

Family kip time (me, Himself, Niamh and Oisín) is the best. Though it underscores that a full size bed for two men and two staffies is just wrong. Waiting on new bedside tables before ordering the bed itself. #tonedeafupdatesforahardworld

I need to bring my various (Canada, NZ, Ireland) employment records to maximize my CPP in a few years. Getting onto Service Canada online is rather vexing if overseas. Today I requested the 1st doc, which will allow me to get someone to reset my account, so I can register for an actual account.
