So peaceful.

A 'Mare for Winnington.

Vagabonds Ladies triumphant this afternoon in a near faultless display exposing Winnington Park Ladies defence, with a series of breakaway tries all throughout the game.

Final score at Ballafletcher 99-0
puts #Vagas top of the Women's NC2 North (West) table.

In the happy place.

First home game of the season, 52-0 HT score.
Not too shabby at all.

There's also a cake sale.

That show by First Aid Kit & the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra at the @royalalberthall.bsky.social tonight was very very special.

#StayGold album played all the way through, followed by some classics & covers given the full orchestral treatment.

Just Excellent! We'll treasure this memory.

At this tonight.

All my expectations of this show are based pretty much on how Dana reacted to it in #Sportsnight , which was really something.

I was unaware of this latest from #PaulHoward but recd as a gift recently.

It's interesting & entertaining in many ways,& quite thought provoking. Sensitive subject matter but well treated.

From one of my favourite writers, they may yet adapt this for TV.
Worth a read.

John Kelly used to play this on the #EclecticBallroom on Radio Ireland many years ago, it's been on my list for a long time.
Bloody good stuff.

Re-watched #CanadianBacon yesterday.
When I first saw this (during Obama's first term) I couldn't fully appreciate it as the plot just seemed too ridiculous & far fetched.

Current events make this essential viewing however and normalise the chaos & hilarity 🙂

Spotted on a shop wall in Laxey some years back.

The TSS Manxman farewell voyage took place #OTD 1982 when she sailed under her own steam from Douglas to Liverpool.

Watching back the recent Women's Interpro game between Ulster & Leinster on the @tg4.bsky.social YouTube channel. The commentary is in Irish but some of the closed captions are mental 😄

Bit of a throwback today.
This was a revelation when it came out, from slow rumblings & word of mouth it went on to become an international smash.

Re-watched Primary Colors this evening.
Many great performances from an ensemble cast, including John Travolta in his best role as Jack Stanton, but Kathy Bates is truly outstanding.
