I might actually start using social media again. Well bluesky anyway. not the other stuff

for a moment I thought I accidently blocked you. Then I realized that the instructions worked and this post was just muted. Have at least one other name I'm going to add to this. I didn't realize this was a thing. Thanks!

Got this sudden yearning for fancy chocolate ice cream for some reason

Bringing Ireland's Past to Life

How was this? I've tried a few spiced milks but I've never seen this before

Found a few things to remind me of Sligo since I can't be there in person for the Christmas season this year.

love this!

With #nationalheritageweek in full swing, I'll share some older images during the week.
This is Sligo Jail, it was wonderful to get a look inside years ago, read the blog post here https://magnumlady.com/2013/08/16/sligo-gaol/ and can you see a face in the first image?

Hello, Irish twitter people. I'm new here.
Looking forward to introducing Sligo to bsky.
This is Benbulben in County Sligo, on the Wild Atlantic Way

Same city very different job. I run the archives for Sazerac now most of the items are related to Buffalo Trace Distillery and Bourbon. But scope of the job takes me all over. Im in Ireland at our distillery in Sligo often. We have distilleries all over.

Absolutely fascinated by the work on the buffalo trace water tower. The 'skirt' is to keep all the sand blasted stuff inside.

Apparently it was open by appointment but they are few and far between. Don't know what's up with qr code

Hope you are having fun!

Invested in a Garmin watch and been training for a 5k (just a run not a race) actually ran for more than 1/2 of it today. Down nearly 20lbs in the process. Not bad for someone who has never jogged before. Happy early birthday to me. #healthy 🎉

@lornarichardson.bsky.social hi!!!! I'm barely on social media anymore. Trying to find balance - most of the time that's far away from the Internet for me lately. How are you?

And people at the distillery or other manufacturing have to make and package things that people order from clicklist drizzly Amazon whatever. They don't get a choice. Fortunately we had very strict COVID protocols in place. And virtual meeting still happen as possible.

Definitely life focus.

Yeeeaaaaaahhhh coffee!

But this is when all the things get done and the fun stuff happens and parking spots are available at work

Lurker here :-) I had a burst of nostalgia for early Twitter. Then adopted the distance from social media that I've had from Twitter since... Around 2016 and Facebook since 2020.

Looking forward to the future article about how she paid for law school with a settlement from suing UC Davis

I'm going to go with that. I was inspired by GTD system but including the big projects is always distracting and then the brain dump never gets finished.

Master of making to do lists and then focusing time on the super important projects that I didnt bother putting on the todo list

No. I definitely did not.

Very tempting.

The Lake Isle of Innisfree by William Butler Yeats | Poetry Foundation I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,

I think the only time I read Yeats work in school was highschool and it was this poem.

And then my friends recited the poem while we sat there with coffee and snacks. Awesome moment.

www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43281/the-lake-isl...

"I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade..." WB Yeats

Got to see the isle today. Woah.
