A Newly Discovered Recording Lets You Hear Delta Blues Legend Robert Johnson in Stunning Clarity

Listening to an Acast podcast … just now, of all times, running an ad for that Irish golf hotel owned by TACO. They insist on saying his surname multiple times in the space of a few seconds, with a little burst of Gaeilge at the end.

Yay! It's TACO Tuesday- until we do it all again in 2 weeks time. ffs #Iran

I'm glad it's TACO Tuesday

My mother told us, when we were worried kids during the Cold War ‘80s, that it was scarier back during the Cuban missile crisis. But the Kennedy Bros have little similarity to the current whack jobs in power.

If you see this, post a rabbit.

The audiobook is a great adaptation. 🎼🎶🎶🎶🕷️

A colourful sticker featuring three cartoon characters in a school setting. One character holds books while two others stand nearby, and another character is curled up on the floor in a fetal position. The text reads: "In case of emotions, assume the FETAL POSITION” and “coping mechanism.”

Sticker from the cafe in Raheny this afternoon: hope you’re all not too jet lagged today as we make the great spring forward, especially those of you with young kids and pets. #SpéirGhorm

Guide to putting your clocks forward

Just a reminder 👇

Nearly there ourselves with the chore delegation … although over the February break I forgot to do one of them. There was a half eaten sandwich which had evolved into a new life form 🤢

That happens with me with the film pun ones 😝🫠

My Liners? Main.

One day we’ll get that Bluesky edit button 😝🌴🍹🏝️🦜🍍🐠

My Straits? Dire.

A transparent storage lunch container labeled "Sistema to go" with a teal lock, featuring a divided interior. The background shows a blurred kitchen setting.

PSA for grown-ups to clean out those lunchboxes this weekend if you’ve kids going on school break at this time of year. #SpéirGhorm

A yellow post-it stuck on a black door reading “zooming”

Six years ago today, this post-it still would’ve made no sense to me … yet … #Covid19 #13March2020

I didn’t have “hearing Christy Moore quoted on Conspirituality pod” on my 2026 bingo card. Nice one 👏😆

Landscape format in acrylic on canvas. In a field of long yellow grass a large outbuilding with rusted corrugated roof occupies left half of painting with very dark shadow side facing viewer. It extends beyond the left edge of the painting. Wooden posts holding a wire fence run diagonally through foreground. Tall yellow-flowered weeds stand out against the dark shadow side of the outbuilding while bright grey gable end with small windows is in sun. Behind into the right half of the picture is a smaller outbuilding and in the top left corner above the corrugated roof is green foliage of a tree-top. At the far end of the field, visible by the right edge, is a hedgerow of very dark green with brighter uneven top. Beyond it are pale turquoise and purple hills in front of pale blue mountains, the furthest one with a distinctive conical peak reaching up to near the top of the painting. Sky is light blue with large white soft clouds. Signed bottom right in dark blue on the long yellow grass, Liam Daly

Time for a #painting. From a few years ago, "Mayo Shed" came out of an idyllic day in the west of Ireland where I cycled from County Galway north and around the back of Croagh Patrick. This was an outbuilding I enjoyed seeing before coming in Louisburgh as I headed towards Clew Bay. #art #SpeirGhorm

Pretty sure I’m a descendant of this guy. Not because of the same surname and my Fermanagh roots mind. More so that whole “win but also totally lose” scenario is very like me.

Hey! Happy ponder-my-inevitable-demise-and-accept-that-everything-under-the-Sun-is-vanity-and vexation Day! How you doin’?

Just started listening to the Shropshire Witches this very morning. Fascinating stuff. ✨✨

"Upon 1 February, when the Irish, Hebrideans, and Manx were (presumably) feasting in honour of Brigid, the British were expected to eat only bread and drink only water. Then the next day dawned and (in the words of a fourteenthcentury Shropshire monk, John Mirk) churches ‘made great melody’"

I’m thinking of a side hustle as Holy Man for hire 😉😌

Sprig of berries and heather flowers bound with bright lemon coloured wool on a wiry grey doormat

Lookit, I’m not saying my little offering last night, clipped from my garden’s heather and berries, and placed on the liminal doormat, is what brought this break in the bad weather. But I’m not *not* saying that either, like. #Imbolc #LáFheileBríde #SpéirGhorm
