Jack L on the Creedon Show tonight 8-10pm @RTERadio1.
Between the @johncreedon.bsky.social show (always a balm) and a lovely radio documentary about biodiversity that followed, Irish radio is saving me on this rollercoaster of a day. @rteone.rte.ie
No idea David. Just heads down and drive on!
I was in Spain Lilly (Espana 2025).
Leave behind the cares of the day and sail away into the sunset with a soulful soundtrack from the Creedon Show, weeknights 8-10pm @RTERadio1.

Beg yer bleedin' pardon. All me sisters were stunners!
Just rescued a grasshopper who was drowning. Then, ten minutes later, a wasp stung the back of my head. (probably for being a do-gooder) So much for random acts of kindness.

Whoever did this and I would get along well.

It had been an arduous night; staying on the run, moving from place to place, and hiding in the shadows. But, as the sun peeked out on the horizon, Clarence let out a sigh of relief. Surely the danger had passed. He began to let himself relax. It was then that the vampire struck.

Now that's what I call a game of two halves. Sluggish performance from the ref, but a real show of character from the Irish lads and the Cork boys did us proud. We go again ! #COYBIG #IREHUN #irelandvshungary
Perhaps, but we will always row in when required.
Careful Eamon. Fellas our age only have a couple of dozen LoI seasons in us.

1. Simply delighted with @johncreedon.bsky.social's rich and poignant childhood memoir, This Boy's Heart. Got a copy for both my mother and myself. We're laughing, crying, and relishing this evocative picture of how life might've been if our family had stayed in Cork. What a writer this man is!
