Well then.
Thats that.
Finally logged into my X account (had to log in on PC, it was so long since I'd done that) deleted avatar etc, and deactivated my account.

I hadn't been on it apart from a check once or twice in a year, or two? You know, I found it boring..... and it was just hanging around on my system.

Anyway, on to important news from other people. See you all on Bluesky, Mastodon, Threads, IG.

So I gave myself a little treat, just because...
A pocket sized leather refillable notebook. It comes in a presentation box, good for storing the refills, and it came with five of them.

Very good article on Simon Coveney, on Brexit discussions and Irish politicians as we. (Paywalled). He clarifies something I've thought about: only since Brexit have we (Ireland) finally gotten rid of a type of dependence on Britain - in politics, trade and business. A dependence we didn't know we had!
