Currently miles away from home,but seeing how other parts of the world are getting on with life is refreshing.What is happening at home is an absolute joke. No wonder people are getting angry. We got vaccinated when asked, boosters will be taken & NPHET still want to lock us down
Ever since I was a young boy running through grass
I was a dreamer writing stories down the back of the class
Now I sit at this piano with my heart in my hands
Take my love and all my loss and get the darkness to dance
If @ManUtd hadn’t been awarded a single penalty this season they’d be joint 2nd a point behind @LFC
If @LFC hadn’t been awarded awarded a single penalty this season they’d be level on points with 10th place @WestHam
It rained when it should have snowed.
When we went to gather holly . . .
Now here I am, in a room that is decked
with the red-berried, waxy-leafed stuff,
and I almost forget what it’s like
to be wet to the skin or longing for snow.
The surface of a slate-grey lake is lit
By the earthed lightning of a flock of swans,
Their feathers roughed and ruffling, white on white,
Their fully grown headstrong-looking heads
Tucked or cresting or busy underwater.
And some time make the time to drive out west
Into County Clare, along the Flaggy Shore,
In September or October, when the wind
And the light are working off each other
So that the ocean on one side is wild
With foam and glitter

Seamus Heaney is seven years dead today.
When all the others were away at Mass
I was all hers as we peeled potatoes.
They broke the silence, let fall one by one
Like solder weeping off the soldering iron:
Cold comforts set between us, things to share
