Pro-Ukraine demonstration in Cork
One of the nice things about having your own blog is that you can say something that would get your message filtered on Twitter on Facebook for the profanity, so here goes. Fuck Putin. Fuck him and the horse he rides in on and his smug face and for everything bad he’s done to Ukraine, to Russian people, to Syria, to Georgia, and to everyone his regime has hurt over the years. Fuck him.

The NRP Comandante João Belo (F480) in Cork
Back in 2005 many naval ships visited Cork Harbour and one of them was the NRP Comandante João Belo. According to this Wikipedia page it was sold to Uruguay but in 2005 it flew the colours of the Portuguese Navy.
You can find out more about this particular ship here but you’ll have to translate it to English if your Portuguese isn’t up to scratch.
In the background is the “Port of Cork” sign and the buildings of the now demolished Cork Bonded Warehouse.

Mommy Cat Looks Up
Mommy Cat, as she was 7 years ago looking up at me looking out of the window of my home office. She’s totally wild, will not let us touch her at all, and until this year would barely come into the house.
That all changed this year. She’s sleeping in the kitchen now, but as I explained in this post, all is not rosy.
