    Fucking too right. I wouldn't be scarred if I caught my parents at it, I'd be fucking delighted, given that it'd imply that I have another 25 years of riding ahead of me

    Same here! I thought donkeys were kinda obsolete (though I myself am fond of them, having gone on a walking holiday with one once)

    Minor Pleasures

    Was playing down in my local last night, got talking to some woman a bit older than myself and asked her did she have any requests ... she was fairly well oiled and embarked on this long story about a weekend-long party she was at back in the day in some building that was condemned in the quays...

    Had a house party on Friday. Was kinda anxious about it on Wed/Thurs, cos lots of people were texting me saying they would miss it cos covid/babysitter issues/whatever ... but we still had a good crowd and it turned out to be loads of fun. Interesting people, good chats, loads of dancing ...

    Minor Pleasures

    I was at a work thing back in Feb and we were all having dinner and someone mentioned my musical output and one of the women gasped and gave me A Look and said "You're in a band!?". If she was Irish I'd assume the piss was being taken, but nope, she's a yank. I'd been waiting 35 years for that...

    Actually had it side on for a Stoat gig recently, and yeah I preferred not having it between me and the audience. At the jam session though it's was whereever I could squeeze it in among all the other musicians

    Brought a keyboard down to my weekly jam session last night. Anytime I've played piano/keys before it's always been pre-prepared, so didn't know how winging it would work. Anyway - went great (or great for me anyway, dunno what the audience thought), came home buzzing, probably adds more to the...

    Talking of grandfathers ... my Da's Da (who died in the 80s) was born in 1898, which means he probably had met people who had been alive during the famine

    An unexpected really good mood for no reason whatever today! Feeling exuberant! Maybe it's the weather?

    I brought a ukulele down to a trad session in Dingle last night and sat in and played along. My first time doing this, had to walk by the pub a few times to work up the courage. Got on grand, was a bit of fun - lots of people talking Irish too and I even understood a lot of it somehow.

    Minor Pleasures

    Minor pleasure: been listening back to old albums I used to love. I really really like well-written lyrics, and these are very much not those, but the first verse from the first song on Gogol Bordello's Super Taranta sure puts a smile on my face
