Devestating. A Mary I graduate very dear to my humble heart is seeing her class for the first time in ages tomorrow, and the last time this school year. She has to set up a table outdoors with 6 boxes outside for them to return their books and a plastic bag for whatever else. The tables are set out in a way to keep the school staff seperated from the kids and families, masks and gloves compulsary, at all times. The stuff returned then is not to be touched for at least 2 weeks.

Fuck Yeats, being a peddler of sorrow snd misery by being a bookie is bad enough and reason in itself for being labelled a cunt, but buying bookie shops when the rest of the industry was moving online meant he was a stupid cunt to boot.

Meanwhile, I have it on bad authority that a Wexford county council employee took pictures of cars parked up at Ballinesker beach earlier this week, telling a bystander that the pictures would be shared with the council elders and the gardai.

Thinking of going to town to do the shopping.
Decided against it as there is a risk I might crash the car.
Thinking of getting up actually. But didn’t because might have an accident.
Thinking of getting my breakfast. Didn’t because I might choke.
I’m under the bed with the phone at the moment. I may plug that out too as it might go on fire.

If this thing tells us anything its that the majority of people in this country wouldn’t take 9/4 on a coin toss.

No that’s not accurate. The majority of people are grand. Still have their jobs or know they’ll get them back. It’s the minority are being fucked over
People including experts cannot assess risk.
The Undoing Project is a great book about the flaws in how we think. Depending on how something is framed people will give completely contradictory responses to same issue.
