Writer, photographer, occasional blogger. A review of one of my books said, "This is a spicy one!" I've never recovered.

Busy, time-stretched people living in apartments with balconies or small urban homes with maybe 10m2 of a yard that also needs to house the bins. #SpéirGhorm #Garden #DIY [contains quote post or other embedded content]19 May 2026 07:16 +0000at://did:plc:iopw46c47eik5vxtcrb6txz4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mm6tugpvhs2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/nodyesyes.com/post/3mm7367cbuk2uI have one in my vaults about how a passing based football tactic is "woke."

I've been researching why some leaves developed a reddish hue to them. I've not been able to find anything. #SpéirGhorm #Garden If I can't get an answer I'll write to @irishexaminer.bsky.social or @rteradio1.bsky.social18 May 2026 08:17 +0000at://did:plc:iopw46c47eik5vxtcrb6txz4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mm4gsf3i222rhttps://bsky.app/profile/nodyesyes.com/post/3mm3eyectfc2wI have no idea what plant this is. It came free with the compost so we'll find out. I've committed at this point. She even has a name. And if I get arrested for growing illicit plants I'm gonna take a supermarket to the cleaners.17 May 2026 22:12 +0000at://did:plc:iopw46c47eik5vxtcrb6txz4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mm3eyectfc2whttps://bsky.app/profile/nodyesyes.com/post/3mm36w52tes2wI have three chili plants growing. One came up quickly, the other two were slow starters. It's occurring to me the fast one may not be a chili pepper but a random seed that was in the compost, eating the real chili pepper beneath the soil, fuelling its growth towards the sun. A lucky dip plant!17 May 2026 20:23 +0000at://did:plc:iopw46c47eik5vxtcrb6txz4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mm36w52tes2whttps://bsky.app/profile/nodyesyes.com/post/3mm2g6c2a422wWhat I was up to yesterday, blogged for entertainment and my eventual shame. Art is like that. Featuring the most important part for any creative; navigating job applications to the commune. LinkedIn? I've got you bate!

I over-roast some chicken so it dries out, fling it in a pan with a little oil, good chunks of it, and throw in some absolutely basic supermarket curry powder/garam masala. I'm thinking of adding a little yoghurt to the pan mix, this time.17 May 2026 12:20 +0000at://did:plc:iopw46c47eik5vxtcrb6txz4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mm2dvmwuus2whttps://bsky.app/profile/nodyesyes.com/post/3mm2bsp6krc2wThis is me with a stepladder, an aldi footstool, or simply standing on a chair.

Talking about the next budget. Huge promises in disability and special needs education. Really putting his neck on the line with that! His legacy, he thinks/hopes, will be Island of Ireland cooperation.

If I got one of the smaller, special offer batteries I'd be wrecked. "Chancer batteries.'

I write about balance between physical and mental effort, contrasting DIY, table restoration, creativity, exhaustion, work. And chat about the event. www.nodyesyes.com?p=32117 May 2026 09:21 +0000at://did:plc:iopw46c47eik5vxtcrb6txz4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlzzwwtfls2whttps://bsky.app/profile/nodyesyes.com/post/3mlywuw2amk2wThe relief after poetry has left me. After thinking about fixing up a table in the blog more pressing concerns have come up. There are holes in the wall between outside and inside. I'm fairly sure things such as water, etc. can get in via holes. Holes!
