Fireworks were going off all throughout the day and then mad-levels of NON-STOP fireworks from 11:50pm until at least 1am. Random fireworks & small ‘bombs’ cont’d to go off throughout the night, intermittently, and into the morning.01 Jan 2026 14:13 +0000at://did:plc:nlagtbki64bnkmnktezeo7xc/app.bsky.feed.post/3mbektjdkfk2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/ashleytungate.bsky.social/post/3lyvnx37wrc2oOn a scavenger hunt to find more words to mute..15 Sep 2025 20:37 +0000at://did:plc:nlagtbki64bnkmnktezeo7xc/app.bsky.feed.post/3lyvnx37wrc2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/ashleytungate.bsky.social/post/3lyl4r3rtck2gOn that note, heading to Edinburgh next week for several days.

After walking 27k in them I had blisters galore, and it resulted in two toenails falling off by week’s end.

The journey is just over 3 hours. Was also looking at return flights to Dublin for less than €100.
