Reflecting on this year, professionally, it’s been one of transition and exciting challenge. But, for now, it’s time to recharge and reconnect with some hobbies!18 Dec 2024 12:43 +0000at://did:plc:xgxvpqftwr2uckitfiry3mlp/app.bsky.feed.post/3ldlf2m422s2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/daraghmcdermott.bsky.social/post/3lcyfum72j22jWhether true to fact, or a compelling fictionalisation of what happened, #SayNothing is one of the better mini-series I’ve watched for some time. Some stellar performances, particularly by actresses like Maxine Peake, Lola Petticrew and Hazel Doupe who deliver boldly gripping performances.10 Dec 2024 23:37 +0000at://did:plc:xgxvpqftwr2uckitfiry3mlp/app.bsky.feed.post/3lcyfum72j22jhttps://bsky.app/profile/daraghmcdermott.bsky.social/post/3lcu6c24zhc2hSaw the film #Conclave last night. Ralph Fiennes was masterful, Stanley Tucci was as good as ever and John Lithgow delivered as always. The plot was compelling and despite some odd CGI during one particular scene, overall- well worth a watch.09 Dec 2024 07:10 +0000at://did:plc:xgxvpqftwr2uckitfiry3mlp/app.bsky.feed.post/3lcu6c24zhc2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/daraghmcdermott.bsky.social/post/3lcqns2rtur25The only storm I’d like to be affiliated with is the one I cooked up in the kitchen #StormDarragh07 Dec 2024 21:37 +0000at://did:plc:xgxvpqftwr2uckitfiry3mlp/app.bsky.feed.post/3lcqns2rtur25https://bsky.app/profile/daraghmcdermott.bsky.social/post/3lclfby7ib22iIt’s likely flying to come up a bit over the next day or so….
