Sinead O'Connor (1966-2023)

Absolutely tragic news about Sinead O'Connor. 56 is no age.

I won't pretend I was her biggest fan but I did love her first album, The Lion and the Cobra, and I admired her and her music from afar in the subsequent years. 

This performance from 1990 from The Late Show is up there with my all time favourite live performances on television. She was a unique and powerful individual.

 I'm never going to get that bastard, am I? . . . an ongoing series.

In fairness, it's not a shot I'm religiously going for everyday. It only really comes up when I'm playing - and losing - at Cricket against the Russ Bray app.

First 3 darts of the day. What the actual fuck? 😂🤔😳

T9, T20, T20

Quit whilst you're ahead.

June 1st is the anomaly. Initially, when I decided to start walking each day to lose some weight, I thought I'd only be walking for an hour and a bit each day. Hence not passing 10,000 steps on that first day. Once I passed 10,000 steps on the second day, that was it. That was the goal for each and every day.
