I’m going to this cricket at Stormont tomorrow.
It’s made up teams, but it’ll be good to see the Irish international players compete against each other.

I’m going to see if I can replicate the writing setup I have in Scrivener in iA Writer. I only use a tiny subset of Scrivener's features these days. Mainly separate docs for different sections of an article. Then Export as a Word file via Compile in Scrivener to stitch the sections into a finished document.
iA Writer folders in iCloud should be able to replicate that.
And make it simpler to move between Mac, iPad, and iPhone for adding to a writing project.
Bloody god botherer advertising signs inside the 6a metro bus.
If they really followed their New Testament god, they’d spend the money on food banks and other ways to help people in the here and now.
Cunts.
The iPad Pro laptop appears…
Yikes. The G1 bus ride from City Hall to about Ballyhackamore was Soylent Green “Make Room” level crowded.

This song started playing in my head this afternoon when I was listening to the new music I’d captured. A new song started with a few piano notes that sounded very like Without You. Instant ear worm.
The new song didn’t make the cut.
“Labour MP Catherine West says if a cabinet minister does not put themselves forward to challenge Keir Starmer as party leader by Monday, she will attempt to trigger a leadership contest herself.”

Getting to Forestside from Dundonald via bus was easy. And free for me. I’m not sure the forthcoming G3 route that will pass Forestside will make it any easier or much faster.
Public transport FTW!
The CSNI overseas professional, Indian Ashwin Hebbar, scored 207 not out today at Stormont. He hit 15 sixes and 12 fours in that total.
CSNI scored 404 for 2. Strabane scored 156 all out.
Yikes!
