It is one year today since I was last in the office.

Two weeks to flatten the curve and one year later it is about as flat as a bar of Toblerone and still no end in sight

I was idling a few nights ago with the evening news on as background wallpaper when I heard a woman say there could be several years of restrictions and of mask wearing. I think my mouth actually fell wide open.

Did mine last Friday, took the windows key off as there is a weird fault that has the key being made without any input from me. Inspecting the underside of the key cap with a loupe reveals nothing out of place.
Having various windows functions open when you are trying to type an email or browse cyclechat is taxing.

Mostly Irish actors, with the exception of Sean Connery, and the song was an overdub with Brendan O'Dowda and Ruby Murray. Disney spent three month in research and consulted the seanchai while developing the concepts for the film. A rare example of Disney actually researching a film treatment and applying some cultural sensitivity. By no means perfect, but going beyond the typical treatment centering around henpecked alcoholic fisticuffs/saintly priests and nuns witnessing or becoming miracles you often saw in American cinema at that time.

Walt Disney's family hailed from Ireland.
County Limerick via County Carlow.*

*Myles Keogh, of Little Bighorn fame, came from County Carlow. His horse, Comanche being the only survivor.

Signed off sick with a cold for the week.

Obviously I'll need to get plenty of fresh air though, to stay healthy, you know...
