A charity auction? Yes indeed. Early May, Rapecrisis Midwest suffered a break-in at their Limerick premises. They had damage and their offices were turned upside down. I decided I wanted to do something to help them and settled on an art auction. I contacted local artists and a lot of them came back to me …
Limerick Covid 19 Doorstep Portraits
What are Doorstep Portraits? A project in documentary photography in Limerick. Socially distant doorstep portraits in lockdown, to commemorate this absolutely batshit time. There was an exhibition on Culture Night 2020. What did I do? I was one of the photographers on this project, taking people’s pictures. Our family photos were taken by the wonderful …

The Vincent Ehindero Blogger Award Tag
Good morning! The first proper blog in ages. I am aware it looks like I blog only once a year, but most I write as a first draft and then don’t touch again. I’m not very good at properly finishing things, it’s one of the things I’m trying to get better at this year. The …
Day 1 – 14DaysOfWriting

Hippie
Back in July 2014, I wrote this post: Earlier today, I got this tweet from one of my friends: “In fact I double dare you! 🙂 Writers yearn to be read! Let us read you!” and decided to start this blog. I’m scared of people actually reading my random thoughts, short stories and random ramblings …
Back to Youtube?
Wait, video? Seems I’m recording more videos than blogging these days, even though #Blogtober preparations are well on the way at this stage! I used to love making video and uploading them to YouTube. General silliness, Ice Bucket challenge in 2014, drunk chatty videos, everything. Hope to do more with it, including businessy stuff for …
#WhoNeedsYourYes
Apologies, My foreign readers. This is a very open post about the upcoming referendum in Ireland about repealing the Eighth Amendment. Feel free to stop reading, unless you’re interested in pregnant people’s rights, abortion and why this is extremely personal to me. Article 40.3.3, known as the Eighth Amendment, was voted into the Irish Constitution …
Lupus and pregnant?
Pregnant? I am pregnant, the title isn’t clickbait. A little over 3 months, at this stage. I found out in March and until I got out of that first trimester, I didn’t tell a lot of people. My mum was here in Ireland at the time and I told her after a couple of days, …
Nerd on the Radio funny!
Oops! Honestly, I’ve been surprising myself this last year that I haven’t had an awful lot of big fails since the start of my radioshow, Nerd on the Radio. That also meant that something was about to happen sooner or later. And it did, today. A little backstory might be in order here. I have …
