Hazel Chu has been selected to run in the next General Election for the Green Party in Dublin Bay South. She will be up against FIne Gael's James Geoghegan who hopes to regain the seat that Eoghan Murphy relinquished in 2021 and Fianna Fáil's Jim O'Callaghan, among others. There are even rumours that Senator Michael McDowell might also run.

I said that I cycle every day regardless of the weather.
I sensed that they thought this was a pretty extreme thing to do, but it's really not. It's just a bit of rain. As the Dutch say, I'm not made of sugar!
Sure, my waterproof trousers are not actually that waterproof, so I sometimes get to the office a bit more soggy than I would prefer. But that's a failure of buying cheap poor standard outdoor wear, not a reason to leave the bike at home.

One of my colleagues asked me the other day if I had cycled to work. I was caught off guard, because I cycle every day, and I don't ever question not doing it. It's the way I get everywhere in the city.
They were asking because it was raining outside, which I'm guessing has the implied suggestion that cycling is something that people only do in good weather.

I like to take photos when my ebike reaches a big milestone - or kilometrestone!
Tiny detour on my commute to my nearest food bank so I could vote. The Tories made sure there were loads of them so everyone can do that, right?
