Everybody is wrong bar Enoch. The child and his family were wrong for their request for the school to support the pupil and to use “they” pronouns in the school.

Carbury Castle from a drone’s perspective

Tweets with links versus tweets without
I have been wondering for a long time about the best content for me to share on Twitter. I have done a great deal of research on the topic and read all kinds of opinions from so called experts and those less obviously expert.

Drone photography-I overlooked the unique photos you can take with a drone
When I decided to buy a drone, the primary purpose was to add a further dimension to my videos. I have worked hard developing my YouTube channel over the years-ten or eleven at this stage-and I thought throwing in some drone footage in vlogs would be beneficial.

And getting the starter to wake up, so to… Continue reading A standard operating procedure that works is an invaluable tool

Reading “Dubliners” and “Ulysses” like comparing reading English with Greek or Latin

I got a replacement drone
I had my replacement drone out at the weekend and enjoyed flying it again. I had lost the first drone I bought-a DJI Mini2-in the River Boyne on the 1st January.
