I made a commitment back on 31st January 2022 that I was going to blog every day for 12 months. This blogging was to be done on this website and was entirely separate from blog posts that I might write for my law based websites such as BusinessAndLegal.ie or EmploymentRightsIreland.com. It was to be entirely… Continue reading Blogging every day for 12 months-how it’s going

The curse of knowledge, and the great opportunity that presents itself
I was contacted by a client of mine recently who was interested in buying a retail unit for his professional practice. He was confused about what was actually being offered for sale, however, and asked me a number of questions about it. The questions appeared to me to be stupid questions. As far as I… Continue reading The curse of knowledge, and the great opportunity that presents itself
Making a short movie/VLOG and the bittersweet attempt to capture memories
I’m making a short movie or vlog about our day trip to Kinsale and the Old Head of Kinsale on 19th March 2022. I have quite a good deal of camera footage and the temptation is to just dump it on a timeline and add some music with a few captions thrown in. And if… Continue reading Making a short movie/VLOG and the bittersweet attempt to capture memories
Finding Woody Guthrie in Kinsale, #2
We were in Kinsale yesterday as we are in Cork for the long weekend-the new public holiday on Friday in recognition of the Covid 19 sacrifices made by people etc. Kinsale is a beautiful town and the Old Head of Kinsale is spectacular. But I was staring into the window of a second hand book… Continue reading Finding Woody Guthrie in Kinsale, #2
I never know what I am going to write
I have written a new blog post every day since I made that commitment on 31st January 2022. I promised myself that I would blog every day for 12 months. I used to always worry about what I would write about. But since I have made that commitment I just write something every day. Seth… Continue reading I never know what I am going to write
I am going to blog daily for 12 months
Today is the first day of my daily blog. I have attempted to blog daily in the past and have always failed. Failed if you consider not continuing failure. But I had reasons for quitting, and they were not just to do with the commitment of blogging daily. Anyway, I won’t go into that now.… Continue reading I am going to blog daily for 12 months
Showing up every day is hard
Showing up every day is hard, regardless of your field of endeavour. It may be writing or making music or making art or working in what society sees as an important or unimportant job. Doing that thing, the work, day in day out, with consistency and reliability is difficult. I signed up again-for the third… Continue reading Showing up every day is hard
Ballinadrimna Graveyard
I visited Ballinadrimna graveyard yesterday morning. I believe it is long since closed and I don’t think any burials have taken place for many years. Walking around the graveyard I was struck, once again, by how many of the names on headstones were names of families still living in the parish-for example, Cusack, Miggin, Gorry,… Continue reading Ballinadrimna Graveyard
Just a quick question
It is a source of constant surprise the number, and type, of persons who contact me looking for free legal advice. The approach can be made in any number of channels of communication to me: phone, email, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube. I do not believe my response to such approaches is overly mercenary or… Continue reading Just a quick question
Trees (when I look out the window of my home office)
When I look out the window of my home office here in my home in Kildare I see some beautiful trees which I am pleased to say I planted many years ago when we first moved to this property. The trees, like myself, have matured and aged and we have both taken on a slightly… Continue reading Trees (when I look out the window of my home office)
