Please enjoy a bumper list of recommendations while I’m getting back to ‘normal’ life.

Summer is not my favourite season. The tight humidity and impenetrable bright-ness usually leave me feeling frayed and over-extended. This year has been no different though I am grateful that it hasn’t been too, too hot.

The Luas broke down one morning last month leaving me and a few hundred other commuters standing in the rain. I listened to The Dropout which made it a little bit more bearable. A week later, the Luas was down again and my bus crashed so I went deep on West Cork. It's well made, but I feel very conflicted about it. Should journalists really be centring a murderer's story? He has since been convicted in absentia by a French court but even at the time the podcast was made, the evidence against him was overwhelming.

This month's subject line quote comes from Fiona Shaw who continues to be amazing in Season 2 of Killing Eve, and gave a wry, funny interview to an American journalist that made me LOL. Sometimes, she was making joke

Congratulations everyone. We made it. It’s February. Winter, at least in the calendar sense, is over. January was wild and ravenous. I’m sitting at my desk grateful to be warm, cozy and indoors while the wind whips around outside.
