So it is that today is #LoveWaterford day but as everyone who lives here knows, that's just a day with a 'y' in it. What isn't there to love? Amazing coastline... #LoveWaterford

(🟑) NEW: Liverpool are continuing to β€˜seduce’ Kylian Mbappe as the Frenchman weighs up his options this summer. PSG have dropped their valuation of the French forward to as low as €120m & they are growing frustrated with him as he is taking his time to decide. [Le Parisien]

Having deleted my old blog some years ago but kept the domain, I discovered an old database backup recently and decided to reinstate the archive. Digitally disappearing wasn't all it was cracked up to be. I'm back! In archive form. jbwan.com
This is what I imagine the last 2 (and a bit!) weeks have been like for the CMO looking on while waiting for somebody in charge to figure out the levels.

Scum! Report anyone you ever see doing this. Completely unacceptable. 🀬🀬🀬
ILLEGAL DUMPING This dumping occurred overnight on a rural road just outside #Waterford City where the rubbish was just tipped up in the middle of the Green Road ... most likely the actions of an illegal waste collector . Please contact 0761 10 20 20 if you see illegal dumping.
I’m at a loss. No words. I’ve been part of two big families with Grant Imahara over the last 22 years. Grant was a truly brilliant engineer, artist and performer, but also just such a generous, easygoing, and gentle PERSON. Working with Grant was so much fun. I’ll miss my friend.

The weekly summary is out. It was a very tough week. Two points of interest and I'm not interested in having either, not even in the slightest. #TheOreganoProject #BVSC #running #runner #anxiety #health runcertain.com/2020/06/16/we…

Emotional moment at Waterford Distillery today as the first bottlings run down the line. For us, the culmination of years of Β£, sweat and tears. But as Winston said β€˜this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”

The classic distance is always a mile; virtually or otherwise. @bvscrunning's second virtual challenge of the #Lockdown saw this traditional competition attract some interest. #TheOreganoProject #BVSC #running #runner #runchat runcertain.com/2020/05/14/vi…

An allergic reaction, as bad a reaction to not running on a treadmill for the first time in 8 weeks but a race. A real (virtual), social (distanced), normal (far from) race! #TheOreganoProject #BVSC #running #runner #lockdown #runchat runcertain.com/2020/04/30/vi…

So thinking that we all need a reason to leave the house once this is over ill be organising a dark history tour of Waterford once a month so if anyone like the history based #WhereInWaterford tweets they might be interested in giving @jimsdarkhistory a follow. Murder mayhem etc!
