Security camera recording of the train passing our house at around midday. My video editing skills aren't the best, so the recording goes on for a while after the train has passed.

This came past our house earlier on its way to Kilkenny.

I have a Bluesky invite code if anyone wants it. Fellow #MastoDaoine maybe?

#Blindboy thoroughly covered Yorkshire pudding discourse, but this weekend at our Sunday roast we had 'pigs in blankets', a side dish so at ease with pleasure it can't possibly be Catholic. Thoughts from my fellow #MastoDaoine ? Do ye have pigs in blankets on your Irish Sunday roast? Because you should.

@bridmcgrath

None of the press articles mention cause of death. Are we to conclude that she took her own life?

#Sinead #MastoDaoine

Traffic backed up through Monasterevin this morning in the Kildare Town direction (Ireland).

Anyone know why?

@PatrickoftheG @Lazarou #MastoDaoine do you have any suggestions for good books on Irish history please? I've been learning mostly from YouTube but would prefer a few books. #BooksOfMastodon

Solar panels

Have any of my fellow #MastoDaoine recently had photovoltaic solar panels installed?

Looking for recommendations for installers.

Residential house in south Kildare.

@sinabhfuil is a bit of a history buff and may be able to help.

For anyone seeing three follow requests from similar accounts, I have three accounts which I try to keep roughly in sync. This helps if one instance goes down (hopefully only temporarily).

My choices are:

This one because I'm #ActuallyAutistic

@ratcatcher@mastodon.ie because I live in Ireland. #MastoDaoine

@ratcatcher@frog.camp because the name is cool and it's run by a trans, anarchist geek who also seems cool.

Have any fellow #MastoDaoine managed to claim this yet?

I submitted my tax return via ROS. I went carefully through all of the screens but couldn't find any reference to it, or way to claim it. I've sent two online enquiries about it but haven't heard back.

As far as managing tax credits for 2023 is concerned, the relevant page has a banner heading saying the credit can't currently be claimed but they hope to make it available mid-February.

Could it be (just a vague theory, mind) that this is why they are getting so many calls?

On the bog today, cutting reeds for St Brigid's Day.

First decent walk for a while.

Also remember that if you're already claiming UK pension since September 2022 or before, you should be eligible for the winter fuel allowance from UK.

@Joanne

I've just done our tax return (form 11) via ROS. As far as I can tell, the rent relief options are not there yet, so I'll have to do an amended version when they are. I've enquired about it via their secure messaging, but haven't heard back yet.

You can also amend your personal allowance details for 2023 so it's included in your tax code. But when you go to do so, there's a banner saying it won't be available until February.

Have tickets to see Foster & Allen in Newbridge tonight but can't go due to a nasty bout of flu. Bugger.

Still, at least I have a bunch of thyme for my cough.
