Redoing my #introduction for the latest arrivals, now with more hashtags! Hi, I’m MacDara. I’m a recovering production journalist now working in localisation #l10n in the tech sphere by day, and I freelance as a digital editor/writer by night. I’ve also been a music and film writer but that’s relegated to hobby status at the moment. I’m from Dublin but I live in #Dundalk #Louth. I’m into (weird) #music and #movies #film and #wrestling. I’m more than the sum of these parts.

For contrast, here's the viewshed of St James's Church, Louth, Lincolnshire (the tallest medieval parish spire in Britain)... By and large, you can see one or the other, but only very rarely both! #Lincolnshire #Louth #LandscapeHistory

Pleasantly surprised to find out that Louth's International Women's Association is still meeting regularly and updating its website. So many groups had trouble keeping going in the last couple of years, so this is a ray of light.

It's Record Store Day tomorrow. Local to me, Off The Beaten Tracks in #Louth #Lincolnshire usually has queues going down the street for this event, and the rare releases that come out on this day. It's quite an event.
