Saturday, 31 July 2021: It was an absolute delight to see Siobhán O'Brien preform live at the Limerick Rally for Freedom; I hadn't seen her perform live since the late 90's when my wife and I were regulars at her gigs in Limerick. I was formerly introduced to her at the Rally for Freedom by her mother, who I know for years, but had never made the connection that Siobhán was the singer/songwriter daughter that she often spoke about. I's a small town all the same. Siobhán O'Brien website: https://www.siobhanobrien.com/ Siobhán O'Brien YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0lNMFtSNbxQUjMvf9acB4A Siobhán preformed two songs on the day, her own "Mumbo Jumbo Blah Blah Blah" (1994) and a cover of Patti Smiths "People Have The Power" LYRICS: ************************************* MUMBO JUMBO BLAH BLAH BLAH They’re killing our future and it isn’t even here Create me I said don’t break me Teach me don’t corupt me just teach me Infiltrate their minds catch ‘em when they’re young Control them you’ve taken us off the land But it’s alright cause we’ll get jobs in packaging CHORUS: Mumbo Jumbo and bla bla bla You think that we think that that means something You’re all the same to us bla bla bla You’ve tried to take our pride You’ve tried to take our souls Don’t kid yourself that you have won We have our weapons and we won’t use it for fun Leaders use your power you’re tangled in a web Of hypocrisy, bribery, deception and deceit Far from honestly are you CHORUS: Where ‘re the great people who didn’t put their names to anything? All the Anons, You stole my tune but the thoughts are still in my head. *********************************** PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER by Patti Smith I was dreaming in my dreaming Of an aspect bright and fair And my sleeping it was broken But my dream it lingered near In the form of shining valleys Where the pure air recognized And my senses newly opened I awakened to the cry That the people have the power To redeem the work of fools Upon the meek the graces shower It's decreed the people rule The people have the power The people have the power The people have the power The people have the power Vengeful aspects became suspect And bending low as if to hear And the armies ceased advancing Because the people had their ear And the shepherds and the soldiers Lay beneath the stars Exchanging visions And laying arms To waste in the dust In the form of shining valleys Where the pure air recognized And my senses newly opened I awakened to the cry The people have the power The people have the power The people have the power The people have the power Where there were deserts I saw fountains Like cream the waters rise And we strolled there together With none to laugh or criticize And the leopard And ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPJXra5Lssc

On Saturday night, 28th May 2022, I was standing at my door when I saw a fox cub strolling up my garden path. I assumed that the fox was heading to my water feature for a drink as it is a popular watering hole for the local foxes. The day before we had a family gathering and my niece was excited to tell me that she had seen a fox cub come into the garden and run out again; I told her that he was probably coming in for a drink, but got a bit of a fright with all the children running around. so when I saw the cub i decided to get out my phone and film it having a drink to send it on to my brother to show her. However, when I went outside there was no sign of the fox, but I could hear a crunching noise coming from the hedge, so I went over to investigate. Much to my surprise I discovered the fox cub hidden in the hedge and snacking on an enormous rat. I have seen an adult fox eat a rat before; it played with it like a cat would play with a mouse, but with the purpose of breaking the rat's bones before devouring it whole, head first. The cub, being much smaller than an adult, was tearing it up and eating it piece by piece. Now the curious thing is that the fox didn't have the rat in it's mouth when it came into the garden, it had actually stashed the rat there two days before and when it had had its fill it buried the rat again to finish off later. I have more footage of the cub eating the rat and I may make an edited video about it.
