Friday Fun Link – Guilty Counter

Always gives me a shiver when I realise I’m living through an incredibly unprecedented moment that’s going to be talked about for years and part of history books! https://x.com/travon/status/1796288035749019957

Music Monday – “I’m free/It took me in my whole life/I got the keys to the cages/I’m ready for bright lights”

Wish I’d been able to see U2 at The Sphere (extra jealous talking to a coworker yesterday who said they’d been!) but YouTube videos will have to suffice… “Atomic City” – U2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2v0Wa2i4yM
