Happy New Year All!
A bit late I guess but hopefully you all had a good celebration of the annual cusp that is New Year’s. Started the year with a brisk walk/climb through the Comeragh Mountains in Co. Waterford on New Year’s Day - start as I aim to finish and all that.

E really does equal mc^2
Finally after about 100 years scientists have confirmed Albert Einstein’s famous equation of E = mc^2. Leading experts in the field of theoretical physics have utilised some of the most powerful supercomputers in the world to set down the calculations for estimating the mass of protons and neutrons allowing them to finally prove that energy [...]
Above all else, the company is ok!
Just picked this up from Pat Phelan’s update on Twitter. A press release issued by a company in which there were horrific and tragic shootings recently, in America.
