Negative

I no longer have Covid. I am released from isolation.

Alas, my negative diagnosis came too late for me to make it to UX London. But that���s okay���by the third and final day of the event, everything was running smooth like buttah! Had I shown up, I would���ve just got in the way. The Clearleft crew ran the event like a well-oiled machine.

I am in the coronaclear just in time to go away for a week. My original thinking was this would be my post-UX-London break to rest up for a while, but it turns out I���ve been getting plenty of rest during UX London.

I���m heading to the west coast of Ireland for The Willie Clancy Summer School, a trad music pilgrimage.

Jessica and I last went to Willie Week in 2019. We had a great time and I distinctly remember thinking ���I���m definitely coming back next year!���

Well, a global pandemic put paid to that. The event ran online for the past two years. But now that it���s back for real, I wouldn���t miss it for the world.

My mandolin and I are bound for Miltown Malbay!
