    So a double whammy of St. Patricks Day & Mothers day behind us now as well... Easter in the sights next which is what? 3 weeks away? Year is flying.

    Yeah we are motoring now, March slipping away at rapid pace, only one more weekend left in March. Glad it's moving quick after that horrendous January. Loving the sunny mornings as well.

    The speed of February and March has just about made up for how slowly January went. Feels about right that we're nearly three months into the year.

    The clocks change this weekend too. I always get caught out with meetings the week before as they change a week or two earlier in America. It means that it'll be bright until nearly 8 every evening. Summer is nigh.

    I wont lie I was watching the match after getting home from training, but my Mrs was raging over us failing to qualify & gave out yards about some of the ones that did... I found the whole thing quite funny TBH which just made her worse 🤣

    We were worse than bad though- we were mediocre and generic. And the lead singer's outfit was pure embarrassing! 🐫

    At least the really awful acts stick in your mind. Being forgettable won't get you anywhere in Eurovision!

    Used to love watching the darts over the christmas holidays but totally lost interest over the last few years. Might give it a go again this year though.

    According to wiki it seems so;

    After the collapse of the British Darts Organisation in September 2020, the WDF announced plans to launch the WDF World Championship and WDF World Masters. Both competitions took place for the first time in 2022, starting with the 2022 WDF World Darts Championship in April.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Darts_Federation

    I had no idea the BDO went, sad really as without the BDO there's no PDC. Many fond memories of watching BDO play at the Lakeside on BBC growing up.

    PDC World Darts Championship starting Fri 15th Dec

    Maybe a bit left field but could All Ireland Club Senior Hurling Semi finals be added ?. This year's games are 16th/17th Dec with last year's games been 18th Dec. Starting to become a yearly pre Christmas tradition
