Craic/Crack
What’s the craic?
According to Wikipedia (May 2020):
Craic (/kræk/ KRAK) or crack is a term for news, gossip, fun, entertainment, and enjoyable conversation, particularly prominent in Ireland. It is often used with the definite article – the craic – as in the expression "What's the craic?" (meaning "How are you?" or "What's happening?").
BTW, I personally prefer the spelling crack but nowadays it tends to get confused with some manner of recreational pharmacology. I tend to use both as the mood takes me.
Scroll down and you’ll get the gist of what craic/crack is.

And so it begins…
A bit of crack does not necessarily require music and drink but it doesn’t hurt (immediately).
2020 – one hell of a year!

If this makes no sense to you, then watch the TV show Father Ted, particularly the episode entitled Speed 3.

Multilayered, like an onion –
thin-skinned, smelly & makes you cry.

I think that’s been there a while.

Got to hand it to those highlanders, they recycle everything, right down to the wire.

After a few attempts, I managed to get the house, stars and flashing head torch visible in one 30 second exposure.
Believe it or not, I’m actually running around in this photo but I’m not visible because I’m not bright enough, as it were.
