By the start of 2022 I pretty much had V4 of Tubridy.net established.
Here’s what has happened since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aftermath of the freeze. Over the next couple of months, most of the plants died back significantly, if not dead as a doornail! My failed mango project from 2020 mercifully was one of those. I have a lot of work ahead to turn all the dead bamboo into walls for the patio!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By May 2026, five people had tragically lost their lives to drowning in our beach town so far this year. This alarming increase in fatalities happens at a time of a unprecedented influx of tourists seeking to escape the weight of their cumbersome wads of cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tragically, two of these victims were at our slice of paradise a block away, where I once watched the rockets launch as a child. The growing number of people, who seem indifferent to the power of Mother Ocean, has exacerbated the situation. Moreover, the serious impact of coastline restoration<\/a> has resulted in an unnatural coastline that amplifies the effects of rip tides\u2014the primary cause of these tragic incidents.<\/p>\n\n\n

These used to be at every beach cross over until people started drowning and some idiots egos got bruised. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

To ensure that this unfortunate event occurred in perfect harmony with the ever-increasing tide of absurdity, a lawsuit was filed against beach safety devices. These devices, which were promptly removed due to bruised egos, were the intended solution to prevent such tragedies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
