Seamus Joyce does blogging

Welcome to the Seamus Joyce Does Things blog, where I, Seamus Joyce, will be sharing my adventures and misadventures. Expect a humorous take on my weight loss challenge, my campaign to become a local councillor in May 2026, my golfing journey, and my walks with my red setter, Storm. Join me as I try to do things, and hopefully inspire you along the way!

Weight loss challenge

Follow my journey as I attempt to shed some kilos  and get healthier. Expect humorous anecdotes, healthy recipes (maybe), and the occasional slip-up. Wish me luck! Share your own experiences in the comments below – maybe we can motivate each other.

I weighted myself on the 1st of January at 5pm and was a staggering 118.7 kg. I will never be this heavy again. 

Election campaign 2026

In May 2026, I'm running for local councillor! Join me as I navigate the world of local politics. I'll be sharing my platform, discussing local issues, and (hopefully) winning over some voters with wit and wisdom. Your support and insights are greatly appreciated. Let me know what matters to you, and share this post with any friends who might be interested. My running mates in the Ham, Petersham and Richmond Riverside ward are current local councillor Penny Frost and fellow Irish man Dermot Kelly

Golfing adventure

From the first tee to the (hopefully) 18th green, I'll be documenting my golfing escapades. Expect terrible shots, occasional moments of brilliance, and plenty of laughs. Any tips for improving my swing are welcome! Don’t forget to leave a comment with your golfing tips to inspire others.

Walking with storm

Join Storm and me on our daily walks as we explore the local countryside. Expect scenic views, encounters with other dogs (and their owners), and maybe even a bit of unexpected adventure. Share your favourite walking spots with me !Leave a comment below and share your experiences.
