Made in Ireland a long time ago. Cats, books, tea, spotty bananas. Daily recorder of #3goodthings, celebrating the tiny joys. Pub by Hachette Ireland and Sphere Books UK. 23rd novel, Second Chances, out now. Thinking about next. Be kind, it's easy.
Thank you. A night of uninterrupted sleep would be only wonderful.
I love Snowball.
It was a great morning, Gill. I wasn't much help, slithering around in the mud, still a bit challenged mobility-wise after the hip replacement - but the group did trojan work. I love when communities come together to make a difference.
#3goodthings
1. Busy day. Helped to plant 500+ native woodland trees here this morning, and listened to a talk after about the need to reclaim Ireland's forests.
2. A spin to Doonbeg with a brother in the afternoon. Forgot snap. Gave Trump's gaff a wide berth.
3. Washed the car. It's squeaky clean.
Thanks a million Sharon!
It's gorgeous, Sheila.
I know! I think Easons are the only ones who do that.
#3goodthings
1. Signing in Easons. My name on the shelf 😂😂😂
2. Cute grow your own carrots bags spotted in Tesco. I can't say I wasn't tempted.
3. Ginger tea. 😋😋😋😋😋😋
#3goodthings
1. More gusts, more daff casualties, more yellow in the kitchen.
2. Miltown Malbay gearing up for the big parade. 🇮🇪🇮🇪☘️☘️☘️
3. The sea at Spanish Point. A wild beast.

1. Pink chai latte. Beetroot and raspberry in the mix, I was told. Bit insipid, to be honest - but so pretty.
2. Daffs blew down in last night's gale, so now they're brightening up the kitchen. Tis an ill wind.
3. Ennis street art.
Give it a go.
It kind of works. I still had to get out the scrubber but it didn't take long to shift the accumulated spills.
#3goodthings
1. Cleaning the oven racks. Exhausting. 😂😂
2. First buds on the magnolia dangerously close to blooming.
3. A lazy afternoon ripping out a geansai to create another. Fingers crossed - when it comes to knitting, my optimism is streets ahead of my competency. 🙈🙈🧶🧶🧶🧶
Ha ha - hell, yes!
It's rather good!
Will mention you to St Martha, today's my day to light the candle and have a chat with her x
No worries, say hi to the old Twitterati.
Was out on Feb 5 - keep up! Currently plotting the next.
A timely warning to all writers, self-published or not. I was recently alerted to my "testimonial" on a scam outfit, complete with recent profile pic. DO NOT FALL FOR THESE IDIOTS' ATTEMPTS TO SCAM YOU OUT OF MONEY. writerbeware.blog/2025/09/19/r...
Glad to hear it. Onwards. X
Not too bad, Alan. How're you doing?
Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music
Several dozen folks did
Some even dubbed music over the original clip.
I haven't been able to get this out of my head.
So I give you
A Bluesky exclusive:
Reservoir Ducks

1. Porridge with everything in it.
2. Pretty purple flowers. Every year they feel their way up through the gravel.
3. Soda bread, to use up aged milk.
Someone requested this hoodie, so... I guess it's in the store now.

out, I went up to the group and came clean. Two of them had spotted me and thought I was who I was, but weren't sure. They were all lovely. I signed their books and posed for a snap. Thanks to The Tired Mammy Book Club (Instagram). 📚💙

The annual Ennis Book Club festival has just taken place. Yesterday I snuck into an event in which members of an online book club reviewed Moving On. I wanted to hear honest feedback, so I lay low. Thankfully, the reviews were positive with just a few minor criticisms. At the end, as people filed
