I’m off to the Tyrone Guthrie centre for a weeks writers residency today! Gonna be finishing a picture book and beginning my first YA project - Supported by Waterford Council and CBI - very excited, a bit nervous and fully stocked up on emotional support snacks

If I’ve learnt anything this year, it’s that cats can be lured back inside only with the action of changing your bedsheets. The swish of a duvet cover is their ultimate floor filler

I am spending my Saturday doing what childhood me loved best: visiting multiple tile and flooring shops knowing I won’t be buying anything
