Beautiful.

Happy birthday. Pretty good life lessons to have gather up.
Mine, if someone asks how I look when out, if there is something wrong that can’t be fixed in 5 mins, always say “you are only gorgeous”

I get that the world is in an uneasy place right now. I will however never understand that there is so little outrage about the Taliban in Afghanistan. They have banned books authored by Women now, no leaders in the Western world seem to care. It’s just so awful.

His books were massive, great door stoppers. His book Trinity is based in Ireland.

I remember our house had a lot of the author Leon Uris. Never see his books anywhere now.

Happy cows

I was offered a 100% mortgage with no savings and “ did I want to buy a new car “ as well. No value or reality about spending.
My other memory is of the shopping trips to New York that everyone seemed to be doing.

The gravestone depicting a sword and an early version of a hurley or shinty type stick with a ball.

As it's the #AllIrelandHurlingFinal today here's a sporting warrior from another age.

The gravestone of Magnus Mac Orristin in Clonca Church on Donegal's Inishowen Peninsula.

Very sorry to hear this. I wish you strength and a full recovery.

Grief, loss, sorrow is universal. There is this invisible, unspoken thread which unites us all. I know that I don't sit alone in my grief. To you who mourn, who grieve - may a gentle blanket of love rest upon you.

Gökotta is a Swedish term for waking up early to enjoy the birdsong.

Car accident today (I'm fine; car isn't), plus dog getting put to sleep on Friday. This poem is for anyone else having a crappy time. Take care, my friends. #poetry #mentalhealth

Lá Fhéile Phádraig sona daoibh!

Did you know: in Ireland we celebrate Paddy's Day by buying tickets to see Emma Langford at Levis' in Ballydehob on the 19th of April?

I know, weirdly specific, but there you have it.

Sometimes we’d just get Davey Arthur in for a big hooley!
That was kids TV in Ireland in the 1990s - it was the Wild West and the best ☘️🇮🇪
