Just came over to see if anybody was talking about the Squarespace ad which I think finally did make me laugh a lot.

On my list of things America is sorely lacking in: Lemsip. Why can't I find Lemsip? How do people suffer colds here?

Asked 9 year old to put his dishes in the dishwasher today. Response, a deep sigh and โ€œmy genius is squandered under the boot of authority!โ€Books are so damaging to young minds!

Soaked and sore after today's Holiday Half in Portland. But also a little bit smug.

Also second best thing (see previous post): that it just keeps feeding me images of Emma Thompson. What a gem.

Sometimes I think the best thing social media does for me is serve me up random poems that swivel my day. Like today's, The Fourth Sign of the Zodiac" from Mary Oliver:
"I know, you never intended to be in this world. / But youโ€™re in it all the same. / So why not get started immediately."

RIP Shay McGowan, and bualaidh bos for sharing a departure date with Patrick Kavanagh but beating Kissinger.

He is! And your piece made me want to go back and do early parenting again only better. Your kiddo is a lucky fellow.

"The universe owes us nothing; we, the living, must safeguard one another." Wonderful tribute to a wonderful writer by a wonderful writer.

What a lovely piece. (We also love Jon Klassen in our house.) That last line floored me.

Children finally back to school today after a strike and Iโ€™ve forgotten what doing school even is any more.

I remember coming to America aged 20 and tasting pesto for the first time. I thought it was nectar from the gods.

Happy Halloween. Yes, we do celebrate it in Ireland which was where it began in fact.

What a joy to have witnessed Manchรกn Magan's gorgeous and meditative Arรกn & Im last night. Brought home some starter and feel like there's a little bit of Ireland bubbling away in my house this morning.
