Delighted that Catherine Connolly has won it. But lads it’s been such a shambles of an election.

It’s Election Day!

Sometimes when I have to walk somewhere in the rain I think about that Mythbusters episode where they tried to prove that running in the rain doesn’t keep you any drier than walking.

You know the way really small things make you think of people you’ve lost? I just accidentally ripped a tea bag and tea leaves went everywhere and it brought a flood of memories of my Granny who made tea only from tea leaves in a tea pot with no strainer so you had tea leaves in your cup.

Catherine Connolly has dismissed Fine Gael's suggestion that she should have declared her work for financial institutions when speaking in the Dáil as "the daftest thing" she has "ever heard". Connolly was speaking to The Journal's political podcast jrnl.ie/6850435

Tá Gaeilge álainne ag Catherine. Is aoibhinn liom a bheith ag éisteacht leí.

Take a shot every time Heather says “rural pursuit” #Primetimedebate #Presidentialdebate

How can someone justify fox hunting under “rural pursuits”? I’m rural and don’t know a single person who partakes of this rural pursuit.

Got a robot vacuum this week and it’s made me so happy. He’s called Dirt Reynolds and he’s a valued member of the household now.

Just watched the live action Lilo and Stitch. What a gorgeous film. I was a wreck by the end of it. 😭

The worst thing about cleaning is that it will have to be done again. And soon.

Every one of Taylor Swift’s latest Instagram posts about The Life of a Showgirl and its many iterations have had the comments limited or turned off. I can only assume this is due to a barrage of criticism.

Tax breaks for developers and big corporations - if you voted for this Government, this is what you voted for and it should have been clear at the time that the election friendly budgets would come to an end if they were re elected. #Budget2025

The budget is focusing on investment and job creation apparently… are we not at full employment already?

For the record: it is not possible, at this juncture, to officially withdraw or to remove a name from the #aras25 ballot paper. Jim Gavin’s name will remain on the ballot for Friday 24th, merely with no campaign behind it.

Bring back the days of petrol station attendants filling your car for you.

seven-year-old: “who’s voice is that” me: “Bob Dylan” 7yo: “is that yr friend” me: “no a singer” 7yo: “not a very good singer”

Hope you’re storming it up safely #StormAmy

I doubt I can name one person I know who will actually pay for this.

As per the radio this morning, Irish viewers hate The House of Guinness. Apart from a valid criticism about twee leprechaun costumes, I don’t see the issue and am enjoying it immensely. 🤷‍♀️

It’s my Bluesky debut. I’m officially out in time for the season.
