I rang the Gardaí today as someone was in a bad way with drugs. I said he's running through traffic and twerking. I meant tweaking. Still 🫣

"Did women have no choice, Wilcox wondered, but to wander the world hoping never to step on a landmine of a man?" Read an excerpt from Christa Hillstrom's @atavist.com story about a nurse's quest to document the life and death of every woman killed by a man in the US. longreads.com/2025/12/04/f...

Not one, but two, cat cafes in Colchester. A strange and pleasant land, indeed.

English youths are lovely. Definitely less sullen than our lads. Although it pains me to say it.

Ordered a grocery delivery for myself for when I'm in England next week. The lads weren't exaggerating, they're being robbed over there.

Flying from knock airport in a couple of days and had to email them. They use a Gmail account. Adorable or terrifying?

This crochet project is abusing me.

Just trying to help all my Bluesky friends feel the serpent within and get rid of your cyberstress for the weekend. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVpr...

The Housing Crisis is in crisis.

I've been holding towels for swimmers again. Holding firm to their siren calls.

There needs to be a register of anonymous people who will delete your ChatGPT history when you die. #ChatRIP

At arthritis clinic. Texted daughter to say it's all women my age. Daughter reckons it was either men or the cold war that did us in. "Lots of radiation knocking about". Lol at men.

I see Musk is claiming that immigrants are fucking up Ireland, but I honestly can't think of a foreigner who has fucked us as hard as that dipshit when he bought Twitter and disrupted our information space and a really useful organisational space. #spéirgorm

Sunrise this morning. Others were swimming. I am not insane enough for that.

Lidl car park

Dementia should be like illegal or something. Seems outrageous to me.

Bet Jim Gavin's ex tenant is feeling pretty smug this morning. #Aras25

Bluey seems to help for firework terror with the dog. Can't say much for the storyline but she seems to enjoy it.

Aging parents lads. In two different countries. Will I survive? Who knows.

Sitting in a restaurant today and a woman sat beside me wearing the same jacket, "Brown Thomas?" she said as we sat there in our Shein finery. ✊

I'm the official camera woman. So I couldn't possibly go in the water.

Pinky sand this morning

Vinted keeps asking me to confirm I received an order from someone who took 7 days to post it. I'll get to that in exactly 8 days, Vinted. #PettyChampionship2025

In a crazy world my washing machine playing Schubert when it's finished is a little bright spark.

It's MS lads. She's doing ok.

MRI in progress. It's a loooong hour.

The only thing stopping me from being a politician is having to stand in a tight group 4 inches behind my leader for TV interviews.

I keep deleting posts because I sound mental. I'm so tired and EVERYONE and EVERYTHING keeps waking me. I have ear plugs, background noise and still being fucking woken up.

#Eir texted me at 1.14am to tell me I owe them €6. Eir can fucking sing for it, and be grateful for the thousands of euro I've given them over the years.

It would be easier to get cocaine than Coca Cola in Sligo hospital. It's the only calories I'm getting lads, why make it so hard?

I love an old post box. Standing firm despite the odds

My daughters been in A&E for 13 hours. I came up with a new code word for our Whatsapp chat: MIKSU Ma, I'm knackered, shut up. It was deployed 30 seconds after I introduced it.

I've taken up painting and 99% of this new hobby seems to be shopping for painting supplies. It's not like I haven't been down this road before.

It's never been a better time to be a racist. Who'd have thunk it.

Snort

People who sell things on Vinted and are then perplexed about needing a printer. Two today.

Vertigo lads. The worst part is having U2 in my head on a loop.

You're all safe. The Gods chose me to be the saddo who takes one lick of their ice cream cone before it falls to the ground.

There is something here called the Sligo Oyster Experience and this is one of their promo shots:

Bitter orange marmalade is very good. Bitter orange antihistamines is not.

Me and a bird tonight. #RossesPoint

Both empty at the same time. I'm facing financial ruin.

@icod.bsky.social I keep thinking this account is old you

I wish we could get an alert or something if we're suddenly going to have to live in a tropical rainforest. Irish people are not built for 98% humidity.

That casual, devil may care attitude of the French is all well and good until you're trying to get them to collect their Vinted item from their local post office. I asked could she please collect before it's returned to me. "Of course. When I'm back." Back? From work/a 15 year stretch? Who knows.

May I recommend not rinsing and recycling the glass garlic granule jar. Just bin it. My entire house is humming of garlic now.

@icod.bsky.social How are your injuries today? Xx

Our newsletter recommendation for @ronanhession.bsky.social's Leonard & Hungry Paul from @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social

Brrrr

Keeping an eye on the town. No blaggarding.
