This lovely story has proved a lovely balm in the madness of last minute Christmas supermarkets and post offices! Thank you to DOD, Max and loving the addition of Jim on the keys. Tapping my nails on the counter here waiting for part 3 tomorrow. Have you heard the story of the green bunny?

This fabulous woman never stops fighting - and I love her for it 📣

❄️ It's the mooost wonderful tiiiime of the yeeeeaaar... ❄️ Prints: www.ciaraioch.com/artprints/p/...

My mouth is watering! These are definitely going on “the list”!!

A week to go and #BobsRandomAdventCalendar is starting to run out of doors! But there's a few randoms left in the photo folder so let's have a peek at 17... Today it's a helpful street sign.

Now I’m crying. Not everyone knows that @stephenking.bsky.social can do that to you with his writing. Rob Reiner knew. What a gorgeous tribute.

It’s a @ciaraioch.bsky.social delivery day and I’m delighted with them! What beautiful designs. Loving the arty crow and the fantastic An Chailleach cards. Thanks Ciara!

This is the kind of news I live for on gloomy winter days like today! #TheGrandStretchIsBack

This beautiful man turns 100 today. What a life! Love me a showman - and he still dances better than lots of people I know 🤣 I don’t watch this video often, it makes me cry…. But it’s worth it and fitting for today. Happy Birthday Dick 🎉

So glad that I managed to get in here and pick up these beauties before they sold out again! My last minute-ism was really going against me, but you won’t find better than Ciara’s prints and cards.

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

If December is kicking your arse - as it often does, lovely Bob has some distractions for you to take a moment for yourself. So far I’ve been loving #BobsRandomAdventCalendar

Well this is just gorgeous 😍

We wouldn’t be lucky enough for him to have run to the States, would we? 🤔

It would appear that they asked the right person!

Thanks to a wave of online orders yesterday, we’ve gone from no hope of making rent to having rent within our grasp! We pay rent today and we’re only a few hundred away now! Less than 10 sales could get us over the line! littledeercomics.ie

Every far-right riot and protest that was tolerated, every racist dog whistle from public reps, every bit of hate and misinformation allowed to spread by social media companies, all led to this moment in Drogheda last night where someone felt emboldened enough to try to burn children alive.

Setting fire to a building when people, children, are inside should be investigated like it's an attempted murder because that's what it fucking is.

She’s just fantastic!

Just woke up, first thing I did - check @gavreilly.com for the spreadsheet. Essential in any Irish election #Áras25 🗳️

Up and out to the polls early before work for me. There was always only one choice for me. For balance, integrity, consistency, pride and fairness - it’s Catherine Connolly #Spéirghorm #Áras25

I actually gave @phlaimeaux.bsky.social a big round of applause, while sitting at traffic lights when he finally worked out the “H” that he might like on today’s #WhatDidYouDoYesterday episode! And yes @maxrushden.bsky.social I was one of those people shouting out the answers in my car 🤣

New introduction for new followers. I’m Marc & this is Master Pippin. By day, I produce LEGO® Bluey & LEGO® DUPLO® Marvel apps for little kids. (Best job ever.😉) By Dawn, we walk the shore & capture ireland’s incredible sunrises. Come with us? Pls share if you enjoy what we do? #ireland

Personally, I’ll be there with bells on. Ignoring all of the distractions and voting for the independent candidate. That’s how you use a vote 🗳️ You should only use yours for whichever of the 2 candidates you feel will make a better president. #Aras25

I really can’t believe that I have to point out that spoiling your vote is not the protest you may think it is. It’s not a kick in the eye to the government - in fact it plays into their hands! If you really don’t want either candidate as our President, better to stay away from the polls. #Aras25

Here’s Jenny Maguire, the first trans woman elected to be President of the Student’s Union at Trinity College, Dublin, recommending voting for Catherine Connolly, the inclusive president we need! Jen is sound! #Aras25

How lovely is #LeonardAndHungryPaul ?? I absolutely loved the book by @ronanhession.bsky.social and the TV adaptation is the perfect balm to watch at the end of the week in our chaotic world. Fair play Rónán, you have created something gorgeous that deserved this other life👏 Can’t wait for next week

Sometimes I make videos of moments I simply think are calm and beautiful. And I don’t always bother sharing them because, well, it’s troublesome & I think people might find them boring? But here….

Bertie’s gonna be RAGING? #Aras25

Which is why there should be flotillas every week of the year.

Manchán 🕯️

I’m very sad at the news about Manchán Magan. He was such a gentle treasure. A few years ago he was giving out lesser used words as Gaeilge to people to take care of and use. I got MAIGHRE, which he described as someone being “a bit of a stunner”. He was an absolute maighre himself, gone too soon.

Gaze upon Cleo and her elegant ways … and you want to smile, read the alt text 👌

Big bualadh bos to whatever “mad bastard” managed this. And on this weekend too👌 This is why I still love Dublin. Long may it fly there 🇵🇸 #FreePalestine

Kneecap’s Mo Chara sits down for world first interview after terror charge dropped. “Better luck next time Keir,” says the rapper - who says he’s considering legal action against the British state over damage to reputation and loss of earnings over court hearings. @virginmedianews.bsky.social

Ooh, this one looks like a great event. LOVE Chris Whitaker’s books. Right, am I free on this date 🤔 #Booksky #MurderOneFest2025

I think my car may be trolling CMAT 😱 Some weird glitch caused this image to appear when I was listening to her earlier. #CMAT #EUROCOUNTRY

I haven’t been able to read properly for months. Poor attention span! But I’ve missed it. This beautiful book though - read with the sound of the sea crashing onto the County Clare coast is reeling me back in! First Hugo Hamilton for me & it’s gorgeous. Thanks Hugo and @kennysbookshop.bsky.social

Same 🥺

Lovely interview with one of the great, kind, balanced people out there. I love her kind heart and intelligence as much as her naughty stories 🤩 And I fully agree on Lynn Ruane. We would be lucky to have her represent us.

Well, SOMEONE mourns the wicked

Predictions for tonight's #TraitorIRL Paudie gets confused and accidentally comes down to breakfast in his Traitor robe. The Faithful still vote out Joanna

Looking for a new series that you won’t be able to put down? I LOVED this series and am sitting on my hands waiting for more! #Castleby #Suspense #Booksky

Just saw #TheLifeOfChuck what a beautiful movie it is. I will forever love Stephen King but Mike Flanagan’s movie leaves us all wanting to dance. When Sarah made this gorgeous face to Chuck, I immediately recognised her. Has Mia Sara lived in the universe inside my head since the 80’s??? Perhaps!

They really do seem to be all crawling out from under rocks for this election. It’s getting embarrassing at this stage.

Ah Janey, sad to hear this. Bernadette in Priscilla Queen of the Desert will forever be one of my favourite characters with possibly my favourite line from a movie, ever. Among many great lines.

Sickening. On recognition of Palestine state by other countries, the Israeli Finance Minister clearly identifies Israel’s aim that, “There will be nothing to recognise No one to recognise” Now say it’s not about ethnic cleansing, genocide, in breach of international law www.bbc.com/news/article...
