The “Chapelizard Bypass” on the traffic update again on the radio.

Got to love Dublin. #Speirgorm

Have a #painting. "West Cork Trees" came out of cycling past these lads several times out west of Clonakilty where I would catch a glimpse of them through a gap in a hedgerow and despite how far they were away they would always arrest me. I hope they're doing ok. #SpeirGhorm #ArtYear #BlueSkyMonday

There he is now, Declan Nerney on The Late Late Show.

jane goodall made me believe i could just go up and hug any wild animal

A #painting from Ireland's south coast. "Ardmore" is an exalted place for me, not because of the Round Tower, but because when I was small I stayed in a caravan and every day you'd jump over the dunes to the beach after first eating a bowl of Puffa Puffa Rice. #ArtYear #SpeirGhorm #TidesOutTuesday

Things I have never watched: The Traitors. Bake Off. Gogglebox.

@imbibecoffee.bsky.social The FT’s weekend magazine is dedicated to coffee, Gary. Would you like me to send it on when I’m done with it?

I post a thing on a freecycling website and get a reply from someone saying how great this is but they’ll pass, sadly. Could you just *not* reply?

Starting a campaign to get pianos removed from airport terminals.

The true purpose of Bluesky has been revealed and it's Michael Stipe telling us the lyrics to It's The End Of The World As We Know It

Don’t know how I ended up looking for this but Phil Lynott’s burial record in Dublin isn’t easily found because his name is spelt incorrectly in the cemetery burial register. #Speirgorm

"Dublin Bay Chimneys", a new #painting that sold earlier this month. For many, seeing the chimneys when arriving into Dublin port or Dublin airport, means simply one thing. Home, that word home, with all its flaws and its joys, it means you’re home. So I paint them. #SpeirGorm #Stunday #ArtYear

How glad am I now that I taped the BBC2 documentary We Want the Funk last weekend? Very glad indeed.

There's a sanctuary in Meath that takes in often disabled cows and let's them live out their life happily but they're being evicted. If anybody has a few hectares and wouldn't mind cattle on them you should get in contact with them. It's heartstone sanctuary

There won’t be a something something…mumbles…in Grimsby tonight.

Lola getting belly rubs. #Speirgorm 👹

Such is life that I have a sudden need for funds, so I might run through the small number of my original works that are still available. As ever I'm grateful for likes and such things, and as I often say, I couldn't afford to buy my own paintings.

Jamie Lee Curtis and Jeremy Allen White in The Bear. My god. They are just so good.

Delighted to see this outcome for a “group” of puppies.

don’t talk to me or my son ever again

This was the post-celebratory/early morning training session outside Semple Stadium at 7am this morning as former senior hurler Buggy O'Meara took on Olympian Sharlene Mawdsley, with a very slight headstart. They go hard in Tipp.

A #painting from last year. "Kilmore Quay Boat" came out of looking at this boat in Ireland's southeast for an age once upon a time. Its shape and texture kept bringing me back for repeat visits. #SpeirGorm #ArtYear #ColorADay #RedWed

Turned on a programme called Drag Race France in a hotel and it turns out to be people doing a tug of war on a plastic mat covered in water. Disappointing.

This is an important post - for me. My annual online sale of new paintings, postponed last December will be happening at the beginning of August liamdaly.com/2025/07/11/n... #SpeirGorm

A popular Irish custom, carried out to this day, is leaving a Child of Prague statue outdoors under a bush the night before a wedding to ensure good weather If the statue's head breaks off it heightens the odds of sunny weather! 💫🔆 #FolkyFriday #weatherlore #folklore #speirgorm #tradition #Ireland

I miss having the expensive glossy magazines in a hair salon so I can pass the time posting pictures of the most absurd and expensive outfits. #Speirgiorm

Thinking of all the Leaving Cert young people listening to psychologists and career counsellors aged 50+ on the radio tonight telling them to get sleep and to just watch their favourite programme and to close the books. 👍🏻

Blue Road - The Edna O'Brien Story is on tonight at 10pm on Sky Arts 💙

Have a #painting "The Lodge" was my grandparents' home, the lodge house of the Phoenix Park Racecourse in Dublin, which I painted in another lifetime in 4 very long days of love. My mother took it off me and framed it for Dad and her. Which is why it hangs opposite me right now. #SpeirGorm #ArtYear

A documentary on BBC4 where someone formerly in the ambit of The Smiths refers to Morrissey as “just some bloke called Steve”. *The clouds parted and nothing was ever the same again.* #SpeirGorm

Ah no! We're on Season 4 of a rewatch of M*A*S*H at the moment. RIP "Hot Lips" Houlihan - Loretta Swit 💔 www.bbc.com/news/article...

If you were in Arboretum today and your friend escaped … we have him safe in store! Let me know how we can get you reunited!

Come here till I tell ye

Today we celebrate the birth of Robert Moog. It ought to be a holiday.

Happy birthday once more; today we are 4. #SpeirGorm

Ah Norm! RIP George Wendt. Saw him once in a play called Art on Broadway but he’ll always be Norm.

Romeo home safe and sound in Limerick.

I have a thing where I time how long it will take a cat to plop through the flap looking for food after I hit the play button on the remote. Tonight: 48 seconds.
