You know you're approaching your 30s when your impulse thrift-shopping style shifts to homeware. Today we welcomed our new dining table from St Vincent dePaul, we got it for a song AND a good cause. 13/10, can't recommend enough

Great news! Pity there are no houses for them to buy tho

I thought I liked planning parties. It turns out I actually only like decorating for parties

Me, at literally any given opportunity:

Working from home, taking calls about invalid eviction notices. Just saw the landlord who evicted my neighbours last month, checking out their old apartment. I've opened my window just so he can hear me give out about the unscrupulous and cowardly landlord class

45 y/o, in a nightclub for first time in years. Young lad burst into the toilets & caught me furtively trying to open a little ziploc bag. He said "just a heads up, the bouncers come in here to check for drugs". Couldn't tell him it was my bag of googly eyes, to stick on a poster

I would make the assumption that anybody still on the CSAM site is there because they don't have a problem with CSAM

Gonna start calling him Spineless Harris

There's something about those weird old empty husks of warehouses out the Dock Road that makes the world feel okay again

Fingers so cold I'm about to dunk them directly into the tea

This has been the Mondayest of Mondays

I know it's cold, but that doesn't give you free reign to act fucking stupid

Watching that freezing fog creep in off the river does something special for the soul

This again, except this time it's like "hey wher r u???"

The Christmas card I sent to American friends "above the bike shop in Kilrush" finally made it. Friend is astonished that this worked as an address, I fkn love An Post

Not to brag, but I am genuinely the best at work-appropriate memes from The Office on MS Teams

Gave myself a haircut, think it turned out okay. Contrary to popular belief, thankfully NOT having a breakdown this time

That crowd at Dublin Castle look miserable, godluvem

I dont care how big your balls are, if you manspread beside me on public transport, I WILL kick you

One of those night where I wish I could text my cat :'(

Amazing how quiz shows consistently find a way to up the ante. My parents are watching a show where the contestants appear to be racing in little go-karts as they answer trivia questions

Yule log update

You better watch out

Cry all you want, evil little rectangle. Your cries have no power on Christmas Eve

Work phone is currently on 9% battery. It's the last day of work in 2025, I am refusing to charge the thing again until next year

ANGUISH!!! My log split 😱

I'm finally gonna do it. I finally have the time, space, and equipment to give making my first Bûche de Noël a go.

We tell a story in my family about the time the elastic in my grandmother's underwear gave, she stepped out of her pants at the doors of Penneys and walked away like nothing happened. Dear reader, last night I lived this. The pants I wore over my tights are still somewhere on the Rathmines Rd

We have a monthly subscription to a pet supply place, mostly because it gives the cat a fresh new cardboard box to destroy every month

If anyone knows Jim O'Callaghan, can you let him know I'm free for a scuffle if he feels like scrapping. Not that I'm bored or anything, I just think he could do with a few slaps.

I think all my old mates emigrating because there were no jobs between 2008-2014, and then most of my new mates emigrating between 2018-2025 because there are no gaffs, has had a greater effect on social cohesion than migrants

Got my undercut redone at lunchtime and I am once again hot shit

Can we commission CMAT to write a song about Jim O'Callaghan #spéirghorm

I just got a scam call about problems with my visa application. As an Irish citizen with a foreign name, I'm actually quite offended by this. Also fucking miserable to be preying on immigrants like that

The power @blindboyboatclub.bsky.social has over Limerick City & County Council is amazing. One podcast episode about falling off your bike on slippy leaves, and suddenly the leaves are GONE

—I’ve been asked to baptise the King of Spain’s daughter —Infanta? —No, holy water as usual. Weird thing to ask honestly

Have you ever been caught up in a pigeon tornado up by the Terry Wogan statue? Bird tourists of Limerick, add that to your bucket list, it's 10 times better than the bird-shit district

Brokeposting, but make it Less Grim

Currently spending about €30 a month on pillar candles and tealights, but it's both cheaper and vibier than having electric lights on. We've been calling it "going analogue"

I'm gonna need a photo of the even better dressed guy who took this photo

We're listening to an audiobook of Great Expectations atm (my 2nd time, partner's 1st time) Pip just met his benefactor and Himself is shooketh

It was touch-and-go for a bit there, but we made it home in foul humour and unscathed

I have to go out to the Crescent shopping centre today to finish my Christmas shopping. So in vital preparation, I am mainlining coffee and making croissants in the hopes of preventing abject fury with total strangers

End the child surveillance state

I saw this post last night and then dreamed heavily about this shrub in Chile, it calls to me

The comforts of home cooking 🫶

My cat loves it when we write stuff down, he's always right there supervising when we're making lists or taking notes. I'm thinking a teacher or scholar in his former life?

Photos of me in work's Year In Review slideshow are an absolute affront to my sensitivities. I never agreed to be perceived by others in slideshow format
