I’m off to a special yoga class followed by a sauna and dunking myself in the river Boyne.

If I see one more stupid Rosalind Franklin take I'm going to lose my mind. Thank god for @matthewcobb.bsky.social and @nccomfort.bsky.social. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The archaeologists and the team working at Tuam have my greatest respect and gratitude.

Haven't heard great things but I'm giving #GameOfWool a go while knitting my christmas jumper.

Really REALLY important that everyone who enjoys #SpéirGhorm goes through these settings and toggles the switch to enable 'rude' posts. Tis a rare one of us who doesn't have a colourful tongue.

I've been using loop experience earplugs for concerts but not totally happy with them so I got etymotic ones to try out. Link here and I'll review them after My Bloody Valentine. www.gear4music.ie/PA-DJ-and-Li...

I'm going to see Florence and the machine next year! I am of course going to sew my own outfit for it.

"What you're about to see has never been attempted at the Tiny Desk: small, MIDI-triggered robots strike and vibrate glass bottles, coffee mugs, plastic wrap and a pizza box to make futuristic music out of the present's refuse and rubbish." clipping. — Tiny Desk Concert: www.npr.org/2025/10/31/g...

There’s a huge gulf between levels of fear of Dublin city centre, and levels of crime, a new survey shows. The City Centre Crime Victim Survey was commissioned by Dublin Inquirer and carried out by Amarách Research.

Catching up and tiny desk had clipping on for Halloween and it was even more awesome and robot filled than you’d imagine. youtu.be/h0-k7vW9Xek?...

forever screaming at Paul and Prue to just go to the bakers' benches when judging something this stupid #gbbo #BakeOff

Went to the Gladiators Live Show in Liverpool yesterday. It was really great. C loved it and he was delighted to get a foam finger. All the events look much harder in real life! Powerball is savage.

We are in Liverpool! Everyone on the plane had jerseys on for the match tonight. 😂

happy Halloween

Pumpkin! A design by C.

Ran out of sweets, huge number of kids called. Kids and adults here dress up. C got so many sweets, he’s delighted.

Trick or treat!

Happy Samhain 🔥

Lots of spooky music about today but if you really want to feel like you’re in some kind of dystopian horror film listen to ‘There existed an addiction to blood’ by clipping.

Happy new Florence and the machine album day to all who celebrate. Yes I did stay up until midnight to listen to it on the good headphones because I have a busy day today.

Oíche shamhna shona! Púca, púca is mise an púca! 👻 Tá súil agam nach mbeidh sé ag cúr fearthainne tráthnóna agus bheidh na páistí ábalta dul trick or treating.

Watching Song Of The Sea again today. Saoirse’s birthday is on the 30 October. I love this film so much.

Lankum are giving us a Halloween treat today! New Florence album tomorrow and new season of Uncanny. A great few days for me! 👻🧙‍♀️🦇

Is this the same asylum system that his party/government set up, that both FF and FG have run for years separately and together, that made millions for themselves and their developer pals, that refugees and NGOs have literally protested against for years because the system is not working and cruel.🤔

Saw this on Facebook and a woman commented that she couldn’t work out what was wrong and this seemed like the government trying to close small Irish businesses. 😱

Hurricane Melissa has left dozens of people dead and widespread destruction across Cuba, Haiti and Jamaica, where roofless homes, fallen utility poles and water-logged furniture dominate the landscape jrnl.ie/6859714

Today in genAI crochet nonsense. Someone posted a fake photo of a shawl with a chart and then someone in the comments used ChatGPT to generate a pattern for the chart.

Went for a nice walk around the Botanic Gardens today, they have a fun pumpkin competition. We visited our favourite tree the E Woodii, it seems to be in good form.

Paul really has it in for Tom. Why? Toby has just as much non macaron structure in his crates as Tom in his hive - but no critical comment on that. #gbbo

Not a huge fan of how snarky the judging is this week. The tone feels off. #GBBO

Just buy an A/C unit for the tent, you absolute psychopaths #GBBO

No shade I promise 👀 but I saw a post in a Facebook group about a kid who loves Dog Man, but his family were hoping he’d move on to “something else” because it’s “cartoon style.”
