Haven't logged in here for a while. Reluctant to leave the other shithole... feel that some of us have to keep the lights on! Has this place caught on, or was it just a fleeting thing???

I chatted with @maiadunphy.bsky.social for this weekend's Q&A in The Irish Times. www.irishtimes.com/life-style/p...

London calling! ❤️

You’d swear his Grandad had been away for months! ❤️

Not my typical Wednesday! #HouseOfPadelDublin ❤️

So effortlessly funny, and so goddamn handsome. I was obsessed with Whose Line for years, and completely besotted with #TonySlattery 💔 m.youtube.com/watch?v=f3Ke...

A triumph! ❤️

Pray for me, told Tom we’d fit LED lights into the Concorde before wall mounting it. 😫😫😫

A good New Year’s resolution too. Kids are an awful waste of time. m.youtube.com/watch?v=VFGP...

Controversial Craven lighting the touch paper again.

“Hope you feel rested after Christmas?” Me:

New season kicks off tonight! #DWTSIRL

2024 was not a 'rollercoaster'. At best, it was a rusty swing that eventually collapsed, injuring several children. The owner of the swing will never be prosecuted, because that would be antisemetic. But a new swing will be installed in 2031 at a cost of €4.7 billion.

Resolutions: are they ever a good idea? Had this exact same experience with crisps a few years ago.

For someone who ADORES the magic of Christmas and the December run up, I can’t get the tree down fast enough after new year.

There is something quite satisfying and quietly smug about being up early and unhungover on New Year’s Day. 😜❤️ (Full disclosure: the last time I went out on NYE was in my early 20’s. Very quickly worked out it was not for me….).

Happy Christmas everyone! And if it’s not your bag, or you just need to get through it, it’ll be tomorrow soon. X

Christmas begins in earnest! 🥰🎄 #StellaCinema

Fostering this beautiful old girl! We love her already. ❤️

I think it’s worth sharing a few of Tom’s moves from today’s Christmas play. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I did this piece in Saturday’s Independent ostensibly to bring people’s attention to pancreaticcancerireland.ie , but also managed to get the words “bejewelled penis” into the newspaper. I’m all about the light and shade. ❤️

Something very peaceful about having a church completely to yourself. Popped in to light a candle in the midst of a very busy day. ❤️

You can send two hundred Christmas cards, but make no mistake, the first one you receive will be from someone you didn't send one to.

I mean… ❤️🎄

The Winter sun finally came out! ❤️🎄

Forget Brat summer, we’re in our Bratwurst winter phase. 😜❤️🎄

I’ve found Ryanair staff’s attitude has greatly improved over the last number of years, but it’s good to see whoever had been training them in rudeness wasn’t out of a job and went straight to Zara. 👍🏻

Are the notifications fierce slow for everyone here?

Merrion Square #DublinWinterLights . Virtually had the entire place to ourselves this eve. ❤️🎄

Doing up my CV...

I only buy things when I need to now, haven’t bought a pair of boots in a decade. Went to a load of shoe shops, and most boots made me look like a background Gestapo extra in an am-dram Sound of Music. Then I found THESE in #CarlScarpa 👌🏻👌🏻

It’s quite the dramatic protest.

With all the talk of Notre Dame reopening her doors soon, I’m here to tell you it happened already, earlier today! These two cuties finished the build! 🤣🥰

❤️🎄

People asking why no one complained about Gregg Wallace before, it’s hard for junior staff to speak up, and often meant they wouldn’t be hired next time. I don’t know what Wallace did or said, but it’s pretty clear from the widespread schadenfreude that he’s not a popular chap.

Not a fan of photos at the best of times, but Timehop just threw up my favourite EVER shoot! Can’t believe it’s 8 yrs ago! Tom was teeny, I was tired but Image and Oliver Pearce made me look like this! 🥰❤️

Ridley Scott had apparently considered introducing APCOA as an antagonist in Gladiator II, but decided they were too evil. 🤣 www.newstalk.com/podcasts/hig...

Miss my Mum more than ever at this time of year. She adored Christmas, and even more once Tom arrived. Can't believe we're approaching the third December without her. 😢❤️

One of my favourite EVER threads… 🥰

You made the nice list Maia. Sharing your holiday spirit spreads anticipation and joy to the world. Happy holidays 🎅🏻

Love is… 🥰

I know this seems to be a common thing at the moment, but I really am undecided on who I’ll be voting for. #election24

Never too old for the box! ❤️🥰

McGregor is such a disappointing human being isn’t he? Imagine the kind of man he could have been with the level of success he had? He could still have been a bit of a rogue and all those old laddish tropes, but he could have done so much for his community & led his fans in a better way. 😞

A good motto for life…

Peter Dooley put not 1, but 3 leaflets into my letter box, and the photo looks like a movie poster for a romcom where the main character is a loveable rogue who can’t decide between 2 women, but then realises he needs to work on himself first and goes off to help street dogs.

Slow cooker on early today! ❤️
