A beautiful and soothing night at Max Richter's 'Sleep' at Alexandra Palace. Having missed the original concerts, I was delighted to make it to the 10th anniversary show 🎶 🌛 💤

Blimey, BBC Four, what have we done to deserve this? Next Wednesday 30 July, the late evening schedule is devoted to THREADS and THE WAR GAME, two of the most horrifying and bleakly depressing films ever made. There will be documentaries, too. Get the snacks in!

Delicious dinner with @sineadnico.bsky.social and the Ma in the newly opened Kombu restaurant in Galway. Gorgeous spot, so friendly, food 100%! So. Full.

Breakfast al fresco in a sweltering Paris 🥐 ☕️

'Don't mind if I do,' says Mr. M to a nibbly bit. @sineadnico.bsky.social

Just out of Lisa Hannigan in Shannonbridge. Fabulous gig - so mellow and beautiful, with strings and harmonies 😍 🎶

What a treat! A front row seat to see the magnificent Audra McDonald as Mama Rose in Gypsy on Broadway 🎶 🎭

Yay! Tickets secured for a night of some snoozing and music @ismiseleenie.bsky.social @maxrichtermusic.bsky.social 💤🌛🎵

Gorgeous sunset...

Dawn walk at Lough Boora to hear the birdies

Jazz OTD: Billie Holiday created one of the defining, immortal moments of 20th-century music with the debut recording of Abel Meeropol's song "Strange Fruit" on April 20, 1939. Still haunting and deeply moving nearly 90 years later. #jazzsky

Someone is looking very handsome today #cats #seniorcat

Tune in to @8radioireland.bsky.social from 10 - 12 for lots of mellow tunes, including a #Severance screen trio 🎶 🐐 📯

Not to give any spoilers from the finale, but just to say I do love how completely odd as fuck #Severance is...

A beautifully light and buttery lemon cake drenched in lemon syrup #baking #bakingsky

Tomato and herb bread - recipe from Odlums. Super-easy to make and delicious! #baking #bakingsky

Homemade ricotta made with lovely local milk from Boora Bainne...

Just out of Dr. Strangelove on stage. Absolutely brilliant. Amazing cast, led by a fantastic Steve Coogan playing four roles. SO funny and very sharp. Loved it! Can't go wrong with @aiannucci.bsky.social

Nothing like the buttery, almondy smell of financiers just out of the oven... #baking

It's been a busy day for Mr M... #cats

Bank Holiday baking! Vanilla madeleines with a light lemon glaze and edible cornflower petals #baking

Lá Fhéile Bríde and the first day of Spring. Slán and good riddance, Eanáir!

Just received the most gorgeous wood handcarving that I commissioned from David Robinson, a wonderful master carver in Scotland. This little otter will hang on the wall in my hallway. I love the water ripples around him and the wee tail sticking up! More of David's work is on davidrobinsondesign.com

Fabulous weather for the first day of the year. Perfect for a wander down the Grand Canal...

So sad to hear this. Where else to see the same range of indie and arthouse films, not to mention classics like The Red Shoes? All my sympathy with the staff. A real loss for the whole region.

It's not Christmas until Hans Gruber falls off a building! At the movies with @ismiseleenie.bsky.social #yippeekiyay #welcometothepartypal

#Homemade apple caramels - made by boiling down apple juice before adding cream, butter, sugar, and salt. I popped macademia nuts in half of them. Chewy, rich, and delicious - and so easy to make! #milseáin

Your husband's a wrong 'un luv! Watching the 1940 version of Gaslight with @sineadnico.bsky.social as we hide from the rubbish weather...

It's still blowing a storm outside, so @ismiseleenie.bsky.social and I are in the cosiness with a classic movie and takeaway... 🎬

Cracking up at my #Spotify listening for the year. Top tune - Blue Monday '88. Top artist - Talking Heads. Down with the kids and up to the moment, that's me!

Experimenting with my apple butter. Tweaked one of my favourite @nigella.bsky.social recipes (for salted caramel and bourbon ice-cream) to make salted caramel and apple butter ice-cream with a good glug of calvados, for extra appleyness 🍎🍏 #homemade #icecream #uachtarreoite @nytcooking.bsky.social

This weekend's cooking project - #homemade apple butter, with lots of cinnamon and ginger. From @nytcooking.bsky.social's recipe...

Pay attention to meeeeeeeee... #meow #seniorkitty #cats

Baked some chocolate crinkle and salted chocolate chip cookies for a fundraiser last night #bakingsky #homemade #baking

Did a knife skills course yesterday and only stabbed one of my fingers with my very sharp knives (present to myself from my holidays in Tokyo) #cooking #ooops 👩‍🍳🔪

Friday afternoon nap... #kittycat #snoozycat

Some snaps from the Northern Lights, around Clonmacnoise and my gaff, last night... #aurora
