To coincide with the 35th anniversary of Home Alone, Macaulay Culkin stars in a new themed ad, where instead of setting traps, Kevin McCallister is making home safe for his Mom, and reunites with Old Man Marley’s granddaughter: youtu.be/9LD4lzjmjWg 🏠

Picked up these lovely salt and pepper shakers in Penneys and now I know I simply MUST have all matching accessories and in my head I’m already down €100.

I’ll be hiding in here until you give up the ridiculous idea that I’ll be taking my antibiotics…it’s not happening.

Ah no, Diane Keaton has left us. What a brilliant screen presence she was. Warm, witty and so entertaining.

Your little halloweeny cape doesn’t phase me…you fake.

Separated at birth? Daniel Craig in the promo poster for the new Knives Out and Virgin River’s Martin Henderson

When the time comes, hopefully many years from now, I’d like to be brave in my choices, to choose music that truly resonates with me and maybe even to promote a giggle or two. That’s what I hope. List of funeral favourite songs released www.rte.ie/entertainmen...

Adios Espana 🇪🇸

Youngest little person called dibs on movie night and chose The Secret Society of Second Born Royals - it’s like Quantum of Solace for pre teens but I’ll be damned - it has some pretty good plot twists.

Beautiful Donabate beach and a terrific undoing of the good of my hour long speedy walk🍦

My 13yo’s favourite movie of ALL time (so far) is ‘Father of the Bride’ and I can’t wait to introduce her to ‘Only Murders in the Building’

Sneaky Thursday evening glass of pinot outside - love these late summer evenings 🌅

I went back to my hometown for the first time in 40 years. Kevin Johnson was still hanging out in the parking lot in a denim jacket smoking a Marlboro, drinking a can of Busch beer, and listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd on his 8-Track. I immediately felt guilty for writing, "Never change" in his yearbook.

I like to watch the end credits of big Hollywood blockbusters and find the most Irish sounding names. Today it’s Dan O’Connell on ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ - I don’t know what a ‘Foley Artist’ is but good man, Dan.

Well, that was quick.

Just how tech savvy am I? When my work phone eventually stopped working, I apologetically asked the good folks in the office if I was eligible for an upgrade. “Eh, you were due a new phone in 2021”. I don’t like change.

The Undertones and The Boomtown Rats at Swords Castle 🏰 last night. One of the best gigs I’ve ever seen. As front men go, Paul McLoone and Bob Geldof are outstanding. Two amazing bands on one stage. What a night. @fingal.ie @paulmcloone.bsky.social @theboomtownrats.bsky.social

💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙 Up The Premier!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 🥇 🏆 what a game…Tipperary were outstanding!

@fingal.ie Great idea!

@roisinm.bsky.social off to the west for a few days and I have the luxury of being a passenger engrossed in ‘Life Before Us’. I’m enjoying it so much and have just wiped away tears at Alice’s kindness to Deirdre and her family. Another wonderful masterpiece, Róisín. Keep writing - it’s a real gift

Duran Duran at Malahide Castle last night - what a performance, what energy, what musicianship, what in the hell is Simon LeBon on to look and sound so amazing at 66?!

3/12/09 - loved that moment with my Dad. Miss him. Mam’s anniversary mass today also. They were such an amazing couple, I was lucky to have have them 💖💙

Whilst carrying beers to restock the green room on a talk show in the 90’s, Oliver Reed asked me “oh, are those for me?” - they weren’t.

Nothing kick starts the dealing with extra holiday lbs better than a scheduled colonoscopy 2 days after after you arrive back home.

Pretty flowers for Mam’s 3rd anniversary.

Goodbye, Salou. Till next year.

@jodipicoult.bsky.social and Jennifer Finney Boylan’s brilliant, utterly brilliant, ‘mad honey’….you will barely lift your head from the pages. Read it immediately.

Sausage Party.

I’m hoping to bring you all home some Spanish sun rays on Tuesday. It has been so lovely to wake up to sunshine everyday 🌞 could stay another month.

Throughly enjoying sitting in the garden with recent good weather. Today, I can hear a distant piano playing, conversations, laughter and instructions being delivered to neighbouring doggies. It’s like being in Hitchcock’s ‘Rear Window’ without the inconvenient broken leg and, well, murder.

I know I’m watching too much Grey’s Anatomy when I’m shouting “charge to 200” when turning on my hair straighteners in the morning.

First bloom. My late parents had an enormous rose bush in their garden for years. When the house was being sold, my green fingered father in law took a small cutting of it and tended it for me. Now I have their lovely roses in my own garden. Nature is amazing 😻

Beautiful roses which my father in law planted over 40 years ago blooming again in the garden Nature really is astounding.

IKEA do these very cute kittie cubby holes. Of course I naively bought into the ideal that Buddy would happily embrace a cosy little place among his humans…nope, he said, I prefer it here on the sofa.

The minute I take out the patio furniture and @patriciascanlan.bsky.social City Girls Forever for a good oul read and relax, the sun goes in 🙄

Happy Caturday, friends! #NationalPoetryMonth

There are not enough Fairy Non Bio Pods in the world for my after work plans this week….

Balbriggan looking lovely today 😎

Ok…here goes: 1. Oliver Reed 2. Graham Norton 3. The Cookie Monster 4. Robbie Keane 5. Eddie Izzard

G&T, Grey’s Anatomy and kitty company…perfect evening.

I have GOT to stop binging on Grey’s Anatomy…I am in immediate danger of booking direct flights to Seattle. @aerlingus.bsky.social

Nancy By Ernie Bushmiller April 1,1946

When I was an angsty teen, a good friend introduced me to the genius Bill Hicks, Pearl Jam and this little ditty which I can still sing word perfect without reaching for my glasses to read the lyrics. What a time it was. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Urgp...

While I’m wishing a happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my own Mam, my girls have made an extra special fuss of me today. I am very lucky and grateful 🙏🏻 wishing all the ladies here and their mothers, mothers in law and godmothers a good day 💐

Mother’s Day gift from the girls. Hints work!

Love this idea.

Me: Happy St. Patrick's day! My snake roommate:...Wow. Me: Sorry, I didn't thin- Snake roommate:-It's *fine*.

Always give a book a second chance. If I’m 50 pages in and not enjoying it, I’ll take a break and go another 50 and then if it’s not for me, I’ll pass it onto someone else for their opinion. I absolutely hated ‘The Talented Mr. Ripley’ first time around but glad I gave that another go.
