Cherry, either mid yawn or very surprised.

Of course Fifa have to give their poster boy Ronaldo a helping hand. Just like they lifted his suspension for the red card against Ireland.

Any idea what the organisation is behind this? presumably some racist eejits. Seen in Clondalkin Village.

America have to bring military and war into fucking everything. It's the World Cup for fuck sake.

Gwan the Congo!!!!

Not a bad haul from the charity shop in Clondalkin today for €6.

Grand Canal Dock, Dublin this evening.

Seen in the jacks of Cassidys Westmoreland Street, Dublin.

Silicon Docks seagull.

Nice auld view across from Blackrock DART station this evening on my lithium wanderings.

My sentiments exactly.

Cherry is feeling a bit sorry for herself today. Mainly because I've inadvertently allowed her favorite Felix treats run out, and she's had to make do with the Dunnes knock off version.

Quetiapene and zopiclone are a scarily efficient combo for falling asleep and staying asleep, bravo my GP. The only downsides are that I feel like a dizzy zombie for 2 hours when I wake up, and the strange metallic zopiclone aftertaste in my mouth. Still, better than manic high or lows I suppose.

Ominous auld sky from Ticknock overlooking the Poolbeg Towers and Dublin Bay. What a difference a day or two makes.

Glossy AI propaganda in the Irish Times today from Google. I'm sure they're just looking out for our best interests.

Memorial ceremony to mark the 30th anniversary of the murder of crime journalist Veronica Guerin in Clondalkin, Dublin. Lovely speeches and music by all involved.

Lovely plaque on the pier in Dun Laoghaire.

Cherry is hot and annoyed. I know the feeling.

I have no idea what this is, but it's making an almighty racket at Newlands Cross on the one night I decided to sleep with my window open!

Bus didn't show, so treated myself to a pint in The Palace. I needed a small mortgage to pay for it, but it is very nice in fairness.

Cherry has the entire couch and two cat beds, but chooses to sleep on the remote control.

Cherry wants some of my dinner. If I give her some, she'll flick it with her paw and not eat it. It's an endless game. Such a mysterious creature.

Wee Cherry striking a pose!

Met this beautiful wee kitten at the bus stop. She decided to sit between my feet and wouldn't budge til the bus arrived.

Would you like to see red squirrels return to the parks and gardens of Dublin and Wicklow? We are carrying out a feasibility study on the landscape scale control of the invasive grey squirrel. Have your Say here: biodiversityireland.ie/grey-squirre...

A yawn from Wee Cherry. I'm sick of this weather too!

Slight rainbow over Newlands Cross in Dublin.

Annoyed Cherry. She knows I have just eaten some cheese and she's missed out.

My memoir, A Mind Of My Own is now available in paperback which means it’s cheaper. Hurrah! If you’d like a dedicated copy repost this and I’ll do a random pick of five winners in the next couple of days. If you’ve already bought/read or listened to the audible version thank you! ♥️📚

I love American pharmaceutical TV adverts. The Idea of asking a medical professional for a medication I've seen on ad break is amazing to me.

Cool street art on a cabinet out in Lambs Cross, Dublin.

Great night at Stewart Lee vs The Man Wulf in the Olympia in Dublin. Also, well done to the brilliant usher who caught an annoying lad in front of us filming the finale.

Rainbow over Dublin.

Hard life for wee Cherry.

Magpie is taunting wee Cherry, a dangerous game!

Moved up to 300mg effexor / venlafaxine two days ago and feeling slightly stoned and arms/legs have a weird tingling sensation. The random side effects of antidepressants & antipsychotics continue.

Poor Cherry is not a fan of the heat.

200mg Seroquel is kicking my pale arse at the moment. It's like walking around in a fog most of the day, a fog that also makes you annoyingly forgetful. Hopefully it settles down soon. I can't afford to keep losing keys, sunglasses and bank cards to Dublin Bus seats!

Lovely little rabbit up in Corkagh Park in Dublin this evening. He seemed to be palling round with the magpie too!

This lovely wee fella in Corkagh Park cafe, Dublin has had enough of the afternoon heat. He'd a bowl of ice water soon after.

Coast Guard helicopter over Dublin from Ticknock.

Nice walk out in Dun Laoghaire. These gorgeous little starlings finagled me out of most of my post pier walk 99 cone.

Photos on my phone from wandering Dublin and home last few weeks. 1) Christchurch, after a few lovely winter pints in the Lord Ed across the road. 2). Sharps bin in the bathroom of KFC, Westmoreland Street. 3) Christmas carnival thing in Smithfield. 4) Neighbours cat spying on me.

Poor auld Wiggles relaxing after a feed of ham and my ma's new favourite t-shirt.

Auld Naples looking well yesterday evening. Nice change from Dublin for a few days!

Join your union! Find your colleagues in workplaces around Ireland all week to learn why you're #BetterInATradeUnion Dublin City Council have especially good merch and cupcakes today 🤩

A lot of organisations there need to think long and hard about this. You wouldn't have an account on Truth Social, so why do you still have one there?

Another car-free summer is set to kick off in Dublin. Last August the first phase of the Dublin City Transport Plan banned private cars from parts of the city resulting in in a "substantial and sustained" reduction in traffic and an increase in bus journeys. buff.ly/ALuwR5x #ShareGoodNewsToo
