I don't know what I'm going to do with myself when I finish this #cross-stitch piece. Been at it for over 2 years now! #craftsky #spéirgorm

Israeli forces have taken command of a charity vessel that had tried to break a naval blockade of Gaza, and the boat with its crew of 12 including activist Greta Thunberg is now heading to a port in Israel, officials have said

Israel dropped chemicals on Madleen humanitarian ship in international waters, then rammed the boat and kidnapped the people on board. They then share footage of them giving bottles of water and sandwiches to them! #Madleen #speirgorm

These beauties were kinda lost in the wilderness that is currently my garden. So I picked them to enjoy while they last. #spéirgorm #peonies #Gardening #flowers

I know she wants something, but I'm mystified as to what it is! She's had her own dinner, some of my leftovers, a treat, a chew on her bone, been for a wee .... ???? #dogsofbluesky

Gin. The mature woman's drink, and sometimes the only option after one of those days. #spéirgorm #takingtothedrink

I'm ridiculously happy with this little piece I finished today. I've been saving this piece of driftwood for years for the 'right' project .... and this is it!! A gift for my daughter..I hope she likes it! #craftsky #spéirgorm #inismeáin #stainedglass

I'm not sure how much more of this #RTEInvestigates I can watch without bursting a blood vessel 😡 "Christian" Brothers??? I don't think so. #spéirgorm

An ice cream at sunset with my best doggo. On a quick road trip taking in Dromod, Lough Key, Streedagh and Strandhill. Got lucky with the weather!! #roadtrip #spéirgorm

The absolute irony of holding an "anti immigration" rally in a country with a general diaspora of 70 million! Even considering the smaller 3 million Irish emigrant passport holders it is disgusting. When it comes to migration we Irish do it better than almost anyone. 😡 #spéirgorm #emigrantnation

Will someone please tell me why I, an atheist all my adult life, am watching the Pope's funeral?? #spéirgorm #catholicguilt #fearofthenuns

I've just signed this petition to show my support for Kneecap in the face of abuse for their pro-Palestinian activism. Will you sign too? my.uplift.ie/petitions/we... @uplift-ireland.bsky.social

A burst of colour on a grey day. #springblooms #spéirgorm

40 Shades. Definitely. There is something about rain and grey skies that make the greens just shine! #spéirgorm #40shadesofgreen

#tablescaping Give me strength!! Can we not just set the bloody table. I had to turn off the radio @newstalkfm.bsky.social #spéirgorm #notions

Mmmmm 😋😋 Just out of the oven, a lovely rich boiled fruit cake is yer only man on a wet afternoon! Should be good to go later when it's cooler with a nice cuppa after dinner. #spéirgorm #baking #fruitcake

The Pipster living her best life on Inis Meáin #spéirgorm #dogsofbluesky #beachlife #aranislands

Ah she loves me all the same ❤️❤️ #spéirgorm #dogsofbluesky

I want and need to go to bed but I'm too banjaxed to get off the couch 😴

So this morning it's maurading sheep! Pulled the patio curtains to let doggo out for a wee, only to find this ewe & 2 lambs. Escapees from across the hedge. They've eaten my camellia & were about to launch into my over-wintered broccoli!! #spéirgorm #sheepofbluesky

There is no corner of my house, garden or shed that this hound will not pursue me to once there is a whiff of a ham sandwich!! #spéirgorm #dogsofbluesky

Right. Out. On the streets. Everyone. EVERYONE. #spéirghorm #protest

Pippin not enamoured with my choice of lunch 🤣 Not a big fan ol salads ... tho she did sniff out my nice buttered ciabatta and wangle a few hunks!! #spéirgorm #dogsofbluesky PS apologies for any typos, too lazy to go get my specs!!

From shaggy furball this morning to svelte doggo this afternoon! #spéirgorm #dogsofbluesky #haircuts

Also, could a few creche workers not be rounded up to put manners on them. They're well used to temper tantrums, rows over whose turn to use the crayons & skilled in the use of the naughty step. A few threats with a wooden spoon wouldn't go amiss either. 😡 #spéirgorm #Dáilshambles

Is there any mechanism to dock the pay of these clowns who seem more interested in shouting the odds than running the country! #spéirgorm #Dáilshambles

This is a dog in serious danger of being mistaken for a sheep round these parts!! Haircut booked for Thursday!! #spéirgorm #dogsofbluesky
