Creatives! It's the last day to appeal the upcoming AI legislation. The website is here: ipoconsultations.citizenspace.com/ipo/consulta... and the key bit is the section below. TICK OPTION 1. Strengthen copyright! Option 3 - which the government prefer - is no good for us.

Mondays. Not always an easy day to find food on the highways and byways, but the lovely crew in The Blackberry café in #Thomastown will have you sat, fed and caffeinated almost before you realise just how lucky you are to pop in on that one moment when a table was free. #CoKilkenny

Lemon drizzle cake from #TheIrishBakery by Cherie Denham and Kitty Corrigan (Montgomery Press, £27) With extra lemon icing, because the baker - aka the Small Girl - decided that there's no such thing as too much lemon. Beautiful texture, flavour and, according to SG, an easy to follow recipe.

Coffee time. Always superb #flatwhites at O'Neill Coffee . Plus a dense, rich spiced carrot cake with delicious cream cheese squiggle. Also, always good reading: Jim Hoffman's brilliant #HowtoMaketheBestCoffeeatHome.

The Hodmedods GF mix, a mixture of UK-grown oat groats and flakes, split fava beans, carlin beans, all kinds of peas and lentils, makes an incredible soup. An overnight soak, some aromatics braised in olive oil, a spoonful of harissa & some diced homemade preserved lemon: the best lunchtime bowlful.

First listen - all 30 hours of it! - to an oft-read and much-loved book from my teens. Slightly different perspective all these years later, though... #JillyCooper

This. Libraries are incredible! Also, as an author, the Public Lending Right means that I get a (very!) small payment every time my book is borrowed from a library.

I was privileged to attend one of these ceremonies a couple of years ago when the Kiwi became an Irish citizen. It was a wonderful - and moving - celebration of how diversity can enrich a country. Congratulations to our new citizens! www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

If it's (almost) #ValentinesDay, it's time to visit Praline Pastry & Chocolate. After hearing that people were almost coming to blows over the heart-shaped treats at the #Mitchelstown café, I had to pop in & snaffle the last two red velvet cupcakes. (They'll be stocked up again for tomorrow 😉)

Having the Small Girl learning home economics is fun - especially when she brings freshly baked soda bread home from school, tucked up in tinfoil and still warm from the oven - and also funny, when she tells me that (according to her teacher) I'm eating too much butter on said bread.
