Love take-away from Umi Falafel to make Monday feel less mundane. I order online then my husband collects it. You can do it too, but without my husband. #corkcity

Oh one of my favorite products and a wonderful talk about the styles of preservation and production of it. Wonderful

No trolling, just sharing a glimpse into everyday life here in Cork, Ireland. Iā€™ll admit, I donā€™t usually buy eggs at Tesco, I get them from Cork Poultry & Game in the English Market. But on a Sunday of a bank holiday weekend if I want to make pancakes, Iā€™vee bought eggs here.

It took me almost decade, but I finally visited the Barack Obama Plaza in County Tipperary. Have you been yet?

Hidden gem for breakfast in #corkcity Irelandā€¦ in the K. oā€™Connellā€™s spot in the basement of Dunnes on Patrickā€™s Street. Iā€™ve gone twice now and it is one of the best breakies. Today, got a ready-made meal to pop in my fridge for tonight.

This morning on a wide path by a busy road, Iā€™m walking along. Look down to check a text and in spite of being the only person walking on that stretch, a man walked quickly toward me and passed so close he heavily brushed my shoulder and arm going past me. Felt oddly aggressive. Why?

Brunch at Joeā€™s & Bros (Gillabbey Street, Cork City) can brighten any day. #brunchcork

Dear Trans, NB & other LGBTQ Americans. I have been asked how you might escape from the fascist regime. I donā€™t have all the answers, but there are two possible routes for some to move to Ireland, where your rights are protected by law & the European Convention on Human Rights. #LGBTQ

Just an FYI - if you didn't know about this. The Booker Prizes website contains a treasure trove of articles covering a multitude of bookish topics. Some really fabulous and insightful posts šŸ‘Œ thebookerprizes.com/the-booker-l... šŸ’™šŸ“š #booksky

As always, brilliant food at Bayou (Cork City). And would it even be Cork if I didnā€™t run into someone I knew? Lately, I find lunch dates much easier for our schedules and we can run our weekend errands while out. What do you have planned this weekend?

I didnā€™t speak loud enough during my religion class presentation. Professor gave me a lower grade and criticized my ā€˜voiceā€™ in front of the class. I had laryngitis, asked to delay it and she said no, so I drank very warm honeyed tea for an hour beforehand trying to get my voice back to no avail.

PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT "HOSTILE GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER" WILL BE AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE SOON!! @veryveryvinny.bsky.social and I will also be releasing the EDM remix!!! LETS GOOOOOOOO

@jo-anna-d.bsky.social Hiiiiiiiiiiiii there, Jo!!!

Libraries are great for the books, sure, but it's also nice to have a quiet and safe space to sit and think- a place where no one is trying to sell you anything.

Ireland! We need just 1,483 ppl who are Irish nationals to sign this EU petition to initiate a ban on LGBTQ conversion therapy* across the EU. The UN considers such ā€˜therapyā€™ to be mental torture. #SpeirGorm Please sign & share with all EU citizens that you know: eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#...

Enjoyed a lovely lunch at Don Gregorioā€™s on Washington Street. Hereā€™s how it wentā€¦ #corkcity

We celebrated Orla McAndrewā€™s book launch at Lavit Gallery on Saturday. ā€˜Larderā€™ is the latest title under the Blasta Books imprint. Illustrations by Nicky Hooper. @blastabooks.bsky.social

My friends, I put together a list of interesting & important accounts. They cover nature, science, LGBTQ rights, art, museums, history & other accounts I think are the business bsky.app/profile/did:...

I popped into Azure Jewellery on Georgeā€™s Quay to get ideas for what I should whisper into my husbandā€™s phone for Valentineā€™s Day.

January wrap-up with all the places I ate and shopped when I remembered to capture video. I spent a few days in Dublin and back in Cork I shopped for jewellery to celebrate my big birthday year. Two new dining spots opened in Cork City: Don Gregorio & The Stamp Room.

I post a lot more on Instagram Pretty videos and updates. www.instagram.com/brunchcork

5 ways to celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth (cause the fed govt doesnā€™t run your house) 1. Find out what Sojourner Truth REALLY said 2. Buy a Black horror, scifi or fantasy book 3. Listen to ā€œNaimaā€ by John Coltrane 4. Send the victims of the LA fires in Altadena a few coins 5. Get a library card

Discretely nestled upstairs in Seventy-Seven Cork, The Stamp Room welcomed us to its launch night this week with cosy and warm tones, architectural character, and a unique menu of cocktails and light bites. #corkcity #brunchcork

I'm sometimes asked what's the best value wine in ALDI. Not an easy question! But I do think this Beaujolais cru is right up there, so fragrant and so right for the appellation. It's ā‚¬12.99. Try finding a Fleurie anywhere else for that! (I'm obliged to add: #ad)

Iā€™m celebrating a big milestone birthday this year and treating myself to special moments & gifts along the way. With Valentineā€™s around the corner, I wanted to share one of the sparkly presents I surprised myself with. This is from Belle Jewellery in #corkcity
