Got the first line of washing outside this year on a glorious day with a nice breeze and a few fluffy clouds. Then 14 fecking minutes later it pisses out of the heavens. Ireland your a c€&nt. @carlowweather.bsky.social

This mural in our local park is a tribute to the late Delorus from the Cranberries, however, and no disrespect to the artist, I think it’s Kat Slater. 👀

So I wanted to try #painting so I’m giving painting by numbers a try to get a flavour of how it all works. My first attempt is not postable but learning as we go. Wish me luck.

Incredibly proud to be a part of this superb voluntary group. Essential in rural Ireland. www.rte.ie/news/leinste...

Even though I only live 50mins from the Sally Gap, today was my first time there. It didn’t disappoint and it snowed too.

I just signed it and so should you (EU pals)

Watch out for this scammer. I’ve reported and it’s seems to have disappeared.

Wordle 1,307 4/6 🟩🟩⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Well, that was weird.

3.5k piece puzzle that almost has me beaten. Miniature knock off lego, and I mean miniature. This feckers ears has cost me 4 hours and still have to go back to scratch. Any engineers willing to help.

What a find in a charity shop. The funniest book title I have seen in a long time. I need to find its companion now. #catsanddogs

Latest long update on Friday night. youtu.be/LBa-v-YSAWs

Jayzuz, the pre-gig warm up pints are only savage. 😍. Happy New year all.

New Year’s Eve 2022, 10.30pm. Just warming up.

This time tomorrow night I will have rang in the new year and entertained (I hope) all the patrons in The Gap pub, Ballythomas, Co Wexford alongside my band mate Tom, for the 13th time in 14 years (-1 Covid). I’m gonna wish all on here a happy, safe, prosperous and peaceful new year early.

Happy Christmas all.

Old school.

Sure why not. 😍

Spent most of yesterday and today minding a friend who was determined to do away with himself. He was determined. Depression, deep and unfathomable. His poor wife reached out to me for support. He is now in hospital at the mercy of Irelands mental health system. Light a candle and hug your loved. ❤️🙏

My Ma is livid that people will now opt out of listing a family members passing to save on funeral expenses, & will render the site [email protected] should rethink this and run ads for florists, funeral directors, carpenters, digger drivers etc instead to monetise it. #rip.ie

I never knew this view of the station existed until tonight, having passed it a million times in daylight or by car. Luck had it that when collecting my daughter from work I needed a thousand steps to hit my goal, I happened upon it. It has its own natural vignette.

Choo Choo. #gorey

Nearly there, think a glass of red is in order. 🍾

Cooking for TEN adults at home tonight. Full Xmas dinner, starters and desserts. Never cooked for that many before. I may have over done it on the veg, I just don’t know. 🤷 5kg Turkey 3kg ham 3kg Spuds 2kg Carrots 1kg Parsnips 0.5kg Sprouts 1kg Stuffing Will this be enough??? #Christmasparty

Saturday morning 8am update and #StormDarragh still bringing strong winds. Winds will only slow ease and Orange warning in place until 10am. Over 400,000 without power and the restoration time estimates are not accurate at present as ESB will update them as they assess the damage.
