Went to SuperValu at lunch to get stuff for tomorrow. Panic buying seemed to focus on loo roll, crisps and booze. Bit like Good Friday in the old days. Meanwhile I'm going to shelter in place with cats and cake. Do take care out there tomorrow especially if you're in the west.

Storm Éowyn: across the barricades from Norn Iron to the Republic. She knows no boundaries. We'll be panic-buying bread and loo roll in both Belfast and Dublin.

So I’m preparing to return to the gym after an absence of 8 years. I have my black gym pants. I have my gym shoes. What I don’t have is a mental defense against the tyranny of the beautiful body. I am not made of plastic, I am bumpy. Ideally I should have an aura of zen-like calm, but I am nervous

It's January 6th, Nollaig na mBan (Women's Christmas). This is the day where I put my feet up and watch my fella cook me roast shoulder of lamb followed by a Cavan Christmas Pudding and the last of the brandy butter. Want to find out more about Nollaig na mBan? www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2...

Always nice to see the feisty siskins back at the bird feeder, bringing a splash of yellow. The males have a black cap. #donegal

Looking forward to a custard-free Christmas. Highlights will include sitting by the fire draped in cats, re-reading "The Guest Cat" by Takashi Hiraide, spending time with my fella, and eating ridiculous amounts of plum pudding. See y'all in 2025!

If you're reading this, know that your life matters. Maybe you're having a rough time of it all, but you're not alone. Just waking up another day is an accomplishment, so take things one day at a time. I'm rooting for you. #positivity

Trinity have finally confirmed that Science Gallery Dublin will not reopen. The focus has been on how much of a cultural loss this is (which I agree with), but it also represents a lot of job losses in a small, struggling sector. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/educ...

With #autism, I need to curve silence around me in order to do the most basic things. When I am close to tears, faced with the mundane human tasks in this loud and jagged world. I am so bloody proud of myself for getting through each day without disaster. If this is your experience, be proud.

Sometimes I rail against the "tyranny of achievement". Big achievements are built on the small things of everyday life, and for some of us, these things can be bloody difficult and achieving them should be celebrated. Let’s recognise the #strugglesofsmallthings and our daily victories
