Have been resisting cutting the grass every day as the garden is full of clover and bees. It's a lovely sight.

On Juneteenth and forever…

Honor, don’t bury or whitewash the history of our ancestors who were lynched.

Nope, I did ordinary level and had Peig. Maybe it's an age thing, I don't think it has been on the curriculum for quite a while 😊.

Weak, and not gonna work.

I believe I am wearing each and everyone one of those 18 years on my face 😜

Today, instead of spending precious cash on take away coffee, my 18 yr old daughter made a flask of coffee to take to the library. How quickly she has transcended childhood and moved into middle age 😆! #proud

Wonderful courage and obstinacy! Sending you best wishes and support from Dublin, Ireland.

1 million cars sold every year too big to park; as car owners back higher SUV charges to fix potholes Around 4.6 million cars have been sold in the UK that are bigger than a typical urban car parking space since 2021 - more than 1.2 million a year, with numbers growing, according to researchers at Cle...

They're also the cause of a huge cost to the taxpayer. There is no reason for their existence, horrible yokes that they are.

Intriguing, need to give it a go today!

This is great news, you are very welcome to Dublin!

That is fantastic, thanks for spotting it, I might have missed it. Wow, this is real. Great stuff.

Expressed far more humourously that I was going to attempt and fail to do...😀

I've a good pal in Philly and I want him to be happy!

Didn't realise Larry schilled for them 😕

I've seen this film so many times, and I'll watch it again tonight. Each time, it makes me so angry and incredibly sad. Great performances from Judy Dench and Steve Coogan.

Great piece Colm, I LOVE a good musical pilgrimage! Reminds me of the time early 90's when I convinced a dubious partner to get the tram with me from the city centre out to the Dukla Prague stadium 😀
Martin McAloon did a start turn at Liberty Hall recently and it was a great night.

The man had pristine taste!

I got the last couple of tickets for the Waterford how, it's gonna be an absolute pleasure to see you in my hometown. Best wishes with the tour!

Not gonna make a habit of it, the early morning soup making that is.

Why stay in bed with a Sat morning headache when you can be up making soup and listening to @liliansmith.bsky.social 😊🤧

🤣

Sure, when are you ever on the northside? This is around the corner from Seren's old school, so I had the pleasure of seeing it every day for many years. It's a beuaty!

I thought that series was really excellent, and the parallels are staring us in the face! Another good one was the Turning Point series about the Bomb and the Cold War. Takes in WWII too, so it fits nicely into your newborn watching criteria 🙂

We're dog sitting this gorgeous boy for the week, and even though he won't give the ball back to his brother, we still love him! #dog #dogsitting

Also the Bad Moves album, power pop goodness. Possibly my fave album of the year!
