My fella is a terrier. He not only has many many words but he also has mind control powers. He mostly uses these powers to convince me to take naps (a word he also knows)

Oh no! I had similar last year which led to a thing needing to be done. Hopefully you’re sorted 🤞

Definitely the dog kept me sane (ish). I’m not as social as I used to be and I do need alone time but when I clocked 100 days by myself it was pretty hard. Thankfully Teddy did something that made me laugh every day

At this age I’m going to the gym to have energy. Unfortunately all the energy is used up at the gym.

He also learned to play the piano at a late age

Evergreen reminder: If you've enjoyed an indie book, a simple review across platforms can really do wonders for it. It helps provide legitimacy and helps other readers! It doesn't have to be a multi-paragraph essay, just a simple, "I liked this for these reasons!" is great.

I liked that it’s very sciency science fiction. It also becomes increasingly stressful. My poor nerves!

IBTS appeal for blood donations as stocks low The Irish Blood Transfusion Service (IBTS) is asking blood donors to attend donation clinics this week, as blood stocks are very low after the bank holiday weekend.

Never heard that exclamation. The stress!

A guy is at the gym and he remembers something so he speaks to his watch and says “hey Máire, look up recipes for…” as if saying hey Alexa or hey Siri

It is weird having a name that unusual in your generation. It’s the Irish form of Mary so it’s a known name, but it’s actually rare to meet one of us. Which is probably why I’m finding the new Bord Bia ads so perturbing share.google/JfEfHRapooxv...

Listening to @yrfatfriend.bsky.social on @sofiehagen.bsky.social ‘s podcast and reminded of the time I went to buy a harness for my dog and the sales person suggested I’d want the green harness rather than the burgundy one I was holding because that was for girls.

what’s the matter, you’ve barely touched your easter potato

I’m crying

To be clear, if I was a judge on this show I’d walk into every house going “wow this house is so clean. I’ll give it a 10” … maybe not riveting viewing!

This week on Home of the year, Hugh is distressed by a floor, Amanda is disturbed by a hallway and Siobhan wishes those chairs were a different colour. I’m still wondering where they keep all their dust and clutter.

What I learned from this week’s Home of the Year

1. There’s too much colour
2. There’s not enough colour
3. You haven’t thought enough about every little thing
4. You’ve thought too much about every little thing
5. Everywhere should have more lamps

I have yearned for the spring sunlight but now it’s here I’m just cursing it for showing up all the dirt that’s been hidden all winter!

I’d say he was my favourite if Cyclone hadn’t captured my whole heart!

I love how in a relatively short time Cyclone has become such force on #gladiators

Did Legend say he was going home to watch Bargain Hunt? #gladiators

Oooh

The most Irish thing you can do today is shout for a free Palestine

He’s so good at the acting, it could be him!

Like living in a hotel room!

Yeah. The home they actually live in. Honestly I can’t get my head round having a home where everything is actually fixed, let alone uncluttered. I reckon it’s all done with smoke and mirrors

It’s so hard. But I love my clutter!!

Has to be

I have so many feelings watching home of the year. But mostly I wonder where the entrants hide their clutter. I refuse to believe people live without clutter!
