Everyone seems to be posting food photos today
And I'm in bed with backache:
So here's my carrot cake from yesterday's large family gathering

PS went down like snuff at a wake

Awe-inspiring and exquisite

The very best toys for 3 little boys - all aged 4 - is an outside tap in the garden and a supply of water-pistols.

Luckily it was a sunny day!

I keep reading about this wonderfully-named dish.
Next time in England I must find some and try it!

Oh so fervently Yes to this!

Excellent plan.

You should be in the United Nations!

I know the grandchild is happy when I hear him singing to himself as he plays quietly in another room xx

A retired journo I know SMS'd me before and reckoned the first thing that should be grounded are the private planes of the rich and famous.

"They can catch an interstate train/plane like the rest of us. That fuel is now needed for the whole of society, not rich pricks' private jets," he said.

They are Coltsfoot, a native wildflower; the flowers appear before the leaves, a sign of Spring, often on gravelly roadsides.

I'm willing to test this hypothesis.

That is absolutely gorgeous and I WANT some !

I'm sure it would grow in Ireland...similar enough climate.

So what exactly are the Guards going to do in response to this ‘exceptional event’?

And when can we have our country back?

So many aspects of this debacle are just wild.

For example, many of the same lads who railed against Covid lockdowns are now locking down the country with unabashed glee.

Soup of the day: Tiramisu

Sorry, what now?

You want the carbon tax abolished and VAT and excise cut, but it transpires that you don’t actually pay your taxes.

Right so.

Don't you dare threaten our treasured local dish!

Not much of a pinnacle

Excellent painting of a wonderful woman.

First time ever.

A word that I did not know.
Never heard or saw it before in my life.

I wrote and posted this to Instagram a couple of days ago and it became my most-read poem ever. I’m honored I get to feel big feelings alongside you all. I’m posting it here too and want to use this space more consistently. Hello friends ❤️

Now THAT would be progress, if it happens....
Hurray for rapid public transport!
