My dentist said today she'd read my story in the Irish Country Magazine a few months ago! I had no idea. Really pleased & celebrating with a strawberry cake. ICM will kindly send me a copy but I need to tell them which issue. Anyone here has 2026 issues and would be happy to look pls? #speirghorm

Loved #TheOdyssey... possibly the greatest story of all time beautifully told on screen. #christophernolan
New door wreath by the very talented Tara in White Dove. I love going to her gorgeous shop in Wickham Way. Pop in if you're around, you won't regret it. I particularly love the dried artichoke in the wreath 😍
Patti Smith was incredible in King Johns Castle. What a gig, total legend. Thank you @dolanslimerick.bsky.social for bringing the arts to the city. 🙏 #PattiSmith #Limerick
Saw the #WilliamBlake exhibition in @nationalgalleryirl.bsky.social Would've enjoyed more Blake but what was there was stunning and the exhibiting is beautifully curated. Finished on 19 July, well worth catching. #Dublin #Art #loveart
After Margaret Atwood on my Kindle I'm moving on to paper and my first Erica James. Gifted to me by a friend from a writers group I was part of, as the perfect summer read. #amreading #booksky 📚
#JamesTaylor with @tomtdowling.bsky.social at Iveagh Gardens tonight was epic. Shower the ones you love with love. ❤️
This looks sad. I don't know about trees, do they need to be cut right back like this? Or were the leaves, sap, twigs & droppings a nuisance to the cars in this council offices car park to the machines standing under it?
Nice view from my morning train in South Dublin. The sun was just breaking through. I wish I lived closer to the sea 🌊 💙
But now they drift on the still water, Mysterious, beautiful; Among what rushes will they build, By what lake's edge or pool Delight men's eyes when I awake some day To find they have flown away? (WB Yeats, from The Wild Swans At Coole) #poetry #wbyeats #swans #speirghorm
Finally some #bluesky in the west of Ireland.. Hopefully summer will be back soon. #speirghorm
Reading sorted for the weekend. My copy of @mslexia.bsky.social arrived today. The Survey looks gorgeous in it. 💚
Beyond proud that my short story The Survey is part of @mslexia.bsky.social issue 110! I wanted to write about female solidarity between generations and across boundaries that are more felt than firmly staked out. Hopefully that comes through. 🙏 #booksky #litfic
Celebrating my story The Survey being published in @mslexia.bsky.social today. A dream come true. 🙏🥳💚

Nearly 16 euro in one of our locals... here to watch #LEIvsRCT gone are the days when we'd walk along the Canal to Hazelhatch and a tenner would get us two pints and a packet of crisps 🤣 #costofliving #pricecheck
