Feels like I should drink tea and share a #painting with you. "Mayo Lake" comes from a time I cycled slowly on the quiet side of Carrowmore, often stopping beside an invasive flower as the breeze bounced off the water to caress my face and the sunshine dosed me with memories. #SpeirGorm #Art

Ever since leaving Twitter, I haven't seen a single reference to the Neo-Andean architecture of El Alto, Bolivia. Not one.

So the other morning, @liliansmith.bsky.social played Kate Bush's *December Will Be Magic Again*, and I went rooting for it on Spotify, but the original is not there. 🤔
And that's how I found *this* cover by The Pink Singers, which I CAN'T stop playing. #Fab

Ye have to wonder how convicted ex-guard/domestic abuser/coercive controller Mark Doyle has managed to persuade some other poor woman to be his partner. 🤷🏼♀️

This reminds me of the time we brought home and buried our cat at the bottom of the garden after being killed on the road, only for her to turn up - very much alive - a couple of days later. We buried someone else's pet. 😱

Ten years ago today, with Alzheimers descending on her, my mother left the home she had lived in for 40 plus years. Being who she was, she wasn't going until she'd hoovered every last inch, and I snapped this photo.
With the passage of time, it's taken on an almost unbearable poignancy.

Time to share another painting with you. "Four Courts from East" is a Dublin view I get most every time I head home from town, whether walking, cycling, or on the bus. I did this painting a few years back. #Art

It is again time for a painting. In portrait format this is "Roundstone Harbour". It's a subject I'll return to, because of the surrounding mountains and bogs, and bay and islands, and just the shapes that the harbour itself throws up.

I met up with some pals today for brunch. Made some cinnamon rolls and let them prove overnight before baking this morning. 😋

I'm watching #LeaveTheWorldBehind on Netflix and, there too, vaping is the inhalant of choice.
In the current series of Fargo (Prime Video), one of the main bad guys is a vaper. I think it's the first time I've spotted it on a TV show. 😤
Just punched a ghost escaping from a man’s face but it turns out he was vaping

The finished product. I'm tired and will probably smell like gingerbread for days, but it's worth it.
If anyone wants recipes for any of this, let me know. Happy to share, and I've even shared some step by steps on insta before for some of them.
