3 weeks ago when I picked her up she was utterly broken. Today Biscotti was getting her golden ticket to retire with us.
Biscotti literally cannot stop smiling. Love, care and security have given her a new chance at life. What a lovely dog she is.

Today, I had very close encounters with 3 people on e-scooters on the road and then drove past 3 spots of fly tipping. And finally, a man pushing a pram, small child alongside, running across the road because waiting for the green pedestrian light would take a minute or two. #sillyseason.

Enoch Burke's father Sean gets two months in prison for attacking female garda after rejecting chance of suspended sentence
Sure won’t he have a grand Christmas with the young fella in the Joy. (Unless Enoc gets released for the school holidays) That’d be gas!

I watched Love Actually tonight and despite all of its dodgy bits, it’s still a film that I really like. It’s a Christmas staple for me.

It’s the time of the year when it’s so dull and dreary that you have to put a light on all day. I hate Irish winters.

Voted in Ballymun Library. It was busy enough. I found this the most difficult election for me to make my mind up.

I'm working on the story of Jesuit paedophile the late Joseph Andrews SJ who was - terrifyingly - a child psychologist who "treated" 10k kids over his career. If you can help with any details, however small, please make contact via my Substack (see bio). Reposts much appreciated!

The leaders debate is really a 2 V 1 with SH & MM ganging up on MLM. The format isn’t working but even so, Sarah McInerney is formidable.

In the other place, I followed people who I disliked or strongly disagreed with, to try and get a broad and balanced view of life. It was ultimately depressing and I won’t do that this time around. Life is too short to invite horror and hate into yours.
