By day I work in research development, by night I mostly sleep. Somewhere in the middle I write fantasy fiction, play D&D and watch movies and tv. Inevitably this account will be full of pictures of my dog. Refugees always welcome. She/her 🇮🇪
Is there anything to be said for ditching the intense training and just having people with give it a go each week with just a little bit of practice and guidance? I think the push to have everyone look like a pro is taking the joy out of #strictly.

Couldn’t be my dog, barking down my parents house at midnight like we’re being burgled because there’s a fly in here. My dog would never do that. Must be someone else’s dog…

It’s taken two months and an actual storm but the cat has finally gone into her new house. We hope she’ll eventually figure out the cat door but at least she’s finally gone inside

This is a long shot, but I'm in Limerick regional hospital with my mum and she'd be a lot more comfortable with an electric fan but the hospital doesn't have one to spare. Would anybody out there have one I could borrow?

Met another Máire in the wild this evening. It’s a rare occurrence. We immediately bonded over the world mangling our name.

Whenever you wonder about your limits, remember this little dog thinks he can take on a lion. I’m not saying it’s advisable, just something to ponder #dogs #nonsenseDog

New career path: Telling everyone that I use generative AI for everything (and then just half-assing it with my own brain) so people I don’t respect throw piles of money at me and are cool with the final product being bad.

Last year #speirgorm peeps helped me with finding a fun baking class for me & my niece. We went to Firehouse Bakery and had a great time. So much so she’s asked to go again. Firehouse are just doing bread for now. Anyone got ideas? Dublin area or within an hour or so? #baking #bakingclass #dublin
