A blanket of snow covers the Rock of Cashel. South Tipperary has become a winter wonderland this morning!

The Rock of Cashel, or Carraig Phádraig, is undoubtedly one of Ireland’s most iconic monuments with well more than 1500 years of stories.

Well at least now I know what I want for Christmas, to forget I ever saw this.
Was looking for art images of Mr. Tayto and just want to know which one of ye is responsible for this

It pleases me no end that my daughter only pronounces "donkey" like Shrek does.

Never been talked out of buying something faster than by my daughter telling me the brown furry coat i was trying on looked like a hedgehog. IT ABSOLUTELY DID.

Interesting parenting development in that the very nearly 6 year old got into my bed and spent 3 hours just periodically saying "presents" to me in my sleep, in what I can only assume is subliminal messaging.

I miss how dating used to be. You didn't have to use Tinder. You could just acquire a toad to carry around from the swamps. If you wanted to kiss him & turn him into a prince, you could. And if not, you still had a nice toad companion. Simpler times.

Next level: I have bought a table runner now. And a little jug! God help me, Carolyn Donnelly stuff is just so appealing to the 41 year old irish woman.
What stage of adulting is buying a cake stand because I have bought a cake stand now.

Resetting my password to this place feels a lot like I feel when I go home for a few days and it's all familiar but also strange and I've forgotten a lot of names sooooo I guess it's time for a nice bag of chips and a stroll about town?

Remember who did this. It wasn’t immigrants. It was white Irish men. Destroying a city for their own racist agenda. Fuck the far right.

Gonna do what my mother does when there's a flood in Veneto or somewhere a few hundred km away, and ring to see if she's alright there in Leitrim with riots going on in Dublin.

Christmas decor influencers be all "what I got at expensive shop vs how I styled it" and then just plonk it on a table. Ok?

Given how often my shower curtain falls, guessing all those girlies hanging really heavy garlands on extendable shower curtain rails are going to be making content about their sore heads instead.

Less than an hour after this press conference, Israel destroyed the last of Gaza’s telecommunication infrastructure.

The immense privilege of being able to comfort your crying children who've awoken at night telling them everything is ok, knowing how many thousands of Palestinian mothers can't do likewise tonight.

You don't cut off an entire region's internet and cell phone service because you're about to do some good, cool, helpful stuff.

Kids have been in school for 2 weeks and are now sick for the 3rd time (ok one kid only got sick twice but). I am also sick. This is our life now, until next summer. I hate it.

Has anyone else ever heard the phrase "they'd mind mice at crossroads" meaning they're careful with money/also stingy?

First proper school drop off complete with only minimal tears (all mine, not able for my babies being big all of a sudden).

I am inordinately proud of myself for spotting the bus driver from Hocus Pocus in an episode of Murder She Wrote.

At this point, the only reason I'm still on the other place is because I'm too lazy/adhd-brained to find all of you and follow you again so I'll simply spend the next 13 or so years coming across you and refollow you as you appear, sorry I don't make the rules.
