Happy Christmas, Bluesky friends. It's officially chrimbo for many because of school closures and the 'big' done/nearly done.
Let the food cooking, family craic and mischief begin.

Tonight I'm raising a glass to the absolute ledgebags that make up the Irish literary scene. We're blessed with the talent and good will on our island.
Break legs, all of you going to the An Post Irish Book Awards tonight. Nominated or not.
I'll be back next year 😍

Today is the first time in a while I've had the house to myself. A day of good food, tea and a great book.
It's the little pleasures.

My 10y/o is refusing to go to bed.
I'm hiding in the kitchen with the Twirl.
My precious.

He's ruined the rest of the time

"I haven't read a book that has shaken me so intensely in many years... The comparisons are inevitable - Saramago, Orwell, McCarthy -but this novel will stand entirely on its own."

I'm quoting Colum McCann here because I can't formulate my thoughts.Just finished the novel.
It's phenomenal.

Wexford. You beaut ❤️
It's Opera season 🎉🎉🎉

Off to bed with this little beauty. A stunning collection of poems and essays from an equally stunning human ♥️
May it fly for you now @jackielynam.bsky.social

Ah Aldi.
Come on like.

It's the only cure.

Good for the soul and frazzled writer brain.
