Tonight I am broken. I have to send Peppers brother Milo over the furry rainbow to him tomorrow. God it’s so hard losing them.

A mild and cloudy start to the week but dry for most. Sunny spells will develop in the South this afternoon and slowly extend North. A fine week ahead with only risk of some rain on Thursday near South coast. Enjoy and remember the sunscreen.

Got the first line of washing outside this year on a glorious day with a nice breeze and a few fluffy clouds. Then 14 fecking minutes later it pisses out of the heavens. Ireland your a c€&nt. @carlowweather.bsky.social

This mural in our local park is a tribute to the late Delorus from the Cranberries, however, and no disrespect to the artist, I think it’s Kat Slater. 👀

So I wanted to try #painting so I’m giving painting by numbers a try to get a flavour of how it all works. My first attempt is not postable but learning as we go. Wish me luck.

Incredibly proud to be a part of this superb voluntary group. Essential in rural Ireland.

'Chain of survival' - 20 years of CFR groups in Ireland
Twenty years after the idea was first mooted in a Co Wicklow village, Ireland's network of community first responders is now made up of 4,000 volunteers in more than 300 groups nationwide.

Even though I only live 50mins from the Sally Gap, today was my first time there. It didn’t disappoint and it snowed too.

I just signed it and so should you (EU pals)
Here's something that takes seconds and could have actual positive outcomes.

There is an official 'citizen's petition' system in the EU. There's one open at the moment to ban conversion therapy for LGBT+ people in the EU.

Ireland can be 1 of the 7 nations needed

Watch out for this scammer. I’ve reported and it’s seems to have disappeared.

What a find in a charity shop. The funniest book title I have seen in a long time. I need to find its companion now. #catsanddogs

This time tomorrow night I will have rang in the new year and entertained (I hope) all the patrons in The Gap pub, Ballythomas, Co Wexford alongside my band mate Tom, for the 13th time in 14 years (-1 Covid). I’m gonna wish all on here a happy, safe, prosperous and peaceful new year early.

Spent most of yesterday and today minding a friend who was determined to do away with himself. He was determined. Depression, deep and unfathomable. His poor wife reached out to me for support. He is now in hospital at the mercy of Irelands mental health system. Light a candle and hug your loved. ❤️🙏

My Ma is livid that people will now opt out of listing a family members passing to save on funeral expenses, & will render the site useless.@theirishtimestoday.bsky.social should rethink this and run ads for florists, funeral directors, carpenters, digger drivers etc instead to monetise it. #rip.ie

I never knew this view of the station existed until tonight, having passed it a million times in daylight or by car. Luck had it that when collecting my daughter from work I needed a thousand steps to hit my goal, I happened upon it. It has its own natural vignette.
