Separately, here is some Friday night fluff. #Speirgorm #Cats
A very fluffy grey and white cat lies stretched on its back looking up at the camera. Its head appears tiny and its belly is a vast expanse of white and grey fur.

A large, fluffy grey and white cat is seen lying on its back on a checked woollen blanket laid over a person’s legs propped up on a chair. Its front paws at the back of the shot are in the air. Its head is thrown back and not visible in the shot. The fluffy belly is exposed and its rear legs are stretched out in the foreground.

So lucky. This landed on my lap last night just as I was ready for bed. Did I leave her there? Yes I did.
A cute and very fluffy grey and white cat looking a bit like a Maine Coon looks straight into the camera from its position on a human’s outstretched legs resting on a chair and covered in a blanket.

I would go to bed but my legs are under here. #Speirgorm
A large grey and white fluffy cat lies on its back on a blanket with all of its paws facing upwards and its big fluffy belly exposed. Its tail is sticking out between its two hind legs. There are human legs underneath the blanket resting on the chair, which may not be obvious from the picture.

Cats to the vet today for routine stuff. This lad is nearly 7kg. “He might be *a bit* large, maybe,” the vet says. #Speirgorm
A large orange and white cat peers with big eyes out through the grille of a cat carrier he just about fitted into.

“Hit it.”
Screen shot of John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd in the 106 miles to Chicago scene in the car in the film The Blues Brothers. It’s dark and they’re wearing sunglasses.

Got to love Dublin. #Speirgorm
Picture of a large junction box on the street at the top of Kildare Street at Stephen’s Green in Dublin, Ireland. On it is painted a very large, angry-looking seagull in front of two wooden gates. Two tiny people, dwarfed by the seagull, appear to be running from it, one on either side of the lower front of the image. The text over the gates reads St Stephen’s Green. The signature in the lower right of the image says M. Fitz 25.

@imbibecoffee.bsky.social The FT’s weekend magazine is dedicated to coffee, Gary. Would you like me to send it on when I’m done with it?
Cover of the FT Weekend Magaxine dated 20 September 2025. It has an image of a man in a red jumper, wearing round black-rimmed glasses, with a coffee kettle in his right hand doing a very high pour over a coffee brewer on a table in front of him. He is looking directly at the camera and in the foreground to the left and the right of the shot are cameras mounted on tripods. The caption in yellow writing reads: How did we get so weird about coffee? A strapline below in red reads: King of the bean James Hoffmann has some ideas.

Don’t know how I ended up looking for this but Phil Lynott’s burial record in Dublin isn’t easily found because his name is spelt incorrectly in the cemetery burial register. #Speirgorm
Photo of a line from a handwritten burial register with the name ‘Philip Parris Lynnott’ and the age 36. The written record coincides with the burial of Phil(ip) Lynott of Thin Lizzy on 11 January 1986, following his death on 4 January that year. Photo of the grave of Philip Parris Lynott (with one n) from Wikipedia. It has the years of his birth (1949) and death (19860 with a candle at the top and to the left of the flat grave stone and a framed picture of Lynott also placed on the grave. What appears to be a guitar woven out of some kind of reed material sits at the bottom of the gravestone.

Delighted to see this outcome for a “group” of puppies.

My other lad is hiding out under an old TV stand I keep meaning to dump.

Happy birthday once more; today we are 4. #SpeirGorm
Close up of two cats. A large orange cat sits on the floor on a dark red carpet. Just the upper part of its body is visible. Its front paws are facing to the left of the shot. Behind it, a fluffy grey and white cat sits upright looking straight into the camera.

Happy Friday. #SpeirGorm
A large orange cat lying stretched face down on a bed on a dark green velvet-type fleece blanket. The cat has its front paws extended forwards and its rear legs are splayed out, the tail curling slightly to the right. The pose is elongated, making the cat look “tall”.

Definitely of interest to Pablo.

Just finished this. It was extraordinary. I’m not sure whether to recommend it to people or not because it’s such a heart-wrenching read.
Image of a book cover in sepia tones. It shows a cat curled up, bathed in what looks like a golden light. The cat is looking up at the camera. The title of the book is MY BELOVED MONSTER Masha, the Half-Wild Rescue Cat Who Rescued Me by Caleb Carr, Author uf The Alienist

Peeling those bells is very hard on the fingernails. #Conclave #SpeirGorm
Text screengrab from a news story about the conclave to elect a new pope. It reads “Black smoke from a chimney on the roof of the chapel will mark an inconclusive vote, while white smoke and the peeling of bells will signal that the Church has a new leader.”

Saw this poster in the pub window earlier. I swear, Nik Kershaw (for anyone old enough to remember the 80s) is playing the Round O in Navan in July. #SpeirGorm
Poster with an image of the singer Nik Kershaw wearing a black shirt and playing guitar. He is wearing sunglasses. The text is advertising a gig with The Furry Gilberts and The Picnics at the Round O pub in Navan, Co Meath, Ireland, on 12th July 2025.

Saturday chilling. #SpeirGorm
A very fluffy grey and white cat lies on its back on a blanket that is also grey and white. Its back legs are in the air and its white belly is exposed. It looks content.

I find this good but beware as it’s very liquidy rather than creamy.

A Boxer in a Beemer. Good morning Dublin. #Speirgorm
View out the window from the right side of a bus into traffic. A Boxer dog is in the passenger seat of a black BMW, leaning out with its left paw hanging out the window, enjoying life. Closer crop of the Boxer dog leaning out the passenger side of a car in traffic.
