Going to the studio next week and needed to get an instrumental section set in stone for this song. I’m happy with this so far, but would love to know what you think! #musicsky #folk #irishfolk

Can we set up a WhatsApp group where we just post in where the latest deal on 18 cans of Coke Zero/Diet Cokes is?

bittersweet news: today is my last day at Bluesky. 💙 i’m very thankful to the team for letting me learn many new things on the job (including React Native). i’m wishing them luck in the improbable — but inevitable — task of making decentralized social media usable and competitive.

A few bright sunny days ahead with plenty of sunshine tomorrow Wednesday and Thursday and also many areas having sunny spells Friday. It will be cool at night though under clear skies so frosty. Enjoy the sunshine but for those still without power still it’s sadly more cold nights ahead.

Louis Walsh is totally getting off the cruel, cruel acts he is still so proud of in the Boyzone documentary. Smiling down in glee at The Sun's story for Stephen Gately. So cruel.

Finally deleted Twitter today.

16 years to the day since I signed up for Twitter. I was scrolling through this morning & finally had enough. Still my biggest achievement was Obama following me & I didn’t follow him back 💅

Blatant racism & sexism being completely normalised, not good enough.
