Die Hard is a Christmas movie. It’s set during Christmas, ffs.

I will defend this view point relentlessly. ‘Last Christmas’ is one of the best Christmas movies I’ve seen. It’s funny, charming, has an amazing soundtrack that all Wham/George Michael fans will adore and the main characters’ development is positively uplifting. However, it will make you cry… 🎄💕🎅🏻

Picked up these lovely salt and pepper shakers in Penneys and now I know I simply MUST have all matching accessories and in my head I’m already down €100.

Ah no, Diane Keaton has left us. What a brilliant screen presence she was. Warm, witty and so entertaining.

When the time comes, hopefully many years from now, I’d like to be brave in my choices, to choose music that truly resonates with me and maybe even to promote a giggle or two. That’s what I hope.

Youngest little person called dibs on movie night and chose The Secret Society of Second Born Royals - it’s like Quantum of Solace for pre teens but I’ll be damned - it has some pretty good plot twists.

My 13yo’s favourite movie of ALL time (so far) is ‘Father of the Bride’ and I can’t wait to introduce her to ‘Only Murders in the Building’
Steve Martin is 80.
Martin Short on first meeting him: ‘I walked into his house and it was so beautiful. There were Picassos and Hoppers on the wall & I said to him ‘how did you get that rich because I’ve seen your work?’

I like to watch the end credits of big Hollywood blockbusters and find the most Irish sounding names. Today it’s Dan O’Connell on ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ - I don’t know what a ‘Foley Artist’ is but good man, Dan.

Just how tech savvy am I? When my work phone eventually stopped working, I apologetically asked the good folks in the office if I was eligible for an upgrade. “Eh, you were due a new phone in 2021”. I don’t like change.

The Undertones and The Boomtown Rats at Swords Castle 🏰 last night. One of the best gigs I’ve ever seen. As front men go, Paul McLoone and Bob Geldof are outstanding. Two amazing bands on one stage. What a night. @fingal.ie @paulmcloone.bsky.social @theboomtownrats.bsky.social
