Good Lord Above, I can't get to work tomorrow, thanks to some fault on the Luas. I was ages getting in today and ages getting back. There is no fecking bus route that properly replicates the bloody Luas. Maybe Dublin Bus should get on that?

I have made it to my Luas stop, just about. Deeply regretting my decision not to craft a nest for myself in the office.

First year selling my art at Christmas without the Other site, where most of my sales came from, as well as losing US orders to new tariffs, so it'll be a tough one - I put huge work into every order, so even if you can't buy, shares help get them in front of eyes. GRMA! www.ciaraioch.com/artprints

www.thejournal.ie/tuam-mother-... The Mother and Baby Home where I came from is now covered in a housing estate. I often wonder how many infants are buried under those nice semi Ds. They keep trying to cover the grounds of Bessborough in Cork with housing. But we don't know what's down there.

St. Cuthbert of Lindisfarne is the patron saint of otters. He would stand waist-deep in the North Sea during his nightly prayer vigils, and according to the story, two otters would come and warm his feet with their breath and dry them with their fur.

We got seagulled this morning. 1 of the 2 bins out. As I was on my way to work, I asked himself to go out, scoop up the detritus and fix up the tear with some sellotape. He did so. They still didn't lift the bins. Greyhound, you have pissed off the wrong woman. In 2 weeks I will take the day off.

@annstapleton.bsky.social I have no idea how to slide into your DMs cos I suck at social media, so public it is! I said to G just heard from Ann, when was the last time we saw that face? He said too long. I know, I know, Christmas, but hit us up in January. It has genuinely been too long.

Anyone with any (house) insurance knowledge on here willing to help me? If you slide into my DMs, I promise you pics of an enormous floofy ginger, an extremely elusive tiny void and a tortie that belongs on the Only Fans of tummies! Quid pro quo, Clarice.

In my youth I worked in a cash and carry. I have never been as fit and thin. Scale up three shelves, I would estimate at least four times my five foot one height. Wrestle a ten kg box of Persil over your shoulder, drop it down to colleague. Yeah.

The tortie (2ish) is 100% Jane Seymour. No one fucking liked her, apart from Henry. Pitch your tent to a better queen!

I am a bit odd. I am obsessed with witches and the six wives of Henry VIII of England. No, none of them were witches, contrary to popular opinion. No one is a witch. I am channelling the cats and I think oldest boy 12?ish is C of Aragon. The middle child (9?) must be Anne of Cleves because reasons.

@8radioireland.bsky.social Well, that was a lovely little 90s interlude! I saw Tricky at some Feile or other. Timeless classics. 'Picture me giving a damn? I said NEVER'.
