What a wonderful thing! The late, great, Manchán Magan left us with one last book of his wisdom. I'm really looking forward to reading this! ❤️❤️❤️

A book by Manchán Magan titled "Seeing What's Hidden"

My nephew went to London last week and didn't forget to bring back some gifts for his Auntie Aileen. That definitely made me smile 😁❤️

It was this outfit they were talking about but I couldn't find a proper pic of it!

I saw a journalist describe Siobhán McSweeney's outfit on #TraitorsIRL as "pirate queen couture". I mean... yeah!!! Amazing! 😍😁🇮🇪

I've been doing a rewatch of #Animaniacs and I've come to realise I've grown up to become Slappy Squirrel! A sarcastic, single and child free auntie with an adorable nephew! 😂

LGBTQIA+ Pride month may be over (we don't stop loving and supporting you no matter the date though!) and now it's #DisabilityPride month! I'm very lucky that my #MultipleSclerosis is very well managed, but disability is very much part of my life and always will be.

Look what my talented sister in law made for me! I bought the crochet kit and realised it was way beyond my abilities so Roxy took it on. She's super gifted at crochet. My nephew decided she's called Susi. I hope she likes the ships cos she lives there now! ♥️🖖♥️

About an hour ago, my mother (72) came into my living room, picked a book off the shelf and sat down to read it. She paused at where the author signed it and said "aww that's sweet" then went on to read and be quite impressed by chapter 1. You have a new fan @seanferrick.bsky.social 😁❤️
