Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 03/10/2026First cup of coffee made in the new abode. Mug is one of my favourites, courtesy of an Italian trip many years ago. 130
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Bought myself new keyring ages ago to use for a new abode. 2 of my favourite things: stars and lemons. 000
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Impulsively booked a mani/ pedi yesterday morning. My nails werebin bits, and my feet were so tired. Sitting back with my book, lemon water, fresh ginger tea, and a really good massage chair was a good call 👌🏻 110
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 27/09/2026First stop: hair appointment. They gave me my cappuccino in a lovely cup and saucer, and a mint viscount. Haven't had a viscount biscuit in years - Mother used to get them for us as a treat. 110
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Was up and out early yesterday, enjoying the soothing blue skies in Dublin. A lovely day to be out and about. 110
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I've started a re-read of Penny Vincenzo's excellent Spoils of Time trilogy. Haven't read them in ages. Fans of Downton might like them - some similar themes and fancyness! I find them v soothing. 000
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Brought my great friends, the weekend newspaper supplements, to dinner. I really, really love print. 100
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Theatre is one of the great loves of my life, and I have collected quotes since I was a little girl. This quote on theatre from Maggie Smith is one of my faves: it really resonates with me. #Theatre #Performance #MaggieSmith 010
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I have escaped into a lovely balmy evening, and have a lovely new podcast episode for the Podcast Walk. 000
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Feeling blue, and sick, and anxious all week but at least I now have shiny new blue nails to distract me 💙 030
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Went to see The Brightening Air at the Gate at the weekend. So, so good. Brilliant ensemble cast. #TheBrighteningAir 100
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Another day, another play ... went to #TheWhiteheadedBoy @abbeytheatre.bsky.social on Friday. It was a ✨️tonic✨️. Hilarious, I laughed so much. Anna Healy & Andrew Bennett in particular were great, the soundtrack was brilliant, and I LOVED the final scene. 251
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 26/07/2026The Shaughraun by @druidtheatre.bsky.social was a stunning experience. Amazing cast, great physical comedy, so funny, representations of English colonialism in Ireland (my fave!),& v clever staging/ set design. Also really enjoyed the joke about govt contracts, given my years in public procurement. 100
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Did I take a day off work to go to see the Druids @druidtheatre.bsky.social at Galway International Arts Festival? Yes, yes I did. Delighted with this choice. 110
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Currently in one of my favourite places: an intercity train. I love trains 🚆 100
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 15/07/2026No shade to this fella, but lol at 816,000 viewers - is that online only maybe? It doesn't seem that high. You'd get more viewers for an All-Ireland Final. Maybe even for an All-Ireland Semi Final. 110
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Gone to a therapy session ... or my form of therapy. A play. 100
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Rallied myself from the Pit of Despair once again for Florence and the Machine, and it was stunning ✨️🫶🏻 110
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 28/06/2026I was in a physical and mental heap by the end of the work week on Friday, but I rallied to see icons of my childhood, The Cure, for the first time. It was magical ✨️🫶🏻 170
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 04/06/2026I spent 2 hours pottering and shopping, and got myself one of my favourite treats, the Sprout kale Caesar salad, for dinner. 010
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 03/06/2026An unintended and mildly upsetting consequence of yesterday is that I accidentally lost my nearly 160 day reading streak by falling asleep before I read a few pages. I just conked out 😔 000
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 02/06/2026Dónal Finn pictured yesterday in a Kneecap England get out of Ireland tshirt. Man's got taste and style 🫶🏻 020
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 01/06/2026I saw Playboy of the Western World at the English National Theatre in February, and it was AMAZING. I would so love the Abbey to bring the production home to the national stage and the home of Synge. 000
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 01/06/2026Dónal Finn pictured in a CMAT I Wanna Be A Cowboy tshirt - I love this so much 🫶🏻 151
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 04/05/2026I was a bit meh about the hype, but everytime I've been in the Stella for the last 6+ months, I've seen this stunning scene of what I instantly recognised as Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in the trailer, and that was the decider. It's so striking. 110
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 26/03/2026Love this update from RTÉ, as if 90% of the country isn't in convulsions over the match 🙃 120
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 15/03/2026LOVE Jessie Buckley's red and pink gúna at the Oscars. The draping, the colours, it's fab. #Oscars #Oscars2026 020
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 21/02/2026Persuasion is probably my favourite of the Jane Austen adaptations 100
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 30/01/2026First show of 2026: Top Hat! An uplifting interlude in a long week (I was doing jury duty and so tired from it). I loved the show and enjoyed it so much. 100
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 19/01/2026Mood on the first day back to work, when nearly everything is "urgent" 130
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 18/11/2025I am somewhat amused by FG having a post congratulating Simon Harris on being appointed Minister for Finance by Simon Harris. 2235
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 16/11/2025Going to see Wicked during the week, which will be my first time to see Jonathan Bailey since my epic Richard II trip in May. It was amazing ✨️🎭 110
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 25/10/2025Missed the drama of the Presidential Election declaration for a different type of drama @abbeytheatre.bsky.social 141
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 21/10/2025Kind of obsessed with RTÉ News going live on insta with the Presidential debate. #Áras25 021
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 09/07/2025Went to see Ludovico Einaudi last night, and it was so beautiful. Incredibly soothing, good for the soul 😌 010
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 26/06/2025PSA: 1995 Persuasion starting now on BBC 4! One of the best, dreamiest Jane Austen adaptations. 110
Denise @deniseaoc.bsky.social · 17/11/2024Counting the minutes to new #WolfHall. #TheMirrorandTheLight 000
