Katie Taylor is Ireland's greatest-ever athlete, and I'm so thankful she gets to walk away on her own terms. A warrior, a winner and a woman whose pride in her country and her sport was never in doubt or besmirched. We will never see the likes of her again.

My friend Refaat will be 3ys dead this December. Most people don’t know that he wrote If I Must Die back in 2011. It is a poem, as the poet Fady Joudah said, “written by man who has already experienced the chronicle of a death foretold.” His words are immortal. ‘If I must die, Let it bring hope.’

One of the biggest things I've noticed, post treatment, surgeries etc, is the time it takes me to bounce back. A busy day or a late night has me absolutely wiped out. My bounceback ability is severely impaired. 😴

My sister's bday present is my current #wip. After I finish that front bit it's just the sleeves and that's it! ('Just' the sleeves lol 🤣) According to my niece, her Mam is gonna love it! 🧶 💜 First time doing short rows so I'm pretty happy with adding that to my skill set too . #Knitsky #Knitting

My post chemo hair is wild, sticking out all over the place! 🙆🏻 So I decided to use my new skill and knit myself a hairband. 1st time using 3mm needles so I think my hair will be halfway down my back by the time I finish this. However, I do love how this linen stitch comes out! #Knitsky #Knitting 🧶

Another biiiiig lesson today. 🧶 I waited way too long to try this on and now I'm going to have to frog the whole thing. It's way too big. But I'm OK with that, I enjoyed the actual knitting regardless and I'll just try again, after triple checking measurements next time. 💛 #Knitsky #Knitting

A bookshop is a very good place to disappear for ten minutes and return to yourself. Rain outside. Noise outside. Nonsense outside. Inside: shelves, stories, quiet browsing, and the possibility that one book might steady the whole day. #Indiebookshopweek @booksaremybag.bsky.social

You know it's love when he counts your stitches for you 😍🧶 He also got 103 so I'm definitely missing one stitch, will I just sneak an extra one in somewhere?! 🫣 #Knitting #Knitsky

Phil (husband) is sitting with legs crossed and holding a piece of knitting in his two hands, he is concentrating on counting the stitches on the needle.

Well well well,I've arrived to the point of the end of sleeve and the final cuff of my #firstjumper but I'm not gonna make it with this amount of yarn! I'm considering changing colour for the cuffs which means redoing other one would it be better than buying a new ball just for a cuff? 🤔 🧶 #Knitsky
