Forget I was threading these, so reposting today’s books here as well. Day 3 of #Booktober - rounding up the various Janet and Colin Bord titles in the house. Got my first one, Mysterious Britain, in about 1988, in the then-tiny Stonehenge gift shop.

Always take the opportunity for a bathroom selfie when in the gorgeous @nlireland.bsky.social bathroom, especially when you’re wearing Yeats-adjacent tights (albeit at a Brian Friel event - well done to all the amazing performers and the staff behind the scenes).

Day 2 of #Booktober - a mid-century modern classic. Fantastic dust jacket, and delightfully gossipy stories. The Ida Lupino one is properly creepy.

IT BEGINS. #Booktober 2026 kicks off with Gibbet Hill by Bram Stoker, rediscovered in our amazing @nlireland.bsky.social 2 years ago by Brian Cleary, and republished in this beautiful edition with the proceeds going to the Charlotte Stoker Fund. #spookybooks #31sp #halloweencountdown

Another #Booktober throwback, this time from 2024. Have more collections and weird fiction for this year to mix in with the ‘real ghost’ books, will only re-run 1-2 stone-cold bangers. Can’t wait to kick off tomorrow!

Oh yes. Incredibly cringe bio, check it! And I love Les Mis too, but like…Cameron was wise to say ‘get a native English speaker to do the English lyrics.’

James Corden in Martin Guerre. The horror.

Though also... ...feel more compelled than excited for this one, but couldn't not go. Saw the OG West End production which both had some great tunes and some of the worst lyrical crimes of all time, so this is maybe closure...?

Order confirmed! Get excited for Martin Guerre!

This week in Dublin pub-bothering we hit Brogan's: a pub that rather than exaggerating or inventing its history instead barely mentions it - also a bit of an odd move. #SpeirGorm www.weirdodublinpubs.com/weirdo-guide...

Some Saint Etienne pics from last night at the Olympia, couple of short videos over on the ‘gram, for those into that sort of thing. Great to see them one final time.

Heading home from my work thing in London this afternoon to make it back in time for Saint Etienne in Dublin tonight, but can we talk about how incredibly cringe the carpet in my hotel is first? Staff have been lovely, to be fair.

Obvs could not skip the beer named after the Tunguska Event. Missed it at the Dublin Beer Festival, so rectifying that now.

At last, it’s Rob Madge time. Have been meaning to see this for ages, it finally worked out. Last saw Rob in Les Miz, so grabbed a signed poster for the kid who accompanied me on that occasion.

I know Ossett beers on cask are a ‘normal’ thing to all you UK beer nerds, but the remnants of their tap takeover at The Lyric are very exciting to me.

Someone else is in my usual spot, but you can always tell when it’s been Watkins->The Harp vs the other way round. Look, cask mild!
