I have Dani and Sarah in our usual strictly sweepstakes. Which means I’m now worried for them both. I hope my losing streak doesn’t bring any injuries #Strictly

I personally would make a Victoria sponge for every challenge. And the flavour? … Cake. The flavour is cake, Paul!!

So it’s seems they’re not taking the “wearable” too seriously. Some of these hats are just a cake. I applaud this approach! #GBBO

I don’t know what to make of that. Maybe it should have been a jig instead of a jive. #strictly

One from the archives In 1984 Dunnes shop worker Mary Manning refused to handle South African goods & was backed by her shop steward, Karen Gearon. Both were suspended. 9 colleagues came out in support. The strike lasted 3yrs & forced the Irish govt to ban the import of all SA goods. All heroes

I feel like La Voix showed us last year how a little talk back to the judges really livens it up (obvs I’d love if La Voix was doing it). The crosstalk didn’t always work tonight but I feel like they’ll get there. #strictly

I’m happy to give grace to the new presenting team but I wonder if Josh and Emma would be better split with Emma doing the continuity stuff and Josh doing the judges comments. Jojo is essentially perfect if they can sort the mic out! #strictly

Would love your take on how the edit affected our understanding of what was going on. I think Janet mentioned on uncloaked that lots of people had been asking if they were murdered in plain sight. So maybe the ignoring of the facts isn’t as outlandish as it appeared (still pretty outlandish!)

Commendable pronunciation of Aoife and Saoirse! Donal often trips up non-Irish people. The first syllable is like the dough in doughnut /donut (as distinct from the name Donnell).

Also the “selfish” thing… like it’s selfish to not be providing care for non existent being. How dare you. But also I do tell non dog people that they’re missing out because no one loves you like a dog. And I think that’s morally fine!

It’s worse than you can imagine. Because he wants me to get back into bed. And I also want that too!

This approach wasn’t working so he’s changed tactic and is now giving me all the “face” #dogs

Little dog looking up. He’s on his hind legs with his front paws on my leg. He’s giving the full being cute face with big brown eyes

I eventually remembered to take a photo of them together but they were very intently peeing on the same patch, so this is what you get. At least no one is actively peeing for this split second. #dogs

Two small dogs sniffing around a tree. Teddy is tan coloured terrier and Bo is mostly white with a black face and spots. They are facing away not remotely posing

Máire @mairebro.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

And both owners were not sure how it’s going to go. But once they saw each other they got all excited and played with each other like a couple of pups. Both me and Bo’s parent were in shock. They remembered each other and still loved each other. 🥹 #dogs
