oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 07/10/2026My current regular DPD driver waits until the door is answered.... weekend delivery is more drop and run. My regular postie also knocks and waits..... the holiday cover postie rings the bell, but doesn't wait..... but she knows it will be safe until I get downstairs....benefits of village life 100
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 27/08/2026110% agree!!! Couldn't put it down..... Thank God for the perfect book reading weather when it came out 🌞🌞🌞 010
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 09/08/2026@janecasey.bsky.social This has me hooked up until the very last page!! Absolutely brilliant 👏👏👏I can't wait for the next installment of Maeve and Josh..... but I hope you're planning on continuing the Ben & Farrell partnership at some point in the future too 🙏🙏 120
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 09/08/2026I have the physical copy and tomorrow is the day I find out what happened!!!!! I can't wait..... but also don't want it to end!! 010
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Not a hope I'm chancing it!!! My car already goes bananas if I pull in a bit when I'm meeting tractors/trucks on narrow roads...... not to talk about the application of the emergency brake if I'm reversing too fast into my driveway and the sensors catch sight of my flower pots 🤣🤣 100
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 06/08/2026 Can the parents association not set up a 'book swap' library?? We have them at work and in our local community centre. People simply donate books they've read..... the idea is you donate the book you've read and borrow another. It might be more affordable and sustainable. 100
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 06/08/2026We might need to set up a financial planning meeting to discuss your options for your big win 🤣🤣🤣🤣 110
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 06/08/2026I started finding the ripe blackberries walking last night.... and I eat them straight off the ditch... old school 🤣🤣😋😋 110
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 01/08/2026That's essentially the size of my driveway..... plus my neighbours.....in a very normal 'Celtic Tiger' housing estate! In other words, a decent postage stamp 🙈🙈🙈🙈 000
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 09/07/2026I feel your pain... listening to it all week but let's think positive!! Failing that.. there is always East Clare where the sun arrived eventually yesterday 120
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 25/06/2026But let me guess......it was really easy to subscribe online 🙈🙈🙈 010
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Definitely send her back to the start!! 000
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Any hope of a limit on the number of posters at least?? And the cable ties..... they need to be fined for leaving them behind too!! 000
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Oh wow!!! That's my summer/holiday reading sorted!! Thanks for letting me know xx 110
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Both were absolute page turners and had me laughing and crying!!! And I'll probably be crying in the morning when my alarm sounds, but I couldn't go to bed without finding out the ending of The Reunion!! Now to find more of your back catalogue 🔎🔎 100
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 24/06/2026@roisinm.bsky.social I have spent the recent sunny spells escaping to Roone followed by The Reunion!! I found these on a bookshelf at work recently from way before I found you....sorry!! I also noticed the sticker on The Reunion suggests it travelled to and back from Lanzarote!!!! 100
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 11/06/2026I wouldn't know.....I have one box of non-bio powder!! Years ago when I was using tabs, I mistakenly put a dishwasher tab in the washing machine..... nothing disastrous happened as dishwasher tabs obviously require hotter water to dissolve .... so it came back out almost as it went in! 000
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 05/06/2026And some of us are peri-menopausal and need to go back and check what was said 🙈🙈🙈 010
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 03/06/2026I've pre-ordered your new book and can't wait for the next Maeve Kerrigan......no coaxing needed!!! 110
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 26/05/2026@kennysbookshop.bsky.social A lovely surprise landed in my door last week as I'd completely forgotten I'd pre-ordered this some time last year. I've devoured it in the sunshine the last couple of days. It's an absolute page turner!! Well done ladies 👏👏👏 121
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 11/04/2026The word 'sharing' is missing above 🙈 000
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 11/04/2026Why would he.....to get abused like everyone else their knowledge over there????? 100
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 10/04/2026Always so jealous of your Bleeding Hearts.... really need to find this plant! 120
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 10/04/2026Most quotes are valid for 30 days I thought...... and in the current situation, you'd be lucky if it's valid in 30 hours!! It's normally written in the small print... 100

oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 07/02/2026Oh no!!! Sorry to read this 😔 Had relatively small flood damage in my mother's house a few years back.... don't know how people cope with repeated or serious flooding. Sending best wishes.... for what they're worth xx 110
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 07/02/2026Might have to spin into Ennis tomorrow 😉 110
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 28/01/2026I would prefer to know who wrote the book. I do wonder how many 'celebrities' write their own books.... way too many of them coming on stream...me thinks!! 000
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 22/01/2026Delighted to read that audiobooks count.... and library borrows.....so I'm hoping that library audiobooks also count 🙏🙏 I would love to have time to read and walk..... but I don't, so my compromise is walk and listen to audiobooks.... from library and Audible. 100
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 15/01/2026Ooh..... haven't had a cherry cake in forever...... need to make one.... and try not to eat all the cherries while I'm mixing it 🤣🤣 Thanks for the reminder 😋😋 120
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 29/11/2025But I still do like you.... making sure they all go in the correct bin🙈🙈 010
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 29/11/2025I did make 1 black Friday purchase.... but it was another small Irish business and it was something I needed, so I don't think I did too bad. The rest is just noise to me!! 110
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 29/11/2025You're not alone..... well I turned 50 in October..... but have never seen Star Wars 010
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 16/11/2025My mother was buying a new "white good" (can't remember which one) a number of years ago, and similar story, the only thing the guy said was the only thing he could guarantee was it wouldn't last as long as the dead one! 010
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 16/11/2025Only for my Home Economics teacher, I'd probably still be baffled by cutlery settings in a restaurant/ fancy hotel. We had one knife and fork and were well fed as kids at a family table, but no notions!!! There's more important things in life than posh table manners 000
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 16/11/2025I love lighthouses......Loop Head was our local one...... but I've also done the Black Sod tour. I'll always take the opportunity to visit one no matter where I am in the world. So add Loop Head to your collection and I'm in 😉🙏 100
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 16/11/2025I've just turned 50.... and if we ignore the peri meno🙈....I still feel like a young one 🤣🤣 010
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 08/11/2025I heard your interview on @clarefmradio.bsky.social yesterday and I can't wait! Best of luck with the Book Awards 🙏🙏 110
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 18/09/2025What soup is that? It looks exactly like a spinach and potato soup that I make.... hence the question 😂 100
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 23/08/2025I've reached the point where I treat everything as a scam. Luckily I work in an industry where we're constantly being (over) trained on IT security/scams/phishing! I only follow accounts that are verified or that I've seen genuine people share. It's getting harder every day!!!! 000
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 03/08/2025Haven't had Greengage in a long time...... last time I had, it came from Scotland....definitely good for scones 😋😋😋 010
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 25/07/2025I honestly don't care..... even in my job, I don't want to know what others are on. It's a complete waste of time and energy!! 000
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 16/07/2025As an FYI ...contact the retailer/sender....assuming it's a purchase. Either way, it's the person that sends the package and pays the courier has the contract with them and that can get all that info 100
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 12/07/2025Ellen had just moved to Notting Hill before the dew sent me fleeing indoors.....tomorrow is another day!! 110
oliviaking75.bsky.social @oliviaking75.bsky.social · 06/07/2025Thanks for the warning..... this book had come highly recommended from a colleague. I'll knock it off my list..... have a few fictional ones to read that don't claim to be anything else! 000
