Ding. The weekly notification popped up on my phone. āYour social media usage this week was more than last week.ā To which my default response would have typically been along the lines of āwould you ever feck off with yourselfā until the other day when I noticed that my usage had spiralled by a whopping 60%! What the actual ā¦ ? āHow can that be?ā I moaned. Until I remembered a āthroupleā ofā¦

Looking cross-eyed at today
In the Catholic calendar, the 6th of January marks the Feast of the Epiphany. In the West, it heralds the arrival of the Magi to honour the Christ child, while in the Eastern tradition, where it is known as Theophany, it commemorates the baptism of Jesus in the River Jordan. In the not-so-holy Ireland of 2024, the 6th also marks Nollaig na mBan or Womenās Christmas, a day on which domestic rolesā¦

The Mozart was sublime, but next year I'll be going agnostic
āTwas the night before Christmas, when all through the house. Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. Shame the same couldnāt be said for Dublin City centre. āTis the night before Christmas. 7pm to be exact. Standing at the bus stop. Itās cold, dark, wet and the air reeks of Wintry damp and stale fat from the nearby Guest House. Bus comes. I go upstairs. Apart from a worse-for-wearā¦

The Chance
The first bottle missed the television screen by inches. It smashed into the apricot flower patterned wallpaper leaving ice cold streamlets of milk racing down through its satin-effect grooves.Ā As milk dripped onto the brown and gold carpet, another bottle came hurtling through the air. It sailed with easy grace through roast beef-scented air before crashing into the corner of the living room,ā¦

The Big Red Button
The care staff carefully turned her onto her right hand side. Slowly and with great care, they hoisted her upwards, propping her upright against the giant stack of pillows that dwarfed her already shrunken size, making her look like a small mouse peeping out from a white fleecy cocoon. The smaller of the two, the one with the pretty smile and West of Ireland accent, put the big red button intoā¦

Everything happens for a reason
Recently, I found myself walking within a continuous loop of serendipity. It all started with an innocuous email I sent to someone recommending they read Paul Lynchās Booker winning āProphet Songā. This someone, weāll call him Gaustine, is a person I have never met. In fact, Iāve never even seen him. I have just heard and listened to his growling baritone voice as we discussed endless rounds ofā¦

Shutting the Door on Death
Death ā¦ this great known unknown ā¦ is immeasurable in its infiniteness. Unquantifiable, it is elusive in its unpredictability. The only thing we can be certain of is of death itself. It is an experience that none of us can eschew. Try as we might, we have neither the wit nor the power to outsmart an unstoppable event which has captured both the fears and imaginations of every generation ofā¦

Thoughts on St Brigid's Day
Thoughts on St BrigidāsĀ Day
Somethingās got to give. It might just be me!
Tonight, having reached the end of an ever-fraying rope, my soul and self fell into some kind of liminal space. A shadowy crevice in which I am now caught, trapped by anger and a deep sense of frustration. I, me, myself, the sum of all my parts ā body, soul, persona ā have been fossilised like amber forĀ nigh on three years.
Three years. Has it reallyā¦

Exposure Wonāt Pay The BillsĀ #dailyinspo365
Come write for our blog; youāll get great exposure and a myriad fridge magnets! Itās a mugās game that writing for blogs malarkey.
Oh, youāll get all the free mugs in the world, but youāll never get the price of the coffee to put in them. You will probably get a nice coaster though, and possibly a fridge magnet with a snappy one liner to which you can turn for comfort each time you open yourā¦

Managing my Monkey MindĀ #dailyinspo365
With a head more full of chatter than a chimpsā compound, I need to find a way to silence the monkey mind.
Thereās so much going on in my universe right now that my personal space feels cramped. With each passing day itāsĀ becoming more difficult to silence the mental chatter. High time toĀ muzzle my monkey mind.

What to Do?Ā #dailyinspo365
Iāve had no sleep. Nothing at all. Not a jot.
Itās 5.30am and Iām sitting in the living room drinking Pai Mu Tea and feeling a little worse for wear. Weary before the bustling grind has even blinked an eye or scratched an itch.
In three hours, Iāll board a plane to London, forecast to be a hot and heavy 29 degrees, the type of weather that drains. Whatever gas is left in the tank will be wellā¦

Flat As a PancakeĀ #dailyinspo365
Itās only Day 1 and already the battery has gone dead. Instead of feeling all light and airy, IāmĀ as flat as a pancake.Ā
Half way through day one and a dead head/sluggish bod combo are nailing me to the floor. My legs feel leaden, my bones are aching. One minute my head is as light as a feather, the next itās a ton weight on my neck. If this is how I feel and I havenāt yet reached the end of theā¦

As VC-Day approaches, I don my needs-must hat, pump up my long deflated bravado, and neck as much caffeine as is physically possible in one day!
Tomorrow is VC-Day! Yes folks. After months of the down three, up five, Iām taking a cavernous plunge into the world of hardcore cleanse.
To bring an end to the long running āplateau showā, it was necessary for me to make peace with myself. Thisā¦

A post in which I reflect upon being told that contrary to popular opinion, you are indeed too old to learn!
āYouāre never too oldā or so the saying goes. Well, not according to my now ex-driving instructor. It would seem that I am of an age when it is nigh on impossible for this old dog to learn new tricks.
IhoĀ there is an age when we must accept that we are too old to learn, and Iāve reachedā¦

The Menopause Manual p1Ā #dailyinspo365
The menopause journey. With no clear start or end point, odd diversions, and an estimated time of arrival that can spanĀ years, menopause is certainly a trip, and then some, that requires some turn-by-turn directions.
Nobody tells you what the menopause is like, or how bad it is.
My mum never discussed it. The reasons for that were probably twofold. One, she is of a generation that invariablyā¦

Simply Bee #dailyinspo365
Bees have always held a childlike fascination for me.
Itās their furriness, and those bright neon yellow stripes, and the continual bouncing around and grappling with flowers. The cuteness!!
Itās always worth hitting the pause button āto stop and stareā. To immerse oneself in the deep, wondrous pleasure to be had in watching a bee flitting from flower to flower before coming to land on a nearbyā¦
