My dad always wrote 31B on things belonging to our boat so we'd know who owned it. My sister, my friend Ben and I took that to the point of writing 31B on the most ridiculous things (knives, forks, the ceiling) and it became a running joke between the four of us. My dad isn't around anymore, and in not too long 31B won't belong to me anymore...but after today I'll always belong to it. #tattoo #firsttattoo #boat #canalbarge #canal #dad #31B

I hang out of the side of mountains way more than I thought I would at 20. #nofilter #ireland #mountain #countryside #fields

Went to hide in the clouds on top of a mountain when I couldn't face the world today. Clouds made it easy to pretend the world didn't exist further than I could see.

@dilligaf138 and I got up at 8 this morning to see the eclipse and nearly didn't get to because of the cloud But we're pretty sure that my dad and her dad were busy making holes in the clouds so that we could see it. #eclipse #eclipse2015 #eclipseireland #eclipsewexford #sun #moon #amazing #solareclipse #partialeclipse #totaleclipse #awestruck #nowords #wow

Claire Murphy is fundraising on JustGiving for Irish Cancer Society

Help Claire raise money for this great cause.

Hey so, as some of you are aware my dad had cancer last year, and ultimately he died because of it. As I’m sure most of you aren’t aware, in the last three years two other family members (my aunt and uncle) have been affected by cancer, aswell as one very good friend. Luckily my aunt is now in remission, and is doing alright. But we lost my uncle in February and my friend Steph in June 2013.

My family are done with cancer, we want it gone. We literally cannot stand to see it affect any more people we know and love. So as a group, we’re participating in an Irish fundraising event called Shave or Dye! Every year people all around Ireland raise money to fund cancer research, and services for people and families with cancer. As a sort of thank you and an incentive to get people donating the stipulation is you raise the money and then do something absured to your hair.

We’re trying to (between about 15 people, maybe more by the time comes) raise at least €1000 euro for this charity, and I know that a lot of you can’t afford to donate but £1/$1/€1 can make a difference. So if you can please donate or share this with people.

It would mean the world to my family.

Today we went to take things from the boat and just generally get it ready for being sold. We also scattered some of my dads ashes in the bilges of the boat. It was a really good but really weird day. #fatherdaughterselfie #family #dad #canalbarge #31b

Had the best 30 something hours with this girl in Dublin. We saw Sea Wall, we walked for literal miles, we met amazing people and we had a lot of feelings about mormor. Five months until we see one another in London. #bestfriend #jimtomyseb #moriartytomymoran #cuterthanyou #missheralready @amyloula_

Amy came over and we saw Sea Wall and we headcanoned and we had feelings and we walked miles and I miss my lil tea drinking best friend like crazy???

[zzzabrak]

My heart’s still pounding.

An account of my Sea Wall escapades:
Earlier in the day, I circled the theatre a few times, trying to find the stage door, in the hopes of later getting an autograph. Failed, but nevermind. 


Waiting outside the theatre about an hour before the show, and Andrew Scott walks past me. I double-take, heart in throat: he’s hurried, and intense, and stylish and adorable.


Once inside, I eavesdrop on the two people behind me waiting to get our seats. We talk a bit, and it’s only once I’m sitting down that I realize, hey I recognize one of them. 
Andrew’s already there as we file in, pacing absently on the minimal-to-the-point-of-nonexistence set. The audience hushes almost immediately once the doors shut. What follows is half an hour of some of the best theatre I’ve seen (for those who saw it online: that, times 50. For those who haven’t: what the fuck. And to be able to see him live… 


The play ends, darkness, standing ovation, and we file back out. I accost my queue-companions (not at all creepily), who turn out to be Amy and Katie. We’re heading out when Amy realizes she’s left her scarf in the theatre (did you really?) By that point I’d given up on meeting Andrew, and was just glad to have seen the play and to be going out for drinks with like-minded lunatics. Which of course means that he is there, by the door, signing autographs, posing for photos, being lovely. 

We wait for the crowd to thin - me shaking like I’m about to spontaneously combust. I take their photo, and then it’s my turn. 

Mother Mary on a trampoline. I can’t even remember what I said. Did I even remember to say hi? Please? Thank you? He very graciously signed some autographs (almost misspelling my name, I don’t even care) and agreed to a photo. My left arm and side are now magical for it. It’s like touching a unicorn. I think I remembered to say how much I enjoyed the play. I’m still overcome.

Long story short: Andrew Scott is confirmed as the loveliest, most amazing man on earth. And I’m so grateful to have met Katie and Amy, who are wonderful, and without whom the evening would not have been half as spectacular.

So yeah Katie ( bitchesbeclothed ) has already posted it but here’s her, Andrew and me after Sea Wall last night. He has stupid levels of talent, and he is basically made of sunshine.

[katydidrambles]

Andrew met me again last night after #seawall I maybe swore like twice a sentence or more while I spoke to him for which I am apologetic. #andrewscott #dublintheatrefestival #projectartscentre #bae

My uncle died on Sunday night and, last night we took a notion to go to the graveyard and see where he'd be buried. After that we went to visit my mam and my grandparents. ♥♥
