€10 brekky at Dublin Airport... 😶

Found this in Poco Vino my local Aldi last night. Glass size wine bottles are not new, but the look, packaging and concept looked genius to me. Very clearly aimed at women. Wine i sampled (Malbec from France) was just OK. Back to full bottles for better quality, so...

Stupidly pleased with myself for this pic, though disappointed the museum is closed today. Lovely revamp of the market square, too. #Athy #kildare #Shackleton #Speirgorm

Been thinking a lot about Ciara Mageean and it pushed me to write this personal essay on life, loss, illness, grief and survivors' guilt. theblackpoolsentinel.com/2026/06/30/9...

I am starting a PhD and am looking for grassland restoration/rewilding sites in Northern Ireland! Please forward this flier to anyone who might be interested in having their land surveyed for fungi!

Ahhh noooo! @rteradio.bsky.social have fecked around even with the @sundaymiscellany.bsky.social jingle! 😢

Listen to the Judge dalek.zone/w/oeeukBjJxR...

Spring day... would love a few more of those, and hold the rain, please...

@eolai.bsky.social love your paintings. They speak to me. Do you exhibit anywhere?

Post a tree that you photographed

Really cool Procession of Light this evening in #KildareTown. Great wonderfully pagan spectacle for #Imbolc #StBrigid Festival. Fab for kids and grownups alike! 😍🥰

I know if have been in Ireland a very long time when I remember the @rteradio.bsky.social ads for vet meds against sarcoptic mangemite and cattle liver fluke at dinner time. #RTE100

The mistle thrush is not part of the turdus family for no reason. Out resident one is actively minding our big, berried, holly tree.

Birders of #Speirgorm: a mistle thrush in my front garden yesterday perched on my car most daylight hours. It seems to guard our big holly tree (full of berries) which it uses for its winter pantry. Is this a silly interpretation from me? Noticed one last winter, too. @naturenymph.bsky.social

The SLATED Christmas video — soothing, calming, and blissfully short (unlike the Late Latee Toy Show marathon). Sit down, have a glass of something, and browse slated.ie and support an Irish business while you’re at it. 🎄✨ #SLATED #LateLateToyShow #speirgorm #Irishbusiness Reposts would be 😍

Love this! And the young lad who makes those deserves a bit of support, too! The pocket hugs!!! 🥰🥹 #speirgorm #handmade #Christmasgifts #FeckAmazon oneofusiscrocheting.com

It will cost you nothing to share my work but it could change my year! Tis' the season for sales and corporate greed, I am just your friendly neighborhood LOI guy, a one man band making work about things we all love. You know where I am if you need any seasonal gifts 😇

Discussion on ✏️ sharpener elsewhere on here reminded me of this brilliant French linguists project who can identify where you are from down to the town (accurately)after a number of questions on words used for some common items, and how you pronouce certain words. Mind 🤯! francaisdenosregions.com

Just read David Hanley, long ago main journo on @rte #MorningIreland died today, aged 82. His voice his rigour, his gruff "alright" at the end of an interview where the interviewee was not meeting his standards... Thoughts with his loved ones, and may he RIP ❤️ www.thejournal.ie/david-hanly-...

#Entomologists of #speirgorm Is this a queen wasp? On my house facade today, 2.5cm or so long.

This is the kind of conversation which make the morass of social media occasionally worth bothering with. 😍 🚢

Came across these on a grassy roadside near Kildare Town today. Never seen those odd 'shrooms before. Any thoughts, #mycologists of @bsky.app ?
