I just don't get this. The dubs broke hearts all over the country. No matter who they were playing the rest of the country defaulted to supporting their opposition. How can that switch into voting for their manager? #Áras2025 ##SpeirGorm

That feeling when you go into a shop to buy a birthday card and come out with a book that has you so angry you're ready to lead a revolution. Hell yes.

I was resolute in my belief that I merely tolerated the family dog. Then I found myself scooping a mangled version of him from under a car and realised he is the love of my life. Reader, he survived. I have no idea how. Now I’m making him chicken broth instead of frowning at him.

I urge you all to have a read of this. Women are the organisers. Women are the hand laid on the shoulder of the woman doing the organising. We've all had this conversation with ourselves. Together we get stuff done. Utterly brilliant
