In my youth I worked in a cash and carry. I have never been as fit and thin. Scale up three shelves, I would estimate at least four times my five foot one height. Wrestle a ten kg box of Persil over your shoulder, drop it down to colleague. Yeah.

The tortie (2ish) is 100% Jane Seymour. No one fucking liked her, apart from Henry. Pitch your tent to a better queen!

I am a bit odd. I am obsessed with witches and the six wives of Henry VIII of England. No, none of them were witches, contrary to popular opinion. No one is a witch. I am channelling the cats and I think oldest boy 12?ish is C of Aragon. The middle child (9?) must be Anne of Cleves because reasons.

@8radioireland.bsky.social Well, that was a lovely little 90s interlude! I saw Tricky at some Feile or other. Timeless classics. 'Picture me giving a damn? I said NEVER'.

It's important to boycott Uber. They will use the drones that killed children, who stood in line for flour, to deliver your food order. Do not use Uber. For anything.

Jesus H. Christ. Horrifying.
There will be many more. Here's some additional background if you want to pursue further reporting on countless intercountry adoptees still denied legal rights and who are truly living in fear now in the country that brought them here without any say in the matter. www.bbc.com/news/article...
The American adoptees who fear deportation to a country they can't remember

Here are the Irish MEPs who just sided with the far-right (fascists, racists, sexists, homophobes, climate deniers) from across the EU
They've voted to gut protections that would have made businesses check and report their supply chains for child labour, human rights abuse or nature destruction

Next month legislation to ban fox hunting in Ireland comes before the Dáil. TDs have an opportunity to ban this barbaric blood sport. Will the big parties allow their TDs to do the right thing? My Irish Independent column.

I have always had a tiny bladder, have to run to the loo sometimes. I usually scream over my shoulder that I will pay for the cheapest wine in a minute. Now I have IBS. I am just running. I usually settle up after, but when you need to run, you need to run.
