I’ve been converted by my bird song identification app. I’ve now seen Fish Crow in Florida and a European Goldfinch in Dublin. I love listening to the sounds of Spring.

Really enjoyed my latest book club book. Now You See Us by Balli Kaur Jaswal. #booksky I love these books that give me different perspectives and insights to worlds I don’t know.

It’s St Brigid’s Day, Imbloc & traditionally the first day of Spring in Ireland. I disagree but am on the losing side here. So, I’ll just make my cross and enjoy my bank holiday.

Jim Acosta just powerfully announced on air he is leaving CNN with the words: "It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant." He added, "Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope." Amen. Jim will be missed.

Definitely go see this! We went twice. I remember a friend saying his wife got tickets to this modern dance thing and he wasn’t so sure about it. Of course the next day he came in blown away!
Absolutely delighted and excited that we get to do this show again. Especially because I think it will resonate particularly keenly with the current state of the world
Can’t wait!

Sometimes I miss Thanksgiving dinner. Not enough to cook one mind you, but I could really go for some pumpkin pie right now. I hope everyone enjoys the food!!

Less than 1 week to go in the #ge24 and I’m still working out who to vote for. I am privileged to vote in Ireland, but I’m still exhausted from the US election…

Enjoying watching Crá on @tg4.bsky.social . Expanding my Irish language skills to crime drama after knowing mostly sports terminology.
