@BhattiLaib9960 It’s too tight and more importantly you will not be comfortable on the big day

Dress too tight… or am I just overthinking it? I need some honest opinions because I can’t stop staring at my dress and second-guessing everything. My seamstress keeps telling me it fits perfectly and that the pull lines I’m seeing are just a result of the fabric and the structured, fitted style. She doesn’t seem concerned at all. But every time I look at it, I notice a little pulling and some bunching around the waist, and now I’m wondering if something is off. I even asked if it could be let out a little more to smooth everything out, but she said it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible. The confusing part is that it doesn’t actually feel tight. I can move comfortably, breathe normally, sit, and zip it myself without any struggle. Physically, it feels fine. Visually, though, I keep questioning whether it’s fitting the way it should. Now I’m stuck wondering if this is simply how structured, form-fitting dresses look on real bodies, or if it technically fits but could still be fitting better. If your seamstress told you it was fine, would you trust her and leave it alone? Or would you keep pushing for changes?

@real_dublindamo My first job was in Parnell Sq - happy lunch times I had in Conways and many after work sessions too

@Smartheat @thealexkates You’re nothing but a whelp (as my mother used to say)

@Smartheat @thealexkates It’s not Willie week yet Pat!

@MargaretOG66351 Appalling eye sores

Only 25 euro for plastic flowers in Supervalu in #Sutton. I can think of 25 other and better things to do with my money

@philipnolan1 Thanks for sharing Philip - just love that - Mad Men the best series ever made in my very uneducated opinion

@VinnyOBrien_ Invasive but beautiful

The Vee Pass Rhododendron ponticum is one of the most destructive invasive alien species in Irish habitats. Originally introduced in the 1760s as a garden ornamental & woodland game cover, Photo taken over the Vee Pass. Interesting fact Lismore castle is 12 km away from the Vee

@philipnolan1 I missed a lot of stuff because my x account was deleted and then decided not to bother with it for a while, so I missed that you are driving again. Just delighted for you Philip - big difference now for you. Congratulations

Some of you asked The only modification I made to my house is a grab bar in the shower, which I seldom use anyway. That’s it. I’m not great at physically writing, but I can type. I can’t feel exact temperature on my right side, and I can’t walk long distances, but I’ll get there!

@philipnolan1 And don’t underestimate your positive attitude, true grit and determination

When you have a #stroke, you have two choices, really. You can lament what you’ve lost (and let’s not underestimate that) — or you can think, it takes longer, but I can do it. I’m not dead, just different. Music gets me through, always. Well, that and food… 😂

@Sofia50020Sofia All 20 God help me

I got 8 points,you?

@FLCons I use mine at every opportunity and every possible occasion. Ok it can’t go in the dishwasher but it’s worth it!

It’s genuinely a shame that fancy silverware and proper dinnerware have fallen so far out of favor. There was something magical about pulling out that beautiful, perfectly shined set, laying it on a linen tablecloth, and instantly turning an ordinary dinner into an occasion. The soft clink of real silver, the way it caught the candlelight… it just felt special.Yet so many of us inherit our parents’ (or grandparents’) fine silverware, only for it to sit tucked away in a wooden case or cupboard, never seeing the light of day. So tell me if something this pretty landed in your hands would you actually use it for special meals… or would you think “it’s too nice, I don’t have a reason”?

@ItaAnderson46T Looking gorgeous Ita

Head sorted part 2 😇

@GardenerFliss If but it were only one patch!

Today is the day ! I am Launching my new project ONE PATCH WILD The idea is beautifully simple. Dedicate a small area of your garden to nature. Let native flowers bloom, allow grasses to seed, add a log pile, or simply mow less often. What may look untidy to some can become a thriving ecosystem supporting local wildlife. You don’t need acres of land. You don’t need specialist knowledge. You just need one patch. Imagine if thousands of gardeners each gave back a few square metres to nature. Together, we could create a network of mini nature reserves stretching across towns, villages, and cities a living corridor for wildlife. I will be posting garden plans and planting lists each week, ideas and results. Please share if you can find a little minute in your day. We can make difference if we hold hands. @BenGoldsmith @GWandShows @GdnsIllustrated @CountryfileMag @HighgroveGarden

@philipnolan1 Good for you Philip - go go go! Essential to get off the island occasionally especially as you were so used to traveling.

My friend and his wife have invited me to France, Belgium and the Netherlands in August. I think I’ll go, even for a few days. My family have anointed me! I’ll need assistance in the airport, but I need to get off this rock!

@real_dublindamo Absolutely fantabulous - one of my fav things

Fishing on my brother's boat in Wicklow this morning, we caught some herring, a phenomenal fish when freshly caught, just coat them in flower and pan fry.

@Louisehassan4 @MaterTrauma The pain is worse than childbirth- honestly thought I was going to die and I passed out it was so bad - get it out definitely

@MaryFTyrrell @MaterTrauma My gallbladder full of “sludge” and stones, and so probably need removing and I wouldn’t mind as the pain is excruciating isn’t it!

So I came to A&E at 3 am and it’s an issue with gallbladder. That’s why the pain was so acute. A much better experience this time and would appreciate any positive thoughts that it’s going to be a positive rather than negative outcome. 🙏 to the staff at the @MaterTrauma

@earthcurated Love a bit of fruit cake every so often

Is there anyone who actually likes fruitcake?

@martylyricfm @RTElyricfm Happy birthday Marty - just 💕 you - keep on rockin

Overwhelmed by all the gorgeous messages sent in this morning. Thank you to Johnny B. Broderick for these words, and to Seán Keane for the reading. @RTElyricfm

@hashjenni Definitely does change the perspective

Be honest… When you find out someone supports Trump, does it change how you see them? Like… does the respect shift a little, or not at all?
