@ElenaBee0 Happy birthday,Elena!

I celebrated my 100th birthday today. My family is not around anymore, so I baked myself a small cake.🎂 It's peaceful... yet I'm still here, still alive, still wishing for a bit of kindness. If you happen to see this, could you wish me a "Happy Birthday"?🎊🎉

@GayeMoore Best of luck with it,Gaye another great new endeavour!

Walking around Calpe today before cohosting Harmony Retreat in association with Killester travel - a lot of beautiful blue ! #100daysofwalking #round6crew #200daysofwalking

RETWEET if you stand with the Obamas against Trump’s racist attacks!

@CrazyVibes_1 Such great attention todetail,especially the hats! Good job.

My son hasn't spoken at school in four months. Complete selective mutism since the kids started calling him "the weird craft boy" who makes things instead of playing sports at recess. He's eleven and autistic, and art class used to be the only place he felt safe until his teacher told him his projects were "too babyish for middle school." He stopped making anything, stopped talking about his ideas, just came home every day and disappeared into his room with the door closed. Last week he was watching me work on snowman decorations for my online shop, these whimsical couples I make and sell for people's holiday mantels. Didn't say anything, just sat on the couch observing while I hot-glued fabric scarves and painted faces. Then two days ago I came home from work and found him in the garage surrounded by foam balls and fabric scraps he'd pulled from my supply bins, hands covered in paint, completely absorbed in creating these two figures. He'd been working for six hours straight without stopping, something he hasn't done since his teacher destroyed his confidence. He made himself and his little sister. The boy snowman has the same serious expression my son gets when he's concentrating, the same careful attention to detail in every button and hat decoration. The girl snowman is wearing pink because that's all his sister will wear lately, has flowers on her scarf because she picks dandelions for him every day after school. This is his first complete project since September, the first thing he's made that wasn't for a grade or an assignment, just pure creation because he wanted to express something he couldn't say with words. When he finished he asked if people would think they were stupid, if kids at school would make fun of them like they make fun of everything else he makes. I told him they were incredible and he needed to see that I wasn't just saying it because I'm his mom. He finally agreed to let me post this after two days of me begging, but he's been refreshing my phone every ten minutes checking for comments, needing to know if anyone besides me thinks he's talented. I buy a lot of my supplies from other crafters online, and I keep showing him their work trying to prove that handmade art matters, that people value things made with this much heart and skill. So what do you think? He's reading over my shoulder right now, hands still shaking slightly, waiting to see if anyone else sees what I see. Credit - Katie Thomson

@AccessForAll7 No,it's definitely not.

We are going to a concert in Kilkenny in December and organising a meal for after the concert. So far the first three of the “best” restaurants that have been recommended on the Kilkenny and Irish tourist sites when we rang them they said “We are sorry but we don’t have wheelchair access to our restaurant it’s all stepped access!” In 2025 is this really acceptable? @struggleiswheel

Is anybody dealing with "Fair Deal" and nursing homes? Are you being charged for lots of extras by the nursing home? How are you finding the scheme and managing financially having signed up to it? DM if you'd be able to chat with me about it please. #FairDeal Please retweet.

@mar80549 .

My humble exhibition is complete. Leave a dot to encourage me

I can’t grasp how political representatives who pontificate so often about the principles of Jesus Christ are today **openly rejoicing** about the injustice surrounding innocent people being murdered on Bloody Sunday. This isn’t leadership. This is purposefully and deliberately divisive. No matter who you are, your background or belief, violence is wrong. Murder is wrong. It shouldn’t be hard as an elected representative to say that.

@ErvineLinda Congratulations,Linda and continuing success with your work.

I felt very emotional when I read this post written by my son. He remembers who I was; a frightened, ill, shell of a person, hanging on to sanity by a thread. But I didn’t save myself, I didn’t have the strength or the ability to drag myself out of the pit that I was in.

It’s essentially FG and FF versus Catherine, and we all knew it would happen, Jim and Heather will act like they aren’t basically coming from the same party #TonightVMTV

Heather might as well have stayed at home with the amount she’s been involved. Jim hasn’t said anything of substance, at all, possibly ever. Catherine winning by a landslide. #TonightVMTV

@AgeFriendlyIrl An idea for Clare Age Friendly?

Check out this weeks newsletter below for all the latest Age Friendly news 💗🧡💛💚💙💜 ow.ly/Qlqp50X2Wlz

@GayeMoore Get well soon Gaye.

Having been laid low with flu/covid for nearly 2 weeks I needed to bring a bit of vibrancy into my life!! New colours and new techniques #gayemooreart

Great to see @IrishRail continuing to improve accessibility in train stations across Ireland with more Age Friendly car-parking spaces and upgraded facilities 👏 Following Ballybrophy train station receiving “Age Friendly” status in May, we’re looking forward to more services joining our growing list of Age Friendly accredited services nationwide. Thanks to @ShannonsideFM for sharing this story, it’s fantastic to see progress to ensure public transport is inclusive for all generations.

@AgeFriendlyIrl What are the criteria for recognition as "age friendly" stations?

Did you know Ireland is leading the way in creating Age Friendly train stations? Following the recognition of MacDonagh Station, Kilkenny as Ireland’s first Age Friendly train station in 2022, this year, Ballybrophy Station in Laois has now been recognised as ‘Age Friendly.’ @LaoisCouncil @kilkenny This also marks the official launch of @IrishRail 's Age Friendly Stations Initiative, which ultimately aims for all 146 stations nationwide to attain ‘Age Friendly’ status. @meathcoco @LGMAIreland #AgeFriendlyIreland #YourCouncilDay #DoLáSaChomhairle

Last week, the launch of the Uisneach Integrated Care Service for Older People for Longford and Westmeath, took place in the Bloomfield House Hotel in Mullingar. Hosted by Dr Siobhan Kennelly, Consultant Geriatrician ICPOP, there were many speakers and presentaions all linking into the theme of the launch ‘Transforming Ageing and Longer Lives – new horizons in the Midlands and beyond’.
