A woman on my flight yesterday switched seats with her husband because their toddler wouldn’t stop crying.
The second she sat down alone, she closed her eyes for maybe 30 seconds.
Just resting.
Not sleeping.
When the husband walked past with the kid later, he laughed and said loudly,
“Must be nice to finally get a break from doing nothing.”
A few people chuckled.
She laughed too.
But something about it felt off because for the entire flight she had been:
holding the baby,
packing snacks,
cleaning spills,
walking him down the aisle,
missing her own meal trying to calm him down…
while the husband watched a movie with headphones on.
And honestly I think that’s why so many women are exhausted.
Not because they’re doing everything alone.
But because they’re doing everything while someone else calls it “nothing.”

Ireland’s inland waterways, lakes and ecosystems face a common challenge. Lough Neagh is not a one-off. What wider island cooperation is needed for sustainable change ?

Last week, we said goodbye to our beautiful Nisha.
She came to us as a rescue, after being found as a stray, and became a deeply loved part of our family, and part of the music too, appearing quietly in so many of the cottage videos.
Thank you to everyone who noticed her, asked about her, and loved her from afar.
The music in the video is called “Nisha”, it's a melody we used to sing it to her at home during Covid lockdown, and I later recorded it on my album Solace.
She was deeply loved. We miss her so much

Happy Friday folks ✍️
Another ridiculous weekend of sport ahead 📺😂
Cup finals, final day Premier League drama, Canadian GP, Usyk and enough GAA to destroy the Tipp-Ex supply.

An explainer on a trial of facts, I covered the Ivor Bell case, difference here is that it will run along with a seperate Crown Court trial, the same jury hearing both - it requires careful reporting and nothing that could potentially collapse the case belfasttelegraph.co.uk/podcasts/donal…

@vittorioangelon Mental illness is a challenging experience, and there is no mercy online for her situation. There are no winners here, least of all for people who are unwell and struggling, and will be living with it long after this case is over.

Great to see a public figure open up and fight the stigma around mental health.
Stay strong Eleanor we’re all with you 🙏🏻

@BBCNewsNI No. Nothing to do with religion. We are at the mercy of consumption enough.

Big milestone for me today: I have submitted my final piece of embroidery for my Diploma at @RoyalNeedlework . This is my Whitework (Broderie Anglaise & Richelieu), inspired by medieval manuscript illumination.

A wonderful video of an elusive bird. His calling for a partner. Then he paused for a reply and hoped the female was on her way.

Wandered up the road this afternoon hoping to hear a Corncrake, and suddenly it was RIGHT THERE in full view - we almost never see them as well as this! What an amazing and weird bird, somehow quite like a glove puppet 😆
