I am sounding like Cardinal Egan at Midnight Mass, St Patrick's Cathedral 2004:Thanks to Home Protect,ADS and CET Emergency for sorting out my plumbing issues. @keefwilson

@ArtyBagger It has been a spectacular year for camellias. They must love the rain.

My camellia. It’s nice, isn’t it? All I have to offer today.

@philipnolan1 I may be in love with you.

#TonightsDinner Grilled ribeye steak basted with homemade chimichurri (fresh flatleaf parsley, dried oregano, red chilli, garlic, red wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, S&P), with buttery leeks, and roasted sweet potato with red and green peppers — and a glass of Merlot.

@philipnolan1 Now you’re talking.

#TodaysBrunch Smoked salmon, beetroot with crème fraîche, boiled eggs, capers, black olives, a dusting of paprika, and toasted brown soda — agus cupán tae. 🙂

K bought me some sea bass in the market this morning. He then told me that he had got two bits of regular fish as well. Battered!

@feigherysfarm Belfast. Sorry! Have just spotted your lovely notification.

@pracatan Hi Maggie, where are you based in the north? There are a few sparse stockists … but maybe can best direct you? 😊🤞

Beetroot contains high levels of natural Nitrates that the body converts into Nitric Oxide. Nitric Oxide helps widen blood vessels, supporting healthy circulation and oxygen delivery 🩸 #nitricoxideboost #beetrootjuice #madeinireland 📷 @chefandersonbalico

Apparently it’s Paddy’s Week in Belfast. Recycling from Wednesday still not picked up whereas the lads still emptied the bins in DOWNPATRICK on Tuesday, the day itself. Well done DOWNPATRICK lads! Hope they were well renumerated.

In his prime with Man Utd, Beckham was fourth best midfielder in a mid field of four, K has just reminded me.

This is fantastic!

@dublin_damo I was just telling my husband yesterday about your brilliant recommendations. There’s another to add to the list. I think a couple of my brothers had already mentioned Uno Màs but of course I’ll take your word over theirs as any sibling should do.

Didn't take photos as I was in company, and I'm not as much of a dick as it might seem 😂, but shout out for FX Buckley in Temple Bar, hadn't been in a long time, mouthwatering chateaubriand, parents loved it too.

People who ask ‘will a United Ireland happen in my lifetime’… I never imagined being in a pub in Offaly “in my lifetime” where people were passionately roaring for England scores in the Six Nations. Events dear boy. 🇮🇪

@mariejane2020 I maybe should have precised my “childhood” stomping ground. Although …

@mariejane2020 The quarry close to my stomping ground is being excavated and I am worried for the library and salon that I left behind the gorse.

@CunnahPeter Btw, when I said shite cook I meant my mother in law!

@CunnahPeter One of the most welcoming women I have ever met. I would class her along with my mother in law who is an angel on Earth. Shite cook though.

I am so proud of mysel. It took me a very short time to find two of the things I needed in my dishevelled second drawer.

The jolliest bit of funeral conversations with my in-laws this weekend was K’s epitaph for me: “She carried on without a comma,”

@AlexKane221b The flippin’ United Irishmen. Them were the days before …

My Dad, who was born in 1906, was a UUP member, Orangeman and Presbyterian (almost the three pillars of unionism) and could both speak and read Irish. Regarded it as part of the collective heritage post partition. The family had origins in Sligo and retained links for decades.

@CunnahPeter I did find Rosemary in my drawers Although I fear that as I told you that I might have thought of bay leaves, your mother’s secret bolognaise ingredient!

@pracatan Ironic 😂
