7 years ago today our family had a life changing experience. My better half @nigelpim gave his Dad a kidney. Both are still going strong. #GiveLife @IrishKidneyAs #beadonor #livingdonation again thanks to docs & nurses in Beaumont.

@PadraigBelton There’s a great one in kilmeadan

I wrote a story, AGES ago, about dairy farmers who were setting up their own dispensing machines to save on distribution costs. But, I’d NEVER SEEN ONE until a few weeks ago in Gloucestershire. Got a strawberry and cream milkshake, for the drive to Heathrow. So I give you: moojoy

@frillyflossy Eldest left Mayo at 2pm. Had to drop his work car to Ashtown. Then driving to Waterford. Still not home. I’m a mess.

@JeniPim Oh no I hope they make it via a de tour of some sort. We basically live on the N7 but don’t need to head anywhere out of Kildare for the next few days so aren’t personally affected. (Yet)

Can’t sleep, so scrolling today’s offerings on here. My take on the past 24 hours of “opinion” • Two things can be true at once. • Critical thinking & nuance are non existent. • Some people have very “convenient”short memories. • Nearly EVERYONE is pissing me off.

@philipnolan1 I have done something similar. New boiler. Filled tank.

I spent €3,100 today on a new oil tank and boiler, and €520 on 300 litres of kerosene because I had to rather than because I wanted to. €3,620 — how was your Monday? 🙄

If there's anyone out there who knew Michael Campbell, 4th Baron Glenavy (and brother of Patrick), please DM. He was born in Dublin in 1926, educated at Castle Park and St Columba's, author of Lord Dismiss Us (1967), spent his latter years in London. RTs appreciated.

@Shauns_Aviation Thank you SO MUCH for explaining it clearly.

I think it’s important to add context to this situation involving a US bomber transiting Shanwick Airspace; The aircraft was flying west to east through the Shanwick Oceanic Control Area, which is a large portion of international airspace over the Atlantic, not Irish territorial airspace which usually extends 12nm from land. Under arrangements by the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), controllers from NATS and communications staff from AirNav Ireland MUST provide air traffic services to aircraft in that airspace to maintain safety and separation. Under ICAO annex 11, ATC cannot simply refuse to communicate with or manage an aircraft transiting the sector, including military aircraft for political or legal reasons - as doing so would be a safety issue for civil traffic sharing the airspace, the state is responsible for the safe movement of aircraft in a neutral manner. If this was over sovereign airspace however, the state has every right to refuse the aircraft transit through airspace unless in emergency situations. This is not a counter argument to the sole point of the article, simply providing context to allow for an understanding of the situation not led by emotion over fact. #aviation #avgeek #Travel #News #USAF #Shannon #Us #Military #Ireland

@AMLaCassePhoto Sending you strength.

This is the hardest thread I have ever had to write. As you all know I've been diagnosed with Rectal Cancer. It has spread, rather aggressively to my Liver and various bones. Yesterday before my chemo we met with the consultant as I had a couple of questions.

@Dawn_Galway 😔 feel better soon

@deirdrenugent4 It is excellent….

I'm watching Run Away. I didn't have my glasses on. I thought James Nesbitt was George Clooney.

@Killybegsgirl We ate at Il Fornaio before we went today, they do pizza and pasta- not cheap but nice staff and easy to book. Show was INCREDIBLE

I’m off to see moulin rouge at the start of Jan with my daughter. It’s the matinee and I’m just wondering if any nice restaurants near bord gais theatre? We’re staying in the marker hotel. Menus there look too fancy for my daughter!

@frillyflossy OH NO

Vomiting Bug has arrived and taken me out 😭

@frillyflossy Merry Christmas!

Back from the BMJ Awards and grateful that our study on civilian war injuries in Gaza was awarded Research Paper of the Year AND was the most accessed article of 2025! We hope these findings continue to help inform clinical, humanitarian, and public health responses.

@philipnolan1 @yvonnejones100 I still struggle to cook for myself. And it’s nearly 5 years. But @philipnolan1 is right. Some nights I try make something that comforts me.

@yvonnejones100 I won’t tell you what to do, because we all grieve in different ways, but maybe one day a week you could make something special for yourself, and build from there. x

#TonightsDinner Spinach blitzed with crackers and olive oil, with mango and red chili flakes, minced prawns, and avocado and green pesto, topped with prawns and dill, dotted with capers, more pesto and lemon. And a glass of water. 😇

@philipnolan1 🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾

This probably doesn’t mean much to you, and nor should it, but a friend has collected me left me alone for an hour to have a mooch around Dunnes, and it feels, well, normal. I’m a little reliant on the trolley for stability walking, but I’m fine. Another milestone reached!

@GazSmith_Chef My absolute FAV

Plans are afoot for a special charity night that’ll have me back in the chef costume, pots on, pans flying If you’ve been craving that OG buttery Seafood Platters, creamy pints, the full nostalgia trip… And yes, this caramel butter is back for 1 night only Watch this space..

@MaryMc_31 I send my kids a card every week. When R was in the Netherlands and Sweden I sent him a card EVERY week for 6 years!!! My grandmother did the same for me when I moved with Nigel to Cork

7%. This utterly depresses me. An Post has made sending letters and cards so expensive that the joy of sending and receiving Christmas cards, for e.g. is becoming less and less each year for us.
