Ireland Today: The Land of Potholes and Empty Promises….
Ireland Today… What a State… We used to be called the land of saints and scholars. Now we’re the land of potholes, half-built houses, crumbling hospitals, and politicians who wouldn’t know an honest day’s work if it bit them. Families are drowning under the cost of living. You walk into the shop for a bit…

Cheaper Than Therapy…
Why do I blog? Good question. Some mornings I wonder that myself. I mean, it’s not like the internet is short on words, is it? Whole forests have been sacrificed to the ramblings of people who think the world is waiting breathlessly for their next pearl of wisdom. And yet… here I am, still typing.…

My Last Google Search: Not Your Average Recipe…
All Is a Lie: My Last Google Search We’ve all got strange search histories, don’t we? Some people type in things like “banana bread recipe” or “nearest petrol station.” Sensible, practical, boring. Me? Not a chance. My search history reads more like a conspiracy theorist’s shopping list crossed with a midnight philosopher’s notebook. So, when…

Emotional Tesco Express…
More Milk, More Messages (Apparently I’m the Drop-Off Point Now)… Earlier today, I wrote about the milk I didn’t expect to carry, handed to me by a woman at the petrol station who poured out her heart like it had been bottled up for years. I walked away holding more than a story. I was…

Spooned a Program, Swallowed a Question Mark…
Hmm… where do I even begin? I’m curious about everything. The state of the world? The real reason we’re here? Why are we born into families that trigger us like a faulty alarm system? And why, after all that, are we expected to pay bills and clap politely at weddings? I wonder… is this really…

From Bully’s Sign to Granny Frass’s Screams…
From Bully’s Sign to Granny Frass’s Screams, How Blogging Became My Unexpected Therapy.. It’s kind of funny when I look back at how this whole blog started. Honestly, if you’d told me years ago that a crudely planted sign right outside my door, courtesy of Bully, would be the thing to finally set my bottled-up…

Conversations with the Dead and Other Time Thieves…
Daily Writing prompt: Which activities make you lose track of time? Now that’s a good question! Though, as usual with me, there’s never a straight answer. 😂 It depends on the day, the mood, and what sort of nonsense the universe has decided to fling my way. Some days it’s overthinking, and before you know…

One Month In: I Had No Clue What I Was Doing and People Still Showed Up…
One Month In: I Had No Clue What I Was Doing… and People Still Showed Up A month ago, I started this blog with zero idea what I was doing. ( I had been writing thing down over the years for clarity!) No fancy plan, no tech expertise, just a gut feeling that I needed…

Episode 41 – Confession’s of a Black Sheep…
Confessions of a Black Sheep: Tales from the Other Side of the Fence You know, I’ve noticed something lately. Every time I sit down to share a story, it’s about Bully Yates – the man, the myth, the legend, now presumably running the most organized family drama soap opera. But today, we’re taking a detour.…
