Write for yourself. That’s it. That’s the magic formula. (Narrator: Of course that’s not what he did for the last 20 years; hence the journey is only *really* beginning now) #Writing #Writer #Booksky

Maybe what the world needs to fix itself is a return to widespread use of the Comic Sans font. Things were better when… #Life #Fonts

Songs I’ve recently added to the Family playlist that have bemused my kids: 1. Informer by Snow 2. Here comes the Hotstepper by Ini Kamoze No regrets. Bangers.

Just some advice for any influencers or vloggers out there struggling with sound. You don’t need to hold a tiny novelty microphone to your mouth in every video. The sound quality improvement is minimal and the drivel remains the same. You’re welcome.

I love the football fashion crossovers these days but by jaysus, sometimes I just want to see a player in the full kit for a launch. Still haven’t found one of a player in the full Arsenal 3rd kit today! (i’ll save my thoughts on 3rd kits for another rant!) #Arsenal #KitLaunch

I’m reading #TheDoomsdayClub by @kmoranwrites.bsky.social at the moment and it’s excellent. Love the wit, the Dublin background as well as the mystical and mythical references. Saving on our shelf for future reads by my kids who are interested but just a little young for it right now. #booksky

Pizza isn’t always the right answer to your problems but if you’re stuck, it’s nearly always the best wrong answer. 🍕 #Pizza

“I didn’t watch the half-time Show at the World Cup” is the new “I’m not on Facebook” And I won’t be buying anything advertised during those water breaks either! Charlatans! #FIFAWorldCup #WorldCupFinal #HalfTime

I recently became a member of the @irishwriterscentre.bsky.social which felt like a big step on the writing journey. Looking forward to writing much more in the 2nd half of 2026. Hello to any other members out there! 👋 #writing #irishwriters #irishwriterscentre

Just caught up on the last 10 days of my “daily” journal. I like to occasionally reframe my laziness as a test of mental recollection. 📔 Scraped a pass in that test, just. 😃 #writing #journal #booksky

One of the greatest pleasures of Saturday morning “Dad Taxi” duty is the one hour of uninterrupted reading time alone in the car. Great book by the way. #booksky #reading #locationreading #thedirector

Now, more than ever, feels like the right time to say how proud I am of the season @arsenalfc.bsky.social have had. All the outside noise is meaningless. This team has given me a season to remember. I care so much less about what other clubs do or don’t do. I love only my guys. ❤️ #Arsenal 🏆

As a fellow lover of #Tintin and #Asterix, this warms my heart. For some reason, I’m always a little embarrassed about citing how great those books were when I was young. Completely irrational as I still love them today. Don’t be like me, love what you enjoy. #Booksky

I’m not saying I’ve a problem, but yes, a pile of books may have arrived in the post today and as a result, doubled my “to be read” pile! Not sorry. 📚 #Booksky #TBR #Reading

I need a better official term than “Book Hangover” for that period right after you finish a great book and you’re struggling to let go and find a new one to start! Answers on a postcard. #Booksky #Books #BookHangover

Use Libraries. Read books. Feel alive. 📚 🫡 #books #booksky
