Please try to leave some leaves this autumn

Last week, I royally over booked myself after hours. Sometimes it's just as important to remember rest periods as well as sprint periods. One feeds the other. ✌️

I hope you have at least one person who breathes life into you. I hope you find the time to pursue all your weird passions, stay up late reading for no reason whatsoever, drink deep of the joy of things. I hope you stay fascinated and unafraid.

why would I want to go outside and do things when I could read about other people going outside and doing things instead

I actually do have a few thoughts about coffee lady situation. I genuinely think social media has gotten us to this miserable place where folks are tired of being happy for other people. It’s the impact of comparison culture while everyone pretends it doesn’t exist.

Thank you to Rafal Kostrzewa for sharing word about the Charity Bazaar at The RDS. 🙌 It was great to see such vibrant displays of Ireland's diversity. Thanks to Amb. anna sochanska for Polish hospitality! 🇵🇱😊

Today was a good day. 🥰☘️

Visited a local vintage market earlier and one of the sellers had written tiny snippets of imagined stories on tags to accompany each item and it was so evocative and exactly the idea behind my next novel - the idea that clothes hold stories.

I know I buy far too many books but I like to think that lining my house with them wards off evil in some deeply important way.

Happy #postboxsaturday from last week on our wander to the British Museum! 💜 💌

I write in all 3 at work and let me tell you, you never knew there were so many differences till it's your day job 😂

Eek! Congrats Jan Carson. The Raptures is a fantastic read. If you have the chance to hear Jan speak about it, go. My Jan Carson collection is quickly becoming its own shelf and I cannot wait to add more. 💚

Today I was in danger of taking myself too seriously. So I decided rather than neglect what I wanted to do for what I felt I had to do, that I'd channel what Liz Kentish 💌 once told me: We are human beings, not human doings. Go gently with yourselves folks. You're the only you.

i don’t want to girlboss anymore i want to girlrest

When I was little my parents had to buy me these CDs because I'd lie in bed belting the songs from the commercials and the mashups were so horrific to them they insisted I have a proper education.

Hmm. Maybe it’s a problem that a bus from suburban Dublin into Dublin city centre takes longer than a flight to London.
