I was not going to post tonight, but I have to. I have to try to explain what I feel, to try to let those of you who are not here in Ireland today understand what this extraordinary day has meant to so many. Large numbers have spent the past week listening in despair to … More I’ll have a drink while we wait!
It is hard to write anything tonight as my stomach is in knots. Tomorrow is voting day. The simple question ‘Should we extend marriage rights to gay couples?’ has become complicated. Only a few months ago there was a large Yes majority, which has been greatly reduced since the mischievious addition of the welfare of … More One more sleep.
I wrote a story last February, which was published in ‘The little book of Love’ anthology. It is, to date, the story I have enjoyed writing most, and the one whose characters I continue to think of.

In the weeks leading up to her departure from New York, the German embassy in Washington posted a warning to prospective passengers in fifty newspapers. Many passengers were worried but … More The day 1,198 died.
My country is about to be tested. In less than twenty days I will know if the Ireland I live in is the country I believe it to be. I will know if we live in a society of inclusion and equality, or if in fact we remain the country of ignorance and bigotry we … More Ireland, make me proud.
I made it. I’m a finalist in four categories in the Irish Parenting Bloggers awards. I’ll fill you in better tomorrow (when I put down my glass) but I really wanted to let you all know asap, especially all of those of you who took the time to nominate me, I’m beyond thrilled, and if … More I’m a Finalist!
I have been writing this blog for a little over two years. In that time I have spent a part of every day thinking of a post, writing a post or wishing I was writing a post.
