Today’s delay comes courtesy of a fan meet. it has been a long time coming, and now that I finally managed to leave the little island, I made sure to visit Kate on my way South to see Little Miss Guylty… It’s been a really fun visit, despite a rather unusual weather situation…

We had snow yesterday – on the first of April… Luckily I was travelling by train, so the snow did not really matter much…

Saturday!!! I’ve been up early because I needed to get the draw for the Porter shrine out of the way in time for the post office. So first things first – the winner has been picked, and the RAPS is on the way to… *drumroll*

Congrats, Zee. I hope the letter won’t take forever to get to you…

And now on to the round-up.

Riepu10 has made a nice static-over-gif gif of Sir Guy Astrovian has got a…

It’s been a good long time, but yesterday I was back volunteering at MoLI for the first time. It was almost strange to be in there without a mask hiding half my face, and speaking to the visitors also felt way more personal. I got such a buzz out of chatting to a young American couple who were so delighted that I could give them some information about the Irish poet they were researching… In my…

The weekend has begun and I am not quite where I want to be. Work-wise. I have a bit of a list of projects that I have to tick off, but instead I spent the morning chatting with our friend from Ukraine. Well, he‘s not *from* Ukraine but he used to work there. I mentioned him a couple of weekends ago when he stopped by on his way to Cuba. He has now returned from his holiday and is stopping over…

My great annual Social Media hiatus has started. That is a bit of a misnomer, as I am only staying away from Twitter. I haven’t been active on FB for years, so no need to rein myself in there, and IG is also not a major time-thief for me. So, since Ash Wednesday I have stayed away from Twitter, and I apologise should anyone have sent me DMs or tweeted at me there – I am not checking messages,…

The world as it is today cannot go unmentioned even here in this ‘happy place’. With Russia invading Ukraine, war has become tangible in Europe. I am old enough to feel catapulted back in the times of the Cold War. Even though I was a child back then, I was keenly aware of an ever-present threat – due to living in the centre of Europe, right at the line that marked the border between East and…

Good day to you. Hope you haven’t been blown away by Storms Dudley and Eunice. Northern and Central Europe got a bit of a battering these last couple of days. Ireland as usual gets the first hit of the storms, coming in from the Atlantic. We had the whole yellow-orange-red scale of storm warnings in Ireland, but Dublin was not particularly badly hit, thanks to its situation on the East coast.…

I’m frustrated. It all started last week when the bathroom light bulb gave out. Mr Guylty replaced it with a new bulb. So far, so good. But the new bulb is much brighter than the old one, and suddenly the bathroom looks so grimy and dirty, something needs to be done. So I was on my knees today, scrubbing the floor, washing down the walls, cleaning sink and toilet. And tbh, it looks worse than…

We haven’t had a rainy morning here in a long time, but today is rather grey and drizzly. Meh. Perfect time to do the round-up before I venture out and get some grocery shopping done.
It is time for a new round-up header. I went down the edit route this time, throw back to good old Mr Thornton. There’ll be more to see of him at the end of this post. But first – this week’s tumblr offerings.

In…

The week was really busy for me. Lots of work came in, and I was finally back to writing original pieces for my fashion blog. (It’s way more work but also way more rewarding.) I now know everything there is to know about the best sneakers to expect and invest in in 2022 . Yesterday I went back to volunteering in MoLI and had some really extensive and interesting conversations with visitors.…

Very fittingly for a long Easter weekend, I will have a bumper round-up for you today. At least I hope so. After all I missed last week’s round-up due to travelling. Let’s see what happened in the meantime…

I hope you have had your first cup of coffee this morning, because starting off with this item might otherwise knock you out. Rangerofthewestt has put together a shirtless compilation.
You…

Good morning on a spring-y Saturday. Their is a tentative sun outside my window, the first daffodils are peeking out with their yellow heads from my window box, and the great tits are tweeting in our garden. That makes for a happy start into the weekend. How far has spring come where you are?

But now, let’s look at this week’s tumblr offerings.

Starting off with some camera-cum-Levine porn, not…

It’s February!!! *phew* We’ve left the darkest month behind and are heading towards the light. Or that’s how I see it. Have you noticed how it’s a little brighter every afternoon? I’ve even had a couple of days with “lie-ins” until 8am, and it is not dark at that time anymore ☀️.

Next port of call is Valentine’s Day. Not that I am really that huge a fan of said “occasion”, but anything to cheer…

Uh, ugh, I am frustrated. My current craft project has just gone tits up and it literally looks shite. Meh. Let’s hope, this week’s round-up will cheer me – and you – up.
