😁Would u look at this happy happy! Just to redress the balance, here he is with his new gadget, which makes your can of Guinness taste like a proper pint. And yes, this is the real thing, not the zero alcohol version which caused such opprobrium last month!! 🍺. EDIT: for those asking he picked his up in winemark yesterday, and says to ask behind the counter for them

🎨Have you heard of ‘dopamine dressing?’ Well, turns out it’s a thing, trying to dress yourself happy when it feels like the world has gone to s**t. ⁣

🐆Here I am going a bit Bet Gilroy, mixing bright pink & leopard print with scant regard for whether it’s a bit much. What do you reckon, trendy or trashy?⁣🤨❓

🐪Sure it’s hump day; why wouldn’t you need cheering up? ⁣

🍷Earlier I popped into @the_vineyard_belfast. (I know it’s a Monday, please, don’t judge me. One of those days.) 🙈Anyway, the lovely staff insisted that I bring Tilly in, & fed her treats & made a MASSIVE fuss of her while I picked up a bottle of Pinot Noir. One of the staff, (another Helen) also has a greyhound so Tilly was shown all the love. ❤️ And I didn’t drink all the wine. Honest. Just 2 glasses & it was DELICIOUS. 😋

♻️I’ve always found it difficult to discard old greeting cards, especially those I have a sentimental attachment to. This has made it much easier tho- popping them into a bag of handmade period pads with a positive message for the recipient with @shared__threads.

Beautiful day at Sir Thomas& Lady Dixon Park for the annual #globalgreyhoundwalk. 140 sight hounds turned up - not too shabby! Tilly had a grand old time. LSB had to convince me not to add to the menagerie. Sorely tempted when I saw a couple of retired racers. I’ll work on it… 😉

📚 I just finished this & I am WINDED. ⁣

❤️ Heart-stopping stories rendered in O’Farrell’s exquisite prose- unputdownable & inspirational. A terrific read.

*Throwback Thursday * This time last year we were heading to The Sandhouse in Rossnowlagh- a final summer fling. ☀️Can’t wait to get back. Thanks to @beamc2016 for the beautiful dress which I’ve had many a turn out of for #secondhandseptember. 🍁

🧥This jacket was something I would never have thought of to choose, but I find myself reaching for it over & over again as I head to work, or in this case, out to play! ⁣🥂

Just ate the whole tin of this, with a wee piece of leftover apple pie. It made me ridiculously happy. Can’t recommend an #oldschoolpudding for #brunch enough.

Yesterday, my new #dvfdress from @dejavubelfast popped in to see the fabulous @finzohoy. Here we are standing in front of a pizza oven that her other half built himself. 🍕How clever is that?

👩‍🌾 Fionnuala is the green fingered guru behind many a vegetable plot & window plot in leafy South Belfast. She’s highly skilled at growing interesting veg from seed, is Fionnuala, which is how I managed to have a pot of thriving black chillis on my windowsill which I haven’t yet managed to kill. ⁣
⁣
Taking me into her greenhouse, she had aubergines, 🍆 cucumbers 🥒 & interesting little cucumelons which taste like a fusion of watermelon & lime & taste great in a gin. ⁣
⁣
🥒🌱She sent me off with beetroots plucked straight from the soil; damsons the children gathered from where they had fallen on the grass & a courgette with aspirations of becoming a marrow. 🥰As always, I’m so grateful for the generous & talented souls in my community.

Ach no! My nerves are wrecked listening to @shaun_

Ach no! My nerves are wrecked listening to @shaun_keaveny_show sign off. Then he goes & plays this & I’m all a bit teary tbh. It’s so funny the way your radio become a part of your family, especially over the pandemic. ‘Is that Shaun on?’ The wee ones will say, what’s he complaining about now?’ He’s become part of the fabric here. We’ll miss him. There has been enough change Shaun- what are you doing to us?

🥰 It’s like stepping into a world of loveliness, not least because of the great chat I had with owner Ruth Seaby. ⁣

🌞 Two weeks ago we were about to head to Galway for a break in @thetwelvehotel. And yes, can’t recommend enough: total worth the yawnfest of a journey to get there. ⁣
⁣
🌊 After wading into the sea in Bundoran & getting my skirt soaked & sandy, I picked up these shorts in @oxfamgalway for €3. Two weeks later and I think I must’ve worn them a full #30wears already. I’m determined keep the jeans at bay until Oct! Let’s see how I go. ⁣

Jumper is from @oasisfashion , via @concernworldwide on the Ormeau road. ⁣

😡 If my smile looks a little forced here it was because it must have taken us three goes to leave the hotel room, after the usual hunt for everything. ⁣
