#Thursday afternoon treat to set me up for the #weekend; a blow-dry with Betty. I shuffled in after work & she worked her magic- a head-massage, plus a cup of tea & a couple of #Thornton’s chocolates 🍫 & I felt well revived. Thanks @bettysplacebelfast_ ! 🙏🥰

Flip me but today I was BLUE!! I kept trying to feel positive but I was ratty & grimmed out. 🤬 This made me smile however. My friend Maureen Boyle made this little pond in her garden. The birds ❤️ it, & although it’s very new, she’s already noticed many tiny creatures moving in. 🐦Apparently the birds will drop in seeds which will flourish into pond plants within a year. 🌱It’s truly the small stuff that matters & I’m determined to look forward to Spring & make my garden a bit more bird and insect friendly. It might stop me being so inward looking & self absorbed, which I find happens to me when it’s dark & cold. Thanks for the inspiration Maureen!#smallchanges

I wrote a poem for Ashling Murphy after going to the vigil on Friday in Belfast. 🕯⁣

Before she went down to the Grand Canal⁣
⁣
I wonder if she chanced to run early,⁣
catching the last of the winter sun⁣
before darkness fell,⁣
snuffing out the light. ⁣

A beautiful vigil in memory of Ashling Murphy this evening in #belfastcity, but what a tragedy it had to happen. 12 days into 2022 & one woman already murdered- when will it end? #shewasgoingforarun

🌊Yesterday we finally made it to the beach & the froth & the foam & roaring waves were a balm for the soul & a wonderful way to bring in 2022. So thankful for good friends this year & looking forward to brighter days ahead & plenty of time by the seaside. 🏝

I love @indiefude on the Ormeau Road. Today their coffee machine was broken but the chap was still remarkably cheery & when the brownie I wanted got stuck to the other one he just bunged the two in the bag & said, ‘There you go sure, Happy New Year.’ How very lovely. 🥰

🎄I can heartily recommend ordering yourself a pair of pyjamas a size up from what you usually wear for Twixtmas lounging. I never want to wear anything else which is unfortunate as I gotta squeeze my increasingly rotund form into some class of a work outfit next week, & the thought of it alone is making me want to comfort eat. 🍔🌭🍕Link in bio.

🙏Feeling very #grateful that Tilly the greyhound went outside to pee this evening. Last night the little princess deemed it too wet & refused to venture out, which is why my yoga mat is now in the bath, since she urinated extensively on it instead. And that was after we bought her a lovely ‘cuddle-pillar’. Happy Boxing Day to me. 😬

Check out my beautiful blow-dry- a bit of pre-Christmas sprucing up was just the ticket to send me on my merry way before tomorrow’s festivities. I can highly recommend @bettysplacebelfast_ if you need your locks tamed. The girl is a ⭐️.

🍽 And lunch with these lovelies in @shedbistro. I think the only way to get through the Covid nightmare is to seize every chance for merriment. Praise must also go to my very organised husband who ensures we’re well-stocked up on lateral flows.😬
