- Happy Birthday to my amazing daughter, Hannah, who turns 21 today. Fionnuala and I are very fortunate to have such a beautiful, kind, and caring young lady. We love her very much and hope she has an amazing day xxx

- I found a beautiful, illustrated version of ‘Wuthering Heights’ yesterday in a Belfast bookstore. 75 years old but with slight staining on some of its pages. £4. Should I go back and buy it today? 😬📚
- Am I the only person who doesn’t watch what’s on the TV but likes to keep it on with the sound turned down ‘for company’ when alone in the house? 📺

- Replying to @PurelyFootball*Scotsman eats fresh vegetables shocker*
