Twinge of neuropathy today so a shorter jaunt to a fantastic contemporary pop art exhibition. Loved this pic which particularly captured the fatigue of illness for me. We 4get that behind the smiles many people amongst us are disguising this feeling.

Long day but loving putting the miles down in the city… so much to see! Notredame by night here - they don’t make buildings like this any more!

Stops and starts today but I’m not complaining as I’m lucky enough to be with friends in Paris, visiting my godmother who’s kind enough to put us up. Lovely walks to the Irish Cultural Centre & around Luxembourg Gardens today. ❤️🤍💙

Wow! Wow! Wow! Thanks Michelle and Tim for becoming my 100th supporter! This is AMAZING!! Also got my t-shirt finally so I can now promote the cause as i go. We’re over half way… and I say we because I wouldn’t be doing this without ye all. 💞

Toughest week by far… Reserve tank on empty after my birthday, so it’s taken a few days to find the energy to go again. Luckily the low autumnal light lured me out this morning for a long stretch across the Kinsale hills… ⛵️⚓️🌤️🌊🌅

Soulful, ethereal, misty clamber up the hills, round the lakes and down the sand-dunes of Castlefreke today… a birthday outing with my other half who has taken the day off to spend it with me overlooking the ocean. I feel very blessed. 🥳💖

Well-paced stretch with an old school friend round the Blackrock waterfront and up the old railway-line en route today. Thanks Fran. Loved the catch-up. Xx

Lunch with my bro and a meander by the beautiful old boats in Drake’s Pool today. A soft, warm, autumn wind and sunshine playing hide and seek with the clouds. I’m so lucky to have so many gorgeous places nearby to get out in the air.

City quays today. Warm breeze. Smells of fish 🐟🐠🐡 Navigation Square 1. Another of the city’s beautiful old buildings dwarfed in Modernism. I must say, I don’t completely hate it.

3.1km of running in the gym today… (bit easier on the hips than the concrete) + 2.9km walking the city streets this avo. On top of my PT session with lovely Alana from Women’s Fitness… feels good to be very slowly getting some strength back. 😊

I wonder what the word is for rain that is softer than soft? I’ll have to get my hands on Manchán Magan’s book. That’s how it was this morning up by James’ Fort. Not really raining at all but you’d be damp through by the time you’re finished.

Gorgeous route by the river Lee today. What light! I live for the beautiful light. 🩶💛🩵 Song of the day: Follow the heron home https://open.spotify.com/track/2Bdk03W23AdsSYBMSW0HIC?si=8nX4EQD8Ru6Zevfqs-qh6Q&utm_source=copy-link
