Northallerton based Lizzie Selby set up @_peachydigital single-handedly in two days at the start of the Covid pandemic, and has grown the business to its current three-strong team, achieving a 44% increase in turnover in its second year #Northallerton #PR bdaily.co.uk/articles/2022/0…

However bonus of watching Gaelic, Hi Uncle Colm 👋
How to describe Gaelic football to a Brit? After tonight’s DUB-MAY game, it’s an extreme physical game of rugby played my soccer hooligans.
That’s my hometown football team. Another campaign they’re raising awareness for using their football strip. Great work lads 👏 #check #heck yorkshirepost.co.uk/business…

Today, I’ve done a 10km round trip in the car. And I’ve seen SEVEN people clear run through a red light. There’s a whole other epidemic here in Ireland! #redisstop #baddriving @GardaTraffic
Whilst on my holidays I feel like I missed an announcement. Does Ireland now have optional mask wearing? You’d think so walking round @lidl_ireland #maskup #maskingforafriend
No, England. We don’t deserve it to come home. #laserpointer #ENGDEN

Had a great, sunny afternoon running round Phoenix Park with my girl. Only to be brought back to reality and when a teenage girl proudly exclaims ‘I actually remember to take the morning after pill this time!’ Ah, inter city Dublin.

I love from a £70 hamper you used a bag of potatoes. @MuscleFoodUK how much would you spend on a bag of potatoes?
Ok @MuscleFoodUK I’ve been trying to have a conversation with you for three days now and so far have achieved nothing. DMs, emails, tweets - none of it seems linked up and it’s not ok. #foodanddrink
Guess it’s not a very Merry Christmas for @_peachydigital
Replying to @_peachydigital
Also, sprouts totally rotten inside, parsnips furry. Stuffing leaking something odd and foul smelling. All other meat sourced elsewhere absolutely spot on, dairy products all fine - so not our fridge. So disappointed as were our young children. @MuscleFoodUK #foodanddrink

And....20 mins to do that 3.7km drive home. Thanks to my ever growing knowledge of Dublin shortcuts, lanes appearing and the one way system working in my favour. Ok, maybe Dublin, we’re on good terms now.
45 minutes to drive 3.7km. Dublin, you’re one of my favourite cities, but MY GOD. I forgot what Friday night rush hour is.
Guess I’ll take my lunch now.

Tomorrow we’re having a social distance celebration of our Covid survivors 1st birthday. Ava loves dogs. Especially bernese mountain dogs. Let’s try find @PresidentIRL Bród for a birthday pat.

Some brilliant advice for anyone preparing for a job interview in our latest podcast. Some really great guidance from Fiona Tierney, former CEO of the Public Appointments Service. Listen here: podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcas…

I’m a messy baker, it’s usually undercooked and my mirror glaze looks like a melted chocolate mess. I should be in the final of #gbbo
