When you're not doing so well, vote for a better life for yourself. If you are doing quite nicely, vote for a better life for others.

Wonderful visit to Kilmacurragh in Wicklow this week, visiting their outstanding gardens. Less than an hour from Dublin & they are free (part of @NBGGlasnevinOPW) Dogs welcome on lead & fab cafe. It's a hidden gem! Can't wait to watch @RTENationwide tonight which features them!

The Irish name for ‘jellyfish’ is ‘smugairle róin’, which translates as ‘seal snot’.

The elusive and enigmatic yellow form of Embothrium coccineum. Flowering now @TheBotanics. Embothrium coccineum is native to Argentina and Chile and where it is locally known as ciruelillo or notro. It forms a tree like habit. #horticulture #conservation #botanics

Still enjoying the flowers from #passiflora ‘Alwin Berger’. The great thing about this one is that each flower lasts 4 days unlike many others where they close on day 2. The front one is in its 5th day.

Ach yer auld hole. The British Veterinary Association was warning about vet shortages 4 years ago before the NI Protocol was even written. Plus the UK agreed to the Protocol and you not only voted for it but you voted for less time to scrutinise it.

We are short of vets because of the EU misuse of the NI Protocol. Let’s take control of our own internal trade and free the vets to look after sick animals.

Utter rubbish, @johnredwood. I’m a Northern Irish vet & past-President of British Veterinary Association (on run up to EU Exit). Suggest you check Hansard for the warnings I gave to Commons & Lords select committees about veterinary capacity 3-4yrs ago. – at Ballygowan, Northern Ireland

Instead of making offenders wear high viz jackets in chain gangs, how about helping them get a real job instead? In my shops we employ lots of ex offenders and they wear a shirt and tie. Same people, different approach, a much better outcome.
