Discovered Louise Erdrich through this book. A really great author. It’s lovely when you read some one’s work and gain whole new insights and perspectives. Brought her world alive to me.

That’s lovely,

Thank you for trying to find hope. Will it ever end though really? Laois is going to float down to Cork soon.

Irish potato bread is easy to make and you can freeze them for 3-6 months. Either cooked or uncooked. Loads of recipes if you search online

Such courage these women have.

It seems like the whole world has forgotten Afghanistan 🇦🇫
I never see reporting about the atrocities that Afghan women and girls in particular, but also Afghan men and boys, have to live with daily. It’s a country operating gender apartheid, with no consequences.

This is a great way to include everyone in watching sport

I cannot imagine how hard it must be, to try to live a full happy life as a person of colour in America. My thoughts are with you and every good and decent person living in America.

Book is One Day everyone will have always been against this. Author is Omar El Akkad.

Sat to read this book and could not stop. I will reread again in the coming weeks. It should be required reading for everyone.

The Stranger Times by CK McDonnell is the first book in a funny fantasy series. I enjoyed the snarky dialogue.

Me and my sisters always give each other chocolate oranges. Kids are not allowed to eat them. Don’t like the mint one’s though. Has to be orange.

Beautiful poem,

I would hope that @theresthistory.bsky.social would have the common decency to withdraw this episode of their podcast rather than adding to the far too long list of men who treat this grim butchery of women as an exercise in deduction.

Read this instead

9 years since we became a family through adoption. Blessed and grateful.

Great Irish company, great service and, most of all, great craft products.

This is disgraceful. Nurses are highly trained and qualified professionals. USA devalues their profession.

Beautiful.

Happy birthday. Pretty good life lessons to have gather up.
Mine, if someone asks how I look when out, if there is something wrong that can’t be fixed in 5 mins, always say “you are only gorgeous”
Why ruin their night out.

Really glad this has happened. Dervla Murphy was fascinating and her books are a joy to read.

I get that the world is in an uneasy place right now. I will however never understand that there is so little outrage about the Taliban in Afghanistan. They have banned books authored by Women now, no leaders in the Western world seem to care. It’s just so awful.

His books were massive, great door stoppers. His book Trinity is based in Ireland.

I remember our house had a lot of the author Leon Uris. Never see his books anywhere now.
