I tried out @colm.bsky.social ‘s lovely recipe and it nearly worked. I guess I didn’t whisk enough

Nowhere as nice as yours, but still very pleasant, and given I can never flip them on the pan, handy to be able to use the cooker. Thanks for the recipe

So so sorry to hear this Naomi. What a shock for you

Too late for Eileen Dubh Ní Chonaill? Lament for Art O Laoghaire a key text

That sounds terrific - what time period is suggested by early modern?

#earlymodern if I were to (note the conditionals) edit an anthology of verse by early modern women, what would you want to see in it? And what would you want it to do that isn’t covered by current options?

A plate of cookies and a note to the guest

Thanks so much to the Braat Hotel in Morocco for making this writer feel very welcome #irishembassymorocco #arlenhouse50

Or submerging artists for that matter 😀

Goodness, I thought it was just me! Yet another generational quirk ( in them, not us 😀)

Anticipatory grieving? Similar to grieving elderly parents who are still with you (not that you are at that stage!)

Catherine Connolly has no shortage of fine Galway women poets she could quote from - Mary O’Malley, Eva Bourke, Tita Ann Higgins, Sarah Clancy, Caitlin Maude - I hope she will

Thanks so much, Shauna!
