What I learned is that everyone in your life has an invisible number on their foreheads, which represents the number of times you will see them again. It might be zero or one, or it could be a thousand, but it's a num-ber. We don't have unlimited time with people. I don't mean that in a morbid way. It's a lesson for us to appreciate people while we can. Don't put people off. Don't think you can make up the time later. I miss him terribly, but we always made time for each other. We trav-

Leonard and Hungry Paul cast and Director on telling a story about kindness, friendship, and the quiet heroism of everyday life - The feel-good series stars Alex Lawther, Laurie Kynaston and Jamie-Lee O’Donnell, with Julia Roberts as narrator

Am actually quite moved to read the thoughts of the actors and director about Leonard and Hungry Paul.

I honestly never expected any of this. I was just typing away for my own entertainment and a book popped out.

Hi folk - just a PSA that today is the LAST day for checking and fixing your voter registration if you wish to vote on 24th October in the Presidential Election. Just head to checktheregister.ie - it'll only take a few minutes to see if your voter registration is up to snuff.

A small fire at the front of the bookshop was started last night after rubbish bags that were awaiting collection were set on fire. The guards don’t have reason at this time to believe it was a targeted attack. Thankfully the damage was limited and everyone is safe. We are open for business as usual

A few online orders or in-store book purchases would be a nice way to support Books Upstairs after this horrible attack. Who does this? To an independent book shop?

It is amazing 🤯

Zotero is spectacular. Open source reference management software that just works. Way better than the paid alternatives and a great way to collaborate with group libraries. Also, R is joyous for stats nerds in many health-related fields.

Only just read this amazing book by @kitdewaal.com but savoured every page and didn’t want it to end. Now I want to devour all her writings #books #KitDeWaal #writers

macnas O AN TREUN - The Summoning of the Lost 9 Galway Parade - Sunday, 26th October at 5:30pm Directed by Louise Lowe with Lead Designer Owen Boss, Co-Artistic Producers of @anu_productions An Treun, The Summoning of the Lost, is a spectacular, shape-shifting parade inspired by a long-lost tale by Dracula author Bram Stoker and the haunting call of the vanished Corncrake. Discovered last year in the archives of the National Library of Ireland, Stoker's forgotten story flickers with folklore, magic and mischief. At its heart its sonic essence is something small, strange and precious: the Corncrake - once the summertime soundtrack of Ireland, now a ghost in our fields. This incredible new parade explores how our culture, memory and climate intertwine and asks what it means to hold on to what we're losing. Parade Route: Leaving from the University of Galway, Cathedral, Salmon Weir Bridge, Eglington Street, Shop Street, Mainguard Street, O'Brien's Bridge, Dominick Street. Ending at the Fire Station in the Claddagh. The Macnas Parade is funded by @artscouncilireland, @galwaycitycouncil and @researchireland. We also gratefully acknowledge the generous support of our corporate supporters, listed on our website.

We are saddened to hear of the passing of Manchán Magan - writer, broadcaster, and passionate advocate for the Irish language and culture.

Do you think someone will do a Kwaidan for Bram Stoker? Gibbet Hill - The Judge’s House - The Squaw -Dracula’s Guest would all sit really well together. AND will you ever get to Dublin for the Bram Stoker Festival?

Noisy, hungry frogs sadden farmer's life. They scare his cattle and they also eat his flannel shirt.

I am sickened by today’s attack in Manchester. Antisemitism is on the rise around the world, and we must do all we can to stomp it out. I am grateful to first responders and congregants who showed incredible bravery, and I am praying for those who were killed.
