Beirut, where construction efforts continue in one direction while in the other is an airstrike site hit in the last few hours. #lebanon

@sallyhayd Stay safe, Sally xo

Driving back to Beirut today from the south. Lebanon staying beautiful despite everything. 🇱🇧

What’s the chances the factory robots at @walkers_crisps would sponsor my May book launches and schools workshops for #RunawayRoad with some free boxes of Beef MonsterMunch? Me and Evie do love Beef MonsterMunch… pretty please??? Support the arts etc.?

@absolutelywrite @walkers_crisps LOL - I hope you have better luck than we had when we tried to get @MrTaytoNI to sponsor our Play "Christmas Lights" because the main character had an addiction to their turkey flavoured crisps...they politely declined 😢

Dahiyeh today. Report soon @IrishTimes #beirut #lebanon

Was on RTE Radio One earlier talking about the situation in Lebanon. #Beirut rte.ie/radio/radio1/c…

Important news even if it surprises nobody — NYT: “An ongoing military investigation has determined that the United States is responsible for a deadly Tomahawk missile strike on an Iranian elementary school.”

"Spain said we can't use their bases. We could use their bases if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody is gonna tell us not to use it." Spoken like a true rapist.
