@AmandaPCraig @JonathanCoe @ClareDChambers @EstherCoren @VesnainLondon @janethynne Just finished. Loved it! “When they go low, we go high.”

So grateful for all the fabulous quotes for High & Low @jonathancoe @FrancisSpufford @ClareDChambers @EstherCoren @VesnainLondon @janethynne and Rose Tremain! Out 7 May

@Lizzy11268 @TimWeaverBooks I just need Book 13 … stat!!

@Drimoley @TimWeaverBooks We may need a support group.

Finished Reading The Lost Women @TimWeaverBooks Sheer class With an ending that will make you pull all your hair out Really couldn't ask for more, well perhaps a temporary wig 😂 It'll take me a while to forgive you for that one Tim! HIGHLY recommended 🧡📚

Youngest is home, first year in college done. He’s hungover from last night, he sighs. His final exam was today 🙄

Bloody hell, @TimWeaverBooks, I keep having to put The Lost Women down just to take a breath and recover. And I still have almost 200 pages to go! What a series, and WHAT a book. Gripping from the get-go.

@rinanfafan @M50Dublin @DublinAirport Daughter made it there this morning no bother via Drumcondra and Santry.

I suppose there’s no chance of using the M50 in the early hours of tomorrow morning to get to Dublin airport 😭 @M50Dublin @DublinAirport

She was searching for accommodation apparently.

@tomdoorley @tcddublin I’ve begun to agree with Hector Ó hEochagáin who thinks that Irish in Schools needs to be divided into two subjects. Conversational and literary Irish. Everyone should do conversational Irish until Junior cert with an emphasis on communication. Literary Irish for those able

@Conac02 Americans get blamed for this but I think it’s down to their pronunciation of Patty with a hard ‘t’ so that’s how they started hearing our Paddy’s Day. Just an honest mistake, I believe.

I have NEVER heard it referred to as ‘ Patty’s Day’ ever.

I think Dublin Zoo could have come up with a lovely Mammy’s Day idea very easily….

@nialloloughlin Jailhouse Burke!

Reposting this one for the day that’s in it. Every time I post anything about Enoch Burke or the Burke family , I get a world of abuse … so I’m sure today will be no different. Anyway, here it is again. Enjoy the comments section.

Jailhouse Burke.

@BigBoyler May(o) 💚❤️

@Killybegsgirl I’m really enjoying - watched the LLS episode last night and LOVED it!!

I’m on Episode 5 of ‘how to get to heaven from Belfast’. How are we all feeling about it? Probably not for everyone, I’m guessing. Have to say, not many shows ‘stay with me’ after I’ve watch an episode. as much as this one. It’s really entertaining. Funny & entertaining.

Eldest daughter and I went to see Eureka Day yesterday at @GateTheatreDub and it was just the BEST afternoon. Laughed till we cried, then had a gorgeous dinner and I headed back to Mayo on the train. Still a couple of weeks left, can’t recommend it highly enough.

@M76Donna @AkaPaulHoward Ooh, I have the book (from the library) in my TBR pile but based on this I’ve just reserved on BorrowBox instead and will return the book.

@AkaPaulHoward Listened to the audio book and loved it.

This is an amazing book. One of the best memoirs I’ve ever read.

@NiecyOKeeffe @SeanTynan Yup, there was one in Ballina, Co. Mayo up to the early 80s

Was just saying to @SeanTynan that I have a memory of us having Woolworth’s in Ireland back in the day but don’t remember if we really did or it was just the Mandela effect. 😄

Gritting my teeth here after a mention of egg yokes in the book I’m reading 🙄🙄🙄

Slight change … blanketed couch got cosier! #Sneachta

It’s more sleet than snow, and downright rain at times. But I am still blanketed on the couch with a book. #Sneachta
