@aislingtkeogh Ah lovely. I was lucky enough to have time at the Heinrich Boll last November. Achill is a magical place. Very inspiring. I got 2 pieces published afterwards.

I am hugely grateful to @MayoCoCo for the artists bursary that allowed me to take a few days to write, think, rewrite in beautiful, and windy, Achill this week.

@damethompo It should be called Dame Street. There’s one in Dublin.

@aislingtkeogh Am trying! Was it the Heinrich Boll cottage or where were you in Achill? It’s so beautiful there isn’t it?

A previous older female coworker taught me to pause when talking or presenting in meetings if men weren’t paying attention (looking at their phones, not make eye contact, etc.) until they awknowledged the silence, looked up and became aware again- then to begin speaking again. Now I always do it and it’s always just as satisfying. Grateful for the women before us...

But it was the heavy emergence of the tortoises that would really tell me that spring had started, for it was not until winter was truly over that they lumbered forth in search of mates. . . . — Gerald Durrell, on springtime & the local scène d'amour Gerald & friends (Corfu)

Remember how we said that Daba has a cheeky side? Today, it was out in full display! While the rest of the Nursery herd quietly browsed, he decided to make his own entertainment and recruited Keeper Peter for a game of hide-and-seek. The little bull would burst out of the bush, brimming with bluster and ears flared for full effect. Once he was sure he’d been spotted, he would dance his way back into hiding, only to emerge from a new location moments later. These games speak volumes about an orphan’s healing and emotional state. As we always say, a playful elephant is a happy elephant! Little Daba is one of the newest members of our Nursery herd. Rescued in October, he is starting to find his feet among his new family. Read Daba’s full rescue story: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/daba

@TheBookshopMan @FaberBooks Is he the author of The Wall? Dystopian fiction. And this one is funny? That’s so interesting. I really enjoy his writing (if I’m thinking of the right guy!)

I have just read #LookWhatYouMadeMeDo by John Lanchester. One of the funniest books I have ever read. A laugh out loud book that is compelling as well as deliciously dark. I read it in one go. A deceptively easy read. A truly masterful piece of contemporary fiction. Go get it

@RMcGreevy1301 VdeP will come with a van and take furniture/books/clothing. But you have to have it ready to go. Try Sue Ryder too, think they provide similar. I don’t think there’s one that comes into the house and clears it for you.
