Local bookstores are more than shelves of books. They can be community centres and resources. Here’s one that I visited a while back. While it now has a new owner, it’s still local. Still valuable.
If you can’t trust your memory or the internet, who can you trust?

I read somewhere and I’ll paraphrase here that Manchán Magan may prove to be the most import cultural Irish figure of the first half of the 21st century. I think that’s likely true. He’s missed by all who had the good fortune to cross paths with him

Along the Curraheen River near its entry to the River Lee. When I first saw the bouncing ball – from a distance – I thought it was an otter enjoying the water. I’m wondering if the heron made the same mistake.

My phone told me that the day would be a sunny. It was, for at least a few minutes.

Do I need to get a new phone?
