I did not know that. Thanks, it's fascinating.

Yes! I wish more people understood Hiberno-English and our colonial history as the context in which we swear. Also anyone with even a cursory knowledge of Irish literature can't but understand how wonderful and lyrical and expressive our use of swear words is!

Traditional all the way. I have always journaled since childhood but my life changed when I discovered the Bullet Journal method about 8 years ago. I use a Leuchtturm 1917 dot grid notebook.

Yes, I journal every day. It’s a big part of my strategy to stay sane! I track exercise, food, task lists, notes, gratitude, random thoughts. Some long form reflections, lists. Mix of work and leisure stuff.

Sorry, I replied in the wrong place above! I just converted some songs from YouTube and made a playlist card and it was a bit of faff but pretty easy overall. They're lovely yokes, really well designed and the daily podcast and in-built kids radio station is a bonus.

Both my boys (11 and 7) have Yoto minis and they're great. Mainly used for stories/audiobooks and for white noise at bedtime. I just tried creating a playlist card by converting music from youtube and it was easy. I'd highly recommend.

Yes, I did this too and it helped. The ballot paper is long and can be overwhelming!

Thank you for sharing. I’ve been a huge Nick Drake fan for 30+ years. This is a phenomenal cover.

A mix of all of them depending on the book and my location! I love audiobooks in the car and when out walking or running. Ebook in bed at night. Hard copies mainly for non-fiction.
