You're not gonna believe this - I've walked the streets of Geneva for HOURS for 2 days now (in between the practising) and I just fell in love with this beautiful building with huge old windows built actually on the river...1/2

A beautiful evening was had in Limerick last night! A heady mix of language, poetry, commentary, music & song...food for the soul!!! It was so special for John & I to curate music in response to the poems, and lovely that John read one of Heaney's translations in Irish.🫶 @poetryireland.bsky.social

My bam case has been through A LOT over the years...however it had this anxiety-inducing flaw where the lock would re-set and I'd have to sit and go through the combo until it eventually opened 😱 So my big brother removed the lock mechanism and sneakily inserted a Z O E instead 🤩 I 💙 it!! #Fiddle
