As in the previous lockdown, over these next 6 weeks I plan to bring you moments of music like this every few days from my cottage in the west of Ireland. For the first, a traditional Scottish tune, the Skye Boat Song. I hope you enjoy

How writing makes you smarter: A Monday thread.

It’s mental gymnastics when you have to take a fuzzy concept and transform it into words.

People have asked me in the lock down have I "Leaving Cert" in the house. No I don't. I've a funny, gregarious young lad who happens to have some exam in the summer but who is (with all his mates) so much more than a points machine! Stop this nonsense, it's driving the kids mad.
