@BoyleMo I'm doing the same by tidying a cupboard.

[Maura Johnston @MauraMowillian]

@DrMaryMontague Hope your wolf journey continues well.

[Maura Johnston @MauraMowillian]

@DanMulhall Delighted to hear it.

[Maura Johnston @MauraMowillian]

@BoyleMo @SHHomePlace @berniemcgill So good to see you yesterday, Maureen. It was a pleasure to be in conversation with Bernie. And to be once more with real people.

[Maura Johnston @MauraMowillian]

@donalohanlon And what pacific point are you trying to make?

[Maura Johnston @MauraMowillian]

@DanMulhall Looking forward to buying this.

[Maura Johnston @MauraMowillian]

@ColmcillePress @SHHomePlace Looking forward to chatting to Bernie McGill. It will be good to talk about Seamus Heaney's language in Seamus Heaney HomePlace

@donalohanlon @EamonnMallie @poetryireland @IntPoetryCircle @picadorbooks Donal, as usual you have introduced me to something new. Wonderful recitation/reading.

[Maura Johnston @MauraMowillian]

@BoyleMo @gail_crowther I'm fine Maureen. Don't know if I told you I really enjoyed your interview at the Hewitt summer School. I see your allotment is thriving. I've spent the morning preparing runner beans, chard, kolhrabi for freezer. Here's our garden friend.

@NOALIBISBOOKS @CzechFruzsi Love these. Can't wait to get back to Belfast and to No Alibis.

[Maura Johnston @MauraMowillian]

@NOALIBISBOOKS Congratulations! Well deserved.

[Maura Johnston @MauraMowillian]

@BoyleMo Belated, but sincere, good wishes, Maureen

[Maura Johnston @MauraMowillian]

@donalohanlon @EamonnMallie @poetryireland Thanks for introducing me to this Donal. Superb rendering of it! Keep well

[Maura Johnston @MauraMowillian]

@DanMulhall @Dulles_Airport Know how you feel. Our grandchildren are coming over from England in August. Haven't seen them since 2019. Enjoy your reunion.

[Maura Johnston @MauraMowillian]

@BoyleMo @baabennett Hope so too, Maureen. The exhibition and cafe are open, but not the Helicon yet.

[Maura Johnston @MauraMowillian]

@DanMulhall Thank you to Ambassador Mulhall for quoting from my poem.

[Maura Johnston @MauraMowillian]

@BoyleMo I agree, Maureen.

[Maura Johnston @MauraMowillian]

@donalohanlon Hadn't heard this before. Beautiful.
