🦋OK, I did it. This was my favourite platform - the one where I was most likely to find inspiring articles, beautiful artworks & dorky wit. Hoping to find something similar once again! I hope those of you I only know here will find me over there, where I remain yours, Rothweeee.

@holland_tom Tom, the Irish mss exhibition I mentioned has opened in the National Museum. A once in a lifetime opportunity for fans of Irish saints! Here's our colleagues definitively proving the Swiss mss in St Gallen were made in Ireland with Irish calves! Enjoy! https://t.co/1xDVSWDGoF

A fantastic pause in cataloguing spent incoherently babbling at Tom and Dominic about the Annals of the Four Masters and the Cathach.

Huge thanks to @RIAdawson for hosting us this morning: recording two episodes of @TheRestHistory on the Irish War of Independence with massive Friend of the Show, Paul Rouse

How can I find the relevant ID numbers for my account? Would really appreciate if a real person would get in contact and provide my account ID information.

[Emma Rothwell @Rothweeee]

@eircare Hi, I can't access app or any customer support by phone as I can only find one account number in one email, which isn't recognised. Installer told me I didn't need the phone number that came with my broadband as I wasn't using the phone service and threw the paper away.

Enjoying @totallydublin over my Sunday coffee & thrilled to see @ITMADublin's excellent publication on Pigot featured! However, as romantic as 'lost' manuscripts may be, I'm sorry to say they're mundanely catalogued & available for public consultation. 😉 https://t.co/Wkx7YeoUyL

Saw Oswald Reeves' lovely tabernacle in the Honan Chapel over Christmas... ashamed to say I didn't know he did the war memorial in the church I sing in (Phibsboro) until I spotted it in Nicola Gordon Bowe's selected writings the other day!

Very busy and tiring day helping to organise the @LaiRBG annual seminar today, but having seen this Instagram post from the wonderful Folded Leaf press, I would say our objectives are achieved and I couldn't be happier! 🫡

[Emma Rothwell @Rothweeee]

@pomuirch Alas! Clashing with the LAI Rare Books Group seminar on bookcraft. When it rains, it pours... 😭

[Rare Books Group LAI @LaiRBG]

The Annual Seminar is here! Mary Plunkett of Belgrave Private Press is making is making us all feel very jealous of her "shed" here in the lovely surroundings of @NLIreland !

Privileged to live in Ireland's maddest constituency. I'll be insulating the attic with this pile. Still waiting on The Monk to call...

@bookshopguy You're welcome!

Our tiny choir started practicing carols with hardcore banqueting hall vibes. I said I felt like I should be wearing cross-gartered yellow stockings and they laughed heartily at my joke. I feel so seen. 🥹
