It rained, and it rained, and it rained. It rained so hard that Christopher Robin stayed indoors most of the time, and thought about things. Every morning he went out with his umbrella and put a stick in the place where the water came up to. ~A.A.Milne

The 'b' in 'subtle' totally is.

Etymology of the day: ‘dog day afternoons’ are so named not because dogs seek out the shade, but because, during the hottest days of summer in the northern hemisphere, the Dog Star Sirius rises with the sun.

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little."

‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.”

So a napkin is a little tablecloth.

Bina Kelly (born 1902) was a 'handy woman' or bhean ghlúine (literally woman of the knee) who went out in all weathers, to deliver babies in Galway at a time when the belief that babies were found in the cabbage patch was still prevalent.
Indeed, some thought babies sprang from the midwife’s medical bag which explains why Bina’s bag once went missing. The guards were even called in to help find it.
When it resurfaced about a week later, so too did the story of a couple desperate to have a child. Bina had delivered a baby and the people next door wanted one too, so they took the bag, hoping that would help.
Their plight was understood because, as local historian and curator of a new exhibition Emma Laffey explains, if there was one thing that characterised Bina Kelly and all the community midwives, it was their kindness. They all had “oodles” of it.
Volunteer, health-care assistant and mother-of-six Emma Laffey could not be better placed to tell their story which she does with exceptional care in 'Mary Ann Fanning, Remembering our Community Midwives: which opened at the Museum of Country Life yesterday.
See Irishwoman's Diary in the @irishexaminer tomorrow.
I'll also be tweeting about the women rescued from obscurity by Emma Laffey.
She's written an award-winning e-book about our handywomen.
Here it is:

The exhibition is a project by the Irish Community Archive Network (iCAN), researched and curated by Emma Laffey, Skehana & District Heritage Group, County Galway, with support from co-curators Dr Éimear O’Connor, Director of Collections & Access, National Museum of Ireland, and Lorna Elms, iCAN Development Officer.

Could any picture sum up our new men’s rights movement better? The smirk of a male who’s knows he’s protected by a misogynist sporting establishment enjoying the distress of a woman he’s just punched in the head, and whose life’s ambition he’s just shattered. #Paris2024
