@BexBookaholic B. My book club has chosen it as next month’s pick and I’ve already read it. Winning 😃 #BookTwitter

@MurielDemarcus Same problem in Perth. Had to get a prescription for alternative to usual patches -using for 6 yrs- only to find out after 1 mth they’ve been discontinued. Made GP appt in hope of getting third different script for oestrogen. It sucks & it’s not cheap!

@MurielDemarcus What tosh. I’m frequently inspired by runners in their 70s & 80s, members of my local masters club. If you can run, run! I’m 52 and the older I get, the more joyous I find running.

@colm_oshea That’s fantastic news. Looking forward to reading it. Congratulations Colm 😊

“As a a writer, his facility with words is too often matched by a tendency towards the facile.” I have some reservations about The Banshees of Inisherin. https://t.co/CJJdGR7lfR

There comes a time in every Irish person's life where they realise they probably won't see a train service to Dublin Airport before they die.

This is about enjoying and appreciating your body and what can get in the way of that which I get angry about https://t.co/qYryChekUm

@donalhassett1 Agree! I was so excited to see it but I was very underwhelmed in the end. It was depressing. Ripples of laughter from other cinema goers made it even more confounding. Saw it in Oz so maybe being Irish meant I saw it through different lens. Awful script. Superb acting.

@LittleHardman Saw ��& Juliet’ a few weeks ago and can’t recommend it highly enough. You’d have to enjoy music from the Back Street Boys, Britney, etc. But who doesn’t 😂

[Johanna C. Leahy @WriterNomad]

Currently reading and loving ‘Booth’. Also adored ‘Oh William’. That’s all.

As a very recent settler who is writing about a convict settler this is helpful. But really, everyone should read it.

Thrilled to have my short story in the @ReviewIndo section of @Independent_ie. Thank you to the ever-encouraging editor, Ciaran Carty, for this wonderful opportunity to impress the mammy & daddy who will tell all of Kilkenny. Hopefully😊 #newirishwriting
