Thank you to everyone who came to the LRB Bookshop Hagstone event last night. Douglas Stuart asked great questions, Claire and the staff were so welcoming, and Siobhán McSweeney, Maxine Peake and I are forming a band.

Day 16 is a book with an animal on the cover.
Ellen Ryan's Girls who Slay Monsters. Daring Tales of Ireland's Forgotten Goddesses.
Gorgeously illustrated by Shona Shirley Macdonald.

This is one of Dublin’s last 1903 Scotch Standard lampposts to retain its original pulley wheel in its holder near the shaft collar. This was used in the days before mechanised hoists to lower the original globe lamp to access its carbon arc rod, which needed regular replacement.

Quality short story writing advice from Wendy Erskine one of the best at writing 'em.

More promising weather today as we head from Gweedore to Sligo with some very exciting stops in between.
