Kenny's has been my go-to for online book shopping for years. An independent, family owned bookshop, on the go for over 80 years.
Great supporters of new writers. When Leonard and Hungry Paul came out I visited and thanked them for stocking it.
"We're not stocking it, we're selling it," said Tomás

A County #Waterford painting for you. I painted "Tramore" in 2017 - because I like junctions. The original went to a good home shortly after.

A professor was lecturing to his English class: “In English, a double negative forms a positive. In some languages, though, a double negative is still a negative. However, there's no language where in a double positive can form a negative.”
A voice from the back of the room piped up, “Yeah, right.”

The overnight charts for #StormÉowyn are concerning as the high resolution models show damaging gusts across the country and this could be the worst storm we have seen in years. More later.
