Will I find that in the Tesco in Letterkenny

Want to make certain I have plenty of time for my champagne picnic

vintage Heidsieck I hope.

That little red ball bobbing up and down annoys me far more than anything ever written here.

The wasp bobbing up and down is not much better! What sunset, it will be thick with mist and rain on 31 July/1 August. Now if Leonard were to play on the Mizen or Beara we could guarantee sunshine.

I am all for common sense, surely we can all live with a bit of banter and dare I say, mischievousness, ó am go h'am. One thread fits all, says I, it is easy to skim over the bits that are not relevant. That little red ball bobbing up and down annoys me far more than anything ever written here.

I found a copy of this book in a 'brocante' – second hand store – in the middle of rural France some twelve years ago. I have Ondaatjes signature, he came to the Kilkenny Arts Festival in 1989 or 1990. The signature is on a book of his poetry, The Cinnamon Peeler though, not the LC book. I have read...

Villanelle For Our Time, even though the words are not by Leonard but another Canadian poet, Frank Scott, is very special too.

Sandraa, how far is Yeats grave from Lissadell House?

Down by the Salley Gardens!

Ticketmaster have put up more tickets for Saturday Concert 31st July. BlockB. Looks like I am going to be stuck with my six Saturday tickets then. My mail has not been buzzing with interested parties and if there is another block of tickets on sale . . . A dedicated Sligo meetup thread is a good id...

Brandon Books in Dingle are publishing a nice guidebook in the next few weeks entitled Yeats and Sligo (author Kevin Connolly, ISBN 9780863224195) which I think would be a good one for visitors to Sligo, gael agus gall, to have a look at, especially if they are intent on a crash course in Yeats.
