scribes 1 August 2009
I heard today about a friend’s elderly mother who has washed, dried, ironed and packed 4 sets of pyjamas in case she gets swine flu and has to go to hospital – now THAT’S planning. Me? I just know that I SO don’t want it and am hoping that amount of resolution will do as protection…
Housekeeping – I have called the festival in West Belfast by an incorrect name in Forthcoming Events, so here’s the actual info – next Thursday afternoon I will be taking part in Scribes at the West with Alexei Sayle and others as part of the Feile an Phobail Festival. We’ll be doing the event at the West Social Club on the Falls Road at 4pm (though the doors close at 3.45)
On Tuesday the wonderful Sue Johnston and myself are appearing on BBC Breakfast to talk about series 3 of JAM AND JERUSALEM – yes, transmission is nearly upon us…just a week to go…I’m as excited as anyone, I think, to see how it all turned out.
MISSING YOU ALREADY is number 7 in the Irish mass paperback charts this week, which is great – many thanks to all who have bought it – hope you are enjoying it too.
