the letter L 2 February 2008
As in Sesame Street, we seem to have been brought to the country by the letter L right now – Letterkenny a few days ago and now Longford…where it is snowing. Some of the lads are a bit sore they haven’t been name-checked, so here goes – Peter Daly is a fox and so is the lovely new boy Colin O’Donoghue (most awful thing there? born in 1981 when I was halfway through college EEEK).
And speaking of youth, after the show tonight I wandered into an adjoining bit of the complex the theatre is in and found myself at an 18th birthday party…it was like going over to The Other Side..really lovely youngsters but a world away…feeling ancient as a result and must get my sleep – this living business is, well, busy and it would wear you out sometimes.
The book is number 3 in the Irish charts this week so a big thank you to all who have made it so – much MUCH appreciated! And there is a reprint happening in the UK e’en as I write – again, many thanks x
