I always miss Galway around now, but there is also too much going on here...one of these years.
On another note, are you or any of the class you're still in contact with going to the reunion on 29 August? I'll be in Galway then heading to the island the next day.
I replied to you on LinkedIn, but I wasn't even aware there was a reunion! I actually have four separate graduation years from the University of Galway. Not bragging, it means I don't tend to think about it. I haven't been in recent touch with many of them. Are you going? I'd be delighted to meet you for lunch, however!
People who mind an artist mentioning their success more than a few times aren’t worth worrying about. There are some people on here who consistently write “some of you might not know that I…” and then proceed to repeat themselves for what feels to me like the fiftieth time. And you know what? I never mind at all! Why? Because some people really might not know and my seeing it again does me no harm at all.
Case in point: I now subscribe to far too many Substacks to keep track of, which is why this is the first I’m hearing about your success!
So don’t be afraid to repeat it a few more times for the laggards like me! (And it’s not self-praise, it’s a service to other mortals who can never keep up with everything all the time – but who would be cheered to hear the news)

Thanks, Katie-Lee. A useful note, 'my seeing it again does me no harm at all'. ✨️
Every time I see you mention your nomination my heart smiles - keep talking about it please! 💕
