Today I went to Sweny's, the little Pharmacy that was immortalized in James Joyce's Ulysses (where Leopold Bloom stoppes by to buy a bar of lemon soap) and I was invited to stay for a reading of Finnegan's Wake. So much fun!
We read a few pages of Chapter 8, the Anna Livia chapter (apparently very famous). We all took turns reading a few sentences, guided by a moderator. I loved the discussions. So many Irish cultural references I'd not have gotten without speaking to locals.
I'm pretty serious about my interests😁 I may reread Ulysses when I get back home.
The lovely ladies at the reading were teaching me Irish sayings and expressions. There was one I liked, "roughly made." They said people use that to make excuses for things they might not do well because they are in a hurry.
