Took this picture of Annagmakerrig Lake on my last night at the Tyrone Guthrie Centre, last November.

Self’s desktop scrolls between images (a nice walk down memory lane!).
This was what was on her desktop when she powered up her laptop this morning:
This bag has great emotional weight. She bought it from Macy’s on sale, in 2016. She was renting in an apartment on Stockton, and would hang out at Union Square, where she never got over how the hot dog vendor charged her $16 for an All-Beef Frank.
Nevertheless, Macy’s had some good sales, such as this bag. It lasted her several trips (which is rare, because all her bags tend to snap their handles, the way she lugs her books around — she never got into kindle).
This picture was taken in the beautiful city of Cork, Ireland. She was cooling her heels in a room above the Paradiso vegetarian restaurant on Lannister Quay.

One of self’s must-see stops whenever she is in Dublin is St. Stephen’s Green. She loves this park and its meandering paths, its leafy spaces.
She was in Dublin in late November, when the trees were turning. Here is Edward Delaney’s Famine Memorial. More information about the artist here.

Self was at the Tyrone Guthrie Centre in November. It was cold. First thing every morning, she’d open the windows of her room and marvel at the view.

When self says “lake,” there’s only one lake she can be referring to: that’s right, it’s Lake Annaghmakerrig, in Co. Monaghan, Ireland, where she spent the second half of November while she did furious revision on a novel-in-progress. (You don’t see the lake in this picture; believe me, it is there, just on the other side of that tree)

Down the end of a long, book-lined corridor in the Main House of the Tyrone Guthrie Centre in Annaghmakerrig, there is a chair, a table, and a Christmas cactus!

Storm hit yesterday, so strong that it blew self’s golf umbrella inside out, and when she tried to right the spokes, the wind hit her smack in the face with driving rain. She got completely soaked: from head to toe.
There was not one weather advisory on the news, and self listens practically 24/7. After, the weather people said this storm would make “no difference” in the California drought, even though it’s supposed to continue for several more days. GRRRR.
Here’s a picture she took last week, in Ireland. It was rainy in Annaghmakerrig, but when she took this picture, she saw a man running by the lake, wearing only track pants and T-shirt. Go figure.
