Michael D. Higgins and I declare our love

I was given a sexy award (for my fab writing), in Galway this weekend. I may tell you more later, unless the glorious rush of life overwhelms me, as usual, and tumbles me so far into the blazing future that I can't be arsed rowing all the way back.

Michael D. Higgins (poet, philosopher,  Labour Party President, and former minister for Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht), a former recipient of the same award, also attended. As you can see from the photograph (by Aengus McMahon), Michael D and I took advantage of the occasion to publicly declare our love to the vast crowd of assembled dignitaries.

Congratulations No 2

What was the award called? Did it come with a nice golden statuette or indeed a nice piece of bog oak? Or was a wheelbarrow full of cash involved?

Great to see Michael D in fine fettle. I do love that guy. In a perfect world Michael D would be Taoiseach and Bertie would run a corner shop.
