Devlin update

[maeve66]

This isn't really an update, it's just a photo from two nights ago, when she voluntarily climbed up to my bed and slept with me.








sabotabby points out that I should update with pix frequently, before she is no longer a kitten. That is a wise idea. I only have one picture of Rilke as a kitten, though it is adorbs, as the young folk say.

from Bernadette Devlin McAliskey?

[maeve66]

Yes, exactly.

My father told me about her when I was really little -- like, only two years after she became an Irish republican socialist MP in Westminster. And I've heard her speak in Britain, and talked with her afterwards. And my dad and stepmother have driven around Derry with her, and gone to a couple of pubs with her. I admire her enormously.

ditto! Well, except for the part about meeting her and that stuff.

A friend just sent me a link to a talk of hers, about thirty minutes long. Want it?
