Poem for Monday and Derry Girls

Erin's Poetry on Derry Girls 
By Lisa McGee 

The bullets being fired on the streets as I lie in my bed 
Are nothing to the bullets being fired in my head. 
Be careful, child, of the doll made of glass, 
For if you hold her too tightly, she will break, and you will bleed.

Monday was just as gorgeous as Sunday -- 70 degrees and sunny -- though I was still finishing laundries in the morning and organizing stuff from the trip. Kristen and I caught up on watching Rings of Power together (we've both seen the whole series, but we just watched season two, episode four jointly). When we went for a walk in the afternoon, the frogs were out and a couple of eagles put in appearances. 

I was sad that the Guardians lost, happy that the Yankees lost, and bored with the Chiefs-Saints game though didn't really watch it. We just started the second season of Ridley on PBS, which thankfully so far isn't as dark as the first season. But speaking of TV, here are some photos from the Derry Girls exhibition in Derry's Tower Museum, which has costumes and props, some video clips, and background on The Troubles:
