Stop hiding your startup idea because you think someone is going to steal it. Instead: 🔶 Focus on getting customer feedback. 🔶 Focus on getting market feedback. Because ideas are worth zero Execution is worth millions #buildinpublic
Happy birthday to us. Today is the 315th anniversary of our official opening to the public in 1707. If you'd like to wish us well, please retweet these images of our little library.
Hotels take note; there's always paperwork to fill in on arrival... ♿users check-in like everyone else. Your reception desks should have a lowered counter top section. It's not a lot to ask for & makes us feel more welcome 👌🏻 Exhibit A ⬇️ #FirstImpressions
Good evening! It’s that time of year again where I round up some things I thought were touching, lovely, silly or gas this year. God knows we could all do with the distraction right now 🤪🤪🤪 So sit back, relax and dive in. Hope you enjoy 💕

Every book launch ends with a wee tipple, right? So I'll end today's launch with a Viking toast. The common Scandinavian toast Skol! (or skål) originated with the Vikings. Visitors to Scandinavia should take this toast seriously. (1/2)
"The chief obstacle to a woman's success is that she can never have a wife. Just reflect what a wife does for an artist: Darns the stockings; keeps his house; writes his letters ...It is exceedingly difficult to be an artist without this time-saving help" - Anna Lea Merritt 1900

Did you know the Vikings gave us many romantic words such as kiss, hug, honeymoon, handfast, and husband? This week on Wordfoolery I take a look at hug - a surprising word legacy from the Vikings. #etymology #WordsTheVikingsGaveUs wordfoolery.wordpress.com/2021/08/23/vik…
From akimbo to yule, "Words the Vikings Gave Us" is Wordfoolery's latest book about English #etymology, this time about the Old Norse influence on the language. Pre-orders open 23rd August and here's the #CoverReveal! Nothing says #Vikings like a longship and forest green, right?
Ahoy! Scuttlebutt, booty, footloose, baggywinkle, cenotaph, galoot, gizmo, calenture, moonraker, buccaneer, skyscraper, gongoozle, bikini, groggy, avast! Some of my favourite nautical words from "Words the Sea Gave Us". #etymology amzn.to/2D3bSi7
A year ago today "Words The Sea Gave Us" ebook went live on #KindleBooks , #Kobo, and #Apple. Reviews say "Really interesting to read about the origins of so many words I didn’t realise were connected with the sea. Highly recommended!!!" Buy links here - wordfoolery.wordpress.com/my-books/
In 1968, the NMI commissioned Michael Conneely of Inis Oírr #Galway #Ireland to build a currach. The Museum wanted to record the increasingly rare skill of building a currach. This step-by-step guide shares the process documented by the NMI over 8 days - museum.ie/.../Making-a..…

If we really want more young women to run for public office, urgent legislative reform is needed to ensure that maternity & paternity leave is afforded to politicians. I only took 8 weeks for both of my boys - and wish I could have taken more! 0 weeks for politicians is wrong.
When Sinead sings "I can eat my dinner in a fancy restauraaaaaant" it's supposed to sound sad but in 2020 it just sounds like she's gloating.
"Words the Sea Gave Us" Extract Week - Wednesday - the nautical origins of having somebody "over a barrel". #nonfiction #etymology #maritime #History wordfoolery.wordpress.com/2020/07/06/ove… amzn.to/2D3bSi7
This week I'm running a daily extract from my book "Words The Sea Gave Us". For Monday it seemed appropriate to explore being in the doldrums and flogging a dead horse - both of which started in the Age of Sail. Enjoy! #nonfiction #etymology #maritime wp.me/ptQlI-BS
This was such a lovely read and I was so moved by it and how @WeAreIrishdotie were so quick to share my story! I’m so happy and very thankful! Thank you so much!
