It's time I did our #mastodon #introduction. I'm Bob Johnston, owner of The Gutter Bookshops - 2 indie bookshops in #Dublin, #Ireland (#TempleBar & #Dalkey). Proud to be #LGBTQ & author of a children's picturebook with illustrator Michael Emberley 'Our Big Day' celebrating same-sex weddings (O'Brien Press 2022) I toot about #books, #bookshops, our #cat Molly & #dog Jessie. Married to artist & teacher Leon McAleenan. Oh, & #biscuits, lots of biscuits... Hoping to chat & support others here. Bx
@gutterbookshop I'm moving to becoming a Molly Stan account. More pics please!
@Homebrewandhacking The world should be a Molly Stan account in my opinion... She's now 16, we adopted her aged 1 from DSPCA & she has ruled our world ever since...
@gutterbookshop Biscuits, books, a partner and pets. I'd probably have the same headstone inscription, but possibly in a different order.
@gutterbookshop great to see you guys here
@gutterbookshop
Welcome!
Love your avatar, btw. And biccies ftw!
@gutterbookshop Molly looks like she's judging us
@GeorgeJulian She is. Always.
@gutterbookshop hello! As an indie poet I LOVE seeing indie bookshops out there. The next time I visit Dublin I shall drop by for a browse!
