Fumbally Exchange is now on the fediverse at mastodon.ie/@FumballyExch Come on in, the water is lovely!

We've dug up some footage from the early days of Fumbally Exchange. A lot of fresh faces in this video but with all the changes over the last 15 years it's great to see that so many of that young cohort are still part of the community now, albeit a little greyer! www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPxS...

Metaphorical gardening - another snapshot from our 2015 scrapbook, this time from @feenishproductions.bsky.social. Buddleia's bloom from the post unlikely places. (see alt text for transcription)

five Fumbally haikus... 10 years ago, to celebrate Fumbally Exchange's 5th birthday, we produced a scrap book asking current and past members to contribute some memories of the first five years. This whimsical, but heartwarming response came from architect, Stephen Musiol.

For this week's #WednesdaySocial we got to hear from @aideendarcy.bsky.social about the great community building work she does with Neighbourhood Network. The bright sunshine was a bonus. Check out their work at neighbourhoodnetwork.ie #MakingWorkTogether

Last week's Wednesday Social saw Tanja Slijepčević entertain us with stories of her experience in the publishing world with Betimes Books featuring books by Catherine Dunne, Colin O'Sullivan and Joe O'Byrne. Coming up this Wednesday is the ever-popular Sketch Club with Graham Thew.

I recommend @lizcarolan.com 's newsletter www.thebriefing.ie to people who sign up to thegist.ie and I see today that it's prompted 14 signups. You can recommend any website, not just ones on the Ghost platform- like the blogrolls of old. If you're on Ghost, take a few minutes to fill in yours.

We thought it was about time we set up a Bluesky account, there's only so much craic you can get out of LinkedIn and that other site is a scary place right now You can find out more about who we are and what we do at www.fumballyexchange.com or contact us at hello[at]fumballyexchange.com #SpéirGorm
