Huge congratulations to Hungarian-British author David Szalay on winning Booker Prize last night for Flesh. I know what my next book to read is going to be, and I guess I know yours too.
"I very successfully persuaded myself that I wasn't going to win... There was a sort of sense of shock." Author David Szalay reacts to winning the Booker Prize last night for his novel, Flesh. #R4Today

Extremely proud that @TheKennelClubUK recognized the Hungarian Mudi in its Imported Breed Register. The 🇭🇺 Mudi is everything we like to think about ourselves: "razor-sharp, thinks independently, and is an affectionate, fiercely loyal family member" 😇 https://t.co/5wGM0JYQT2

My firsy half marathon in a long time. I badly wanted a sub2 race, and managed 1:59:00 according my watch's measure, but it took another 380 meters to get to to the finish, and i ended with 2:01:10. Never mind it was a lot of fun, thank you @wizzair #HackneyHalfMarathon

Today the Hungarian ambassador to the Court of St. James travelled to Belfast to honour a very special lady - the humble principal of the Buddy Bear conductive school in Dungannon, Ildiko. It was lovely to be part of the celebrations at Stormont.
