It's March 17th here in Australia and just about in Ireland...
Lá 'le Pádraig sona daoibh go léir!*
For those of you celebrating St Patrick's Day, have a good one. May you have a wonderful day filled with your favourite people and a few glasses of whatever you like the most.
(And please remember, Patrick can be shortened to Pat or Paddy, but never ever patty. Patrick is the anglicisation of the Irish name Pádraig, always shortened to Paddy by the Irish. If you say patty, we think of hamburgers. Also, you know, St Patrick was probably Welsh which means he probably spelled it Paidraighllwrghgll).
From me, my favourite toast... (no idea if it's authentic and, yes, I am an atheist, but this one still tickles my fancy)
May those who love us love us.
And those that don't love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if He doesn't turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles,
So we'll know them by their limping.
* I really hope I have spelled that right. My Irish is shot from 15 years of not using it, sadly.
