Happy St. Patrick's Day!

If you're really Irish, go to church, wear blue, and eat a lovely bacon rasher.

If you're pretending to be Irish, pinch people with impunity, drink green beer, and kiss those who have buttons claiming they are of Irish extraction.

:D

In non-news, I still miss Ireland.

Well, that's one out of three. ;) (I did have a nice beef and sweet potato stew/casserole though. And I baked chocolate chip cookies for the Mother in Law since it's Mothering Sunday tomorrow.)

Happy St. Patrick's day to you too. You should see the daffodils out lately! Although, they got a good battering from the hail this morning.

Least you don't have to look at all the ridiculous leprechauns.

While you may have your hail, we have pouring rain all day. I've taken it as the weather has condescended to be Irish for me. :)

Oh, we had pouring rain too. On the bright side, that meant I didn't have to water the grass seed. On the, well, cloudy side, I was hoping to make a major dent in the weeding today and it was way too wet for that.

Yes, gardening was the height of my plans for St. Patrick's day. (Instead I spent most of the day on the internet and baked.) I am an exciting person. :D

From what I was led to understand, that is how most of the actual Irish people manage St. Patrick's Day.

Someone in Co. Cork told me anything else was the Eastern Europeans. But they might have been a disgruntled farmer grappling with geopolitical dynamics that went over my head. :)

Lots of people spend the entire day in the pub. Lots of other people watch the Dublin parade on TV (which of course is a much better idea than trying to watch it in person since, among other things, they pretty much design it for TV and they leave big-ass gaps in the parade for when RTE goes to commercial break). It may be the biggest tourism day of the year, but that doesn't mean there aren't a hell of a lot of Irish people acting the bollocks there too.
