Happy not birthday QEII

There's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow (PM)

Wow. Those people that went to the leprechaun parade really scored! I hear that the quality of St Paddy's day parades is really variable. An Irish guy who used to work with us, let's call him O'Doyle, emailed me yesterday to say that the parade he went to had the local scout group, some kids on horses and a couple of tractors. It's a rural area you see and I guess people just want to get it out of the way so they can get on with breaking the lenten fast.

Having said that, when I went to the Royal Balmoral Show in Belfast last year I saw some pretty incredible tractors. This one had wheels that were taller than me.

Powerful stuff. I also had a deep fried black pudding that was pretty incredible, but not something I think I will be able to do again.

I guess I don't really give much of a hoot about St Patrick's Day, but I'm glad that the Irish, those in the North and the South, get a public holiday. I mean, we have one for a horse race. I guess a guy who drove the snakes away is a good cause for celebration.

Another public holiday?!?!?!?!?!

Hey, thanks again JC for timing your death and resurrection so conveniently over a weekend.

Hugs!

Another public holiday!?

Can you guys believe it is already another public holiday?!

Thanks stonemasons for your well-organised protest that won us the 8-hour work day and this holiday!  

Holiday Monday!

It's holiday Monday!

Woot!

Thanks for colonising, Britain! This day off is much appreciated!

Love

Queen's Birthday Holiday

Today is not the Queen's birthday, but it is the Queen's birthday holiday. Weird. So let's celebrate my favourite thing about QEII.

Just taking it easy (AM)

Oh, hi guys. I almost didn't notice you there.
Yesterday we took it easy because it was Anzac day. Today I am taking it easy just because. That's right readers, there will be no work for me today, just a lot of lazing about and perhaps eating a lot of the chocolate tart I made yesterday to honour the sacrifice of the Anzacs.

Some of us are not so lucky. I know for a fact that J is at work because she is a dedicated and hard working woman. Kudos, Mate.

But today, I am lucky as heck. Day two of a four day weekend. Chocolate tart. Lying around. That's basically it.
So if you'll excuse me, I have to go and get on with that.
Bye.

Happy Australia Day people. See you tomozz.
