Happy St. Patrick’s Day from Dublin ☘️

I’ve been taking a break from the blog, but it would be remiss of me not to share a few photos from St. Patrick’s Day in Dublin. I missed last year’s, and the year before that we were still in COVID lockdown. It’s overcast, but not raining, and warmer than it’s been over the last few weeks so one can’t complain. The parade passes down Dame Street only steps away from my front door. My friend CJ joined me for awhile to watch the various marching bands and floats. I imagine it will be quite lively in Temple Bar tonight and I will probably opt to avoid the madness, but the day is still young so we shall see. I’m just glad to have a three-day weekend… life has been quite busy.

Sláinte / Cheers!
