Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Today we went to see the St. Patrick’s Day parade in Belfast city centre. There was quite an international mix, almost like a mini Mela. Lots of family fun and the rain held off.
There was also traditional music, Irish dancing and festival mask crafting for the kiddos.
I also had a go at making an Irish coffee for the first time – minus the sugar, of course. Here’s my effort. Tasted great!
Later, I’ll be enjoying a glass of Bushmills and watching a suitable horror movie for the occasion. The Leprechaun is our pick for tonight, after the little dude is in bed. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a good dose of comedy horror starring Warwick Davis and Jennifer Aniston.
Anyway, for now, hope you’re enjoying a glass of Jamesons, a Bushmills, a Guinness, or Baileys, or whatever takes your fancy. Slainte!

Happy Saint Patrick’s day from a very cold and snowy Northeast Pennsylvania. I celebrated with attending a virtual poetry reading, in honor of poetry month a little early. Slante!!
