HAPPY ST PATRICKS DAY

 

To all those that celebrate "HAPPY ST PATRICKS DAY", quite a nice day for me for the first time in years I don't have to oraganise a St Pats Party at work, nor find myself swimming in the black stuff(Guiness), and serving up Irish Stew with Soda Bread, oh the joys of no longer being a licensee, saying that it was great fun,during the festivities not so fun when everybody gets hammered(drunk), and no Green Lager..lol.

Saying all that though it was great fun, we used to spend ages doing the pub up in the morning, plus well all used to wear the big hats(on display above) it's anice thing to do and next month we have St Georges Day.

So just a few pictures of a couple of my pubs and a video to get you in the mood from the comfort of your computer screen.

  RIVERDANCE

Have fun all

CATCHING UP

I'ts been a couple of weeks since I last posted anything, to be honest not much has been happening.

I finshed my online studies for my teaching course  and have my Certificate, so have now applied to do the fulltime course which I'll be doing abroad Spain probably, and just as well I checked my Passport,as it will be out of date soon, so that 'll be another couple of hours wasted a t the post office filling out forms etc.

What else, oh I've been on a healthy eating kick lost almost 20lbs, and still trying to lose that "giving up smoking" weight, but at least my blood pressure has settled down, so feeling healthier in those terms, my back still plays up and some days I'm in agony and can hardly walk I'll have to set up another appointment, and see what they can do, can't really go on like this it takes me 10 minutes to walk to the corner shop considering I only live about 8 doors away.

I also have to look into finding a Cattery for Scarlett and Domino for when I'm away and it's quite expensive, and the won't be happy about it at all..lol, they just about cope when my neighbour has to feed them for a week.

Some good news I have some friends comming over from Sri Lanka next week and were going out for dinner next Wednesday which should be fun, and gets me another invite to visit them, never been to that part of the world maybe next year, as for hoildays this year New York hopefully at the end of May as well as visiting friends in France and Spain oh yes and getting a new job..lol, though it has been nice having all this time off but now I'm a bit bored and need to get my teeth into something.

Sorry to be boring today, but just not been up to much lately oh well it goes like that sometimes.

I did start a new shared journal heres the link:

Thats all for now
