I will leave sunny Nice now for a few days. Getting on a plane to Dublin this afternoon. I am going there to drink green beer, dressed in green, in a green pub, by a green river. Yes, it's S:t Patrick's Day, or "Lá Fhéile Pádraig" in Gaelic. A celebration of S:t Patrick, an English missionary in Ireland some 1700 years ago. This year, the Pope has moved the holiday from its traditional date, 17th March, to the 14th or 15th (will see when I get there), because it coincides with the "Palm Sunday". Last time that happened was in 1940, and next time it will happen will be in 2160.
Thus I have picked an exceptionally special occasion to go there, and in return my expectations are exceptionally high. I expect exceptional and extraordinary events to take place so that I can share them exceptionally with you in this exceptional blog.
