Happy St Patrick's day 17/03/16 dress code green bow ties & green ribbons :)

Well let me be the first to wish you a Happy St. Paddy’s Day Buttons!
Pics are awesome, esp lovely Buttons dressed so smartly. And the orangie gif. And the dancing kits. Heck, all of ’em are awesome!
Well today I wore green just because and on the day itself I’ll do likewise. I like wearing green as matches my eyes purrfectly. And Dorry’s. LOL
So 2 peeps with Irish bkgd at gym commented on my purrfect colour choice and I greeted one of them with “Éirinn go Brách.” And surprise, surprise, I was told that my pronunciation was purrfect!
No Irish in me so far as I know. But there is a thriving Jewish community in Dublin. Sadly the Jewish synagogue in your n’hood as Cork City closed this past Feb. But if I ever get myself into the TDK cybermobile …

My best friend was Irish on both sides, and St. Patrick’s Day was a major holiday. Her sister used to send us boxes of food and decorations, always including a bottle of green food coloring. My favorite thing was the loaf of green soda bread she always included. Getting that was one of the highlights of my year.

As it happens, my green jumper suit is one of the garments in the dryer at the moment. I’ll have to remember to wear it tomorrow. We’re supposed to bring a green or a “lucky” dessert to work tomorrow (I’ve never heard of a lucky dessert). That soda bread was good enough to qualify.

Yay – time for St Paddy’s Day Fun again – thanks Buttons 😀

Just heard that Brutie will show up for festivities tomorrow US CST!

Lucky is getting ready too

with Bro if fun Crock!

Scoot the patoot will also find her spot joining in on festive fun!

She’ll be sharing smooches for all Irish wanna -be’s…oh that Diva is a charmer 😉

Hope to join in on more of the fun later…

Actually when I was a kid my mother specially ordered loaves of pink bread and green bread. 1 sandwich slice loaf in ea colour. Ghastly shades! And no idea why they were ordered either!
I would probably end up swallowing the coin and my only luck would be the opp to get my stomach pumped by a way cute doc, who would end up falling madly in love with me! Hehehe
Dorry getting the cold shoulder, Buttons? I would think not, considering his “charming” purrsonality and “extreme” good looks. (PS As I am writing this he’s reading over my shoulder.) *wink*

the video of the green hatted kitten took me from a dark, dreary hole to a happier spot today. On Friday, an evil, major nasty thing this way will come, and can’t be avoided.

Happy St Patrick’s Day ! !

Couldn’nt resist that pic as I saw a man similarly dressed at the supermarket this morning.

lagatta, it would be fun to be in Dublin on Bloomsday, I could outfit myself “Downton Abbey” style in keeping with the period and join in the fun, although I believe that some group in Montreal keeps up with this tradition!
Re “X Company” – it’s fabulous and I PVR it. I was getting bad dreams too, and I assumed that I was overly sensitive or something. Think that maybe I should watch it during the day. Plus one of the creators/exec producers was at uni same time that I was, we were in a G&S production together, she would not remember me at all but it’s neat when one sees a fellow student make it big in the media.
PS I finally got my ISP/phone company issues as mentioned yesterday solved, getting a credit for a promo that was not applied and hopefully all should be good going forward. 🙂

Oh KZ, great shirts, I’d love one if they came in a tank top!

I’d love those costumes! Have to do something with my useless History degrees! Actually, I did some research and translation for the “Apocalypse” series about WWI.

I knew someone who was in the Resistance in Normandy when he was a very young man – as young as Harry the kid in X Company but much taller, and gangly the way overly tall teenagers are. He is still alive, and very old of course (about as old as Renzo!)

I also have a Parisian friend some years younger who was of Italian-Jewish origin who had to wear the yellow star in Paris. Her parents bought her roller skates – a big expense for them then – because she was no longer allowed to play in parks there, and her little friends would go out in the streets to share the skates. Their lives were saved by an Italian fascist bureaucrat who delivered them a certificate of “Aryanity”. Knowing Italy well, doubtless a combination of sncere human feeling and corruption. She is still alive and well, retired now of course.

Renzo is meowing at me to go to bed, and since he actually has seniority, I must obey!!!

Happy St Pat’s everyone! I’d like to make a stew with stout, but I’ve been avoiding red meat. Do I still observe Lent on some level???
