[Nammu]

I bought corned beef, potatoes, carrots, and cabbage to use in the slow cooker,.....but forgot to do it so I'm doing it now, a day late. Kinda werid since we're social distancing and it's just the two of us

I completely forgot that it was a holiday. The only consideration I had for it was wishing a friend a happy birthday...she was born on St. Patrick's Day! But I completely forgot to wear green and drink Guinness.

Everything is closed here. Restaurants are closed. Groceries are limited in the stores. So no

I'm only about 15% Irish. I totally forgot it was St. Patrick's day, though I do recall some mention of it a few days ago. I did not buy the corned beef brisket that was really cheap at my local Shoprite, only because my Czech husband dislikes it, other than in reubens. Because of that, I've only made corned beef brisket about twice these past 20 plus years. My mother used to make a pretty big deal about it, since she was 25% Irish (her maternal grandfather was 100%). She used to also make Irish soda bread, and Irish potato candy. That was a long time ago.

Even though my mother was pretty much 75% of English background, she always seemed to regard herself as fully Irish. I think because her closest immigrant relative was her great great grandfather who came from Dublin. He was a successful horse jockey from there. Plus, she especially loved her maternal grandfather and his sisters. She always wanted to visit Ireland, so one time when I was in my mid 20s, she and I went there on a vacation together. We had a lovely time.

The other day, Daonnachd and I were chatting about our mutual fondness for the Irish band U2. Actually, I like a lot of Irish bands and singers. The Pogues and The Chieftains are great! I also like Mary Black, Sinaed O'Connor, and The Cranberries. When I was at university, there used to be occasional events focused on Irish music and heritage. I often participated. Though I've never formally studied Irish step dancing, as a dancing enthusiast, I've tried it a bit at Irish music fests.

I wore green and wished everyone a happy St. Patrick's day at my work. I was like the only person wearing green though. Definitely having the bars and taverns shut down has affected the holiday.

I completely forgot that yesterday was St. Patrick's Day. I only remembered last night when my friend said something about it.

I watched an Irish band perform their music in a live concert online.

It didn’t feel like St Patty’s Day.

It went by almost unnoticed here... in Ireland! To be quiet honest some of us in Ireland get a bit embarrassed by it. The day tends to go on and on and on... this year I spent it doing a spot of painting and some photography.

I decorated for it--even with an Irish garden flag and pillows on the porch. And I wore green all day at home. Hubby's people are Irish.
