St. Patrick's Day was great fun on Saturday. Gemma and I went to Filthy McFaddens (an Irish pub actually owned and staffed by Irish) and sat in the beer garden from 2pm through 4pm, then moved inside to enjoy the traditional music and cheer. The vibe was fantastic. Gemma, being Irish, is somewhat leery of ersatz-Irishness, but she had a marvelous time. She even ate two pickled eggs, which means she'd settled right in.. &-) Home to a big homecooked dinner of lasagna and steamed organic veggies..

Sunday, Gemma stayed in bed so I took off (with Molly) on the bicycle and rode in the sun for a few hours, then had a nice lunch at a new Thai restaurant in Kingston. Did loads of paperwork later on, and reviewed some stuff sent through from the headhunter.

Today, had confirmation that Trina and Gemini are making the trip up from Melbourne for The Great Fraptabulous Everythingian Get Together, Part the Second. Part the First is tomorrow night.. Gonna be interesting..
