We had a really nice weekend, mild and sunny. so most of our snow is gone but there are still drifts hanging around. It's 4' this morning but the weather says we are only expecting a sunny high of 1' so no idea if they are wrong or it's going to get colder. Only time will tell. But we're all looking forward to 10' tomorrow and maybe 16' on Wednesday. Pretty amazing considering it's not even the first of spring yet!
Well, it was a pretty Irish weekend. We were going to have supper here on Saturday but Brenda came up with a better idea. Since St. Patrick's Day was on Saturday perhaps we should find a pub somewhere. Great idea. So we met in town after I was done work and it just turns out that our friend Marlene was at the Old Triangle and was able to snag some seats for us. It seems she and some friends had started out there with breakfast at 9:00 in the morning and were there until 10:00 that night. But we can assure you, they were not drinking that entire time. In fact they'd all had no alcohol by the time we got there at 2:30. But there was music all day and lot and lots of people so a great time was had by all. I only stayed until 5:30 so I could come home and let the dog out. But it was enough for me to get a taste of what the 'event' is here on the island. I ran into my old boss from the university there and they were also having a wonderful time.
As you can see, a great time was had by all.
Sunday was our Corned Beef and Cabbage dinner. Since we moved it to Sunday we decided to invite others as well. So there was Brenda and Bernie, Richard and Daralen, Raymond and Marlene. Brenda made a delicious coconut cream pie, Marlene brought some wonderful biscuits and Daralen brought some Irish Cream liquer. What more could any of us ask for? Most of the meal turned out okay but not Lloyd's bread pudding. I have no idea what I did wrong. It's a dead simple process but it was mush after cooking for 3 hours so I'll have to get a tutorial next time he's here. We didn't even put it on the table, it was that disgusting. Oh well, next time. There are some things that should just be left to the experts!
The big news this morning is the rioting that took place in London Ontario. Fortunately Caitlin wasn't involved. It looks like it was mostly students from the community college in town. Not a bright thing to do.
As you can see, a great time was had by all.
