We will be back off to the farm very shortly as on Saturday (Paddy's Day) we have the new house blessed and a party for the village, we will roast a pig (our biggest) provide plenty of booze and generally it will be eminently suited to Paddy's Day! Although there will be no foolish American influences 
such as green beer. In fact there will be no real GuinnessOne of the nice things about being in the Phils is that there are no requirements to hide the filling of one's coke, or whatever insipid drink
they have sold you, with Jack (or one's preference). We indulge regularly at the AABBQ where if I have wine to 
hand they will happily provide me with a glass, and if Tanduay or Jack then they happily sell me the diluter of choice.
But back to our celebrations, and the pleasures to come. I will make every effort to emulate the delightful Shane McGowan
although I wish I had his talent and not just his capacity for liquid refreshment. Although I may be slipping these days with my intent to get rid of at least some of the excess flab.
But perhaps what I need most for such festivities on a peculiarly Irish day is not just a desire to empty all bottles around but more importantly a quick spray from something a shade more effective than just a penchant for Guinness or Jameson at transforming me into a fairly reasonable approximation of the real thing.
