Happy St Patricks Day!!! (and this time i had my camera!)

So, yesterday was St Patricks Day.....a very happy one to one and all!!! Actually it is St Patricks week over here! There is a festival called CeltiFest going on all week....ending tomorrow in a huge parade! As well as being very Scottish, the Canadians are very Irish too! (Do we notice a pattern?!!!) Mark was working last night (a very busy night for him!), so I went out with Aaron and Sara to see Uncle Adrian's band play once again! After a queue to get in, during which a rather drunken reveler wee-weed up the bar (something i have never seen before, and for which he soon was helped to leave the establishment!!!), we finally got in around 10:30! A bar more like home, with people standing, and bar service! We dutifully purchased our pints of guiness and settled back to enjoy the fun! It seems anyone can make merry and dance a jig on St Patricks Day! Adrian's band had been playing since 5:30pm, and were still going strong during their 6th set at 11pm! Suitably dressed in green of course! Infact throughout the whole day there seemed to be slightly more green in the world!!! As you can see I managed to procure a shamrock from one of the walls....just to complete my Irish look!!!!! I think it suits me! All in all a very jolly time was had by all! xxx P.s. I've no idea who the couple are behind Aaron and Sara, but they look good in the picture!!!! hehehe
