    New year's day. Especially the evening.

    I’m the least Irish person in the country so it doesn’t even register on my radar.

    Is that because you're a rat from the sewers ?

    It's because days don't present a radar profile. He doesn't understand how radar works. And days.

    Yes I’m a rat from the sewers. And I’m gnawing on your ankle even as you type.

    If you think you're bored, spare a thought for kids in pubs all around Ireland, as their parents assure them that they'll be going home "after this pint".

    I pay no attention to it whatsoever and this year no different.

    I was thinking about it a bit today, how different things are as one grows up/older. I remember distinctly the strange thrill as a child of having a clump of plant matter pinned onto the lapel of the posh outfit you wore the previous year at your confirmation (or your very best Sunday clothes), how your Granny astonished you with her special green coat and hat or her green fitted outfit that saw the light of day once a year, how a trip to the village to have hard-boiled sweets hurled at you from the back of passing tractors in a parade seemed thrillingly exotic, how you kept the green rosette in a shoe box as a memory, and how eating sweets because it was allowed that one day in Lent seemed insanely decadent. I did none of that with my own children as they grew up, it seemed vaguely silly. No pouncing on them feverishly with a safety pin and shamrock. Were we mesmerised or something?
