    I don't have kids, so no parade for me.

    Not into the pub either.

    Might have a nice dinner.

    What about you?

    I'll probably just spend most of the day on Boards complaining about St Patrick's day

    Going to give the pub a miss this year. I have work Wednesday standing with customers for the day and a long drive for it.

    I do reckon the gardai will be out in force that Wednesday morning anyway.

    I never do anything on it. Last year I watched a film about St Patrick. I will probably just end up watching English soap operas.

    If the day is any way decent I’m going to clean out the flower pots after the winter and get the raised bed ready for a few lettuce plants. A wellies and gardening gloves and woolly hat kind of day 😊.

    If it's dry I'm going to tackle the weeds on the brick paving front and back. I have one of those long handled wire brush things that means I can stay standing, otherwise I'd never get back up ha ha. I wouldn't mind but it was power washed late last year too. Fecking weeds, if only the flowers would grow as fast.

    I'd prefer not to, but am seriously considering some industrial strength weedkiller this year. I'm fed up trying boiling water, vinegar (garden smells like a chipper), salt. Nothing works on the fekkers. I'm getting old enough to hate weeding the cracks in the bricks now. Using the hoe elsewhere is no biggie, but that patio job kills me.

    It'll pass an hour or so I suppose. Boring old day when no kids involved. But nice to have a pause in things during the week too I suppose.

    Brisk 5k walk, clear out the garden shed, power wash the patio.

    30 years ago I'd be in the pub at 2pm, dropping lsd at 3pm and out drinking/clubbing until 3am. 😬

    No more I say, no more. 🫷

    Have a nice Irish breakfast. Go for a good walk and then head to the pub to listen to a bit of trad music over one or two pints.

    Spend the day watching Netflix.

    The idea of going to a parade being surrounded by people sounds like hell on earth to me.

    Just another day. Might do some gardening if it stays dry.

    Stay in bed for a bit, then work in afternoon.

    Not bothered by any of the parades, same stuff every year. I'd be bored solid even if I could see over the heads of people.

    working, we deal with non irish clients in my job so don't get St Patricks day off.We do get a day in lieu for having to work on St Patricks days which means things works out much better overall as instead of having a day off in the middle of the week and in rubbish weather when you can do nothing I can take a day off for a Monday or Friday instead and pick a date in the year that suits me better when the weather is nicer.

    Apart from Covid this is my first Patricks day off in 34 years! Heading to the parade but if the weather turns I'll head the pub and watch the livestream like I did on Sunday. I'll be home by 3 as it's bad enough dealing with drunk crowds when you're getting paid nevermind for free!

    Ill be in Dublin city centre later. There will be pop up musical performances here and there, everyone wearing green, suns out and a great atmosphere. Ill do a mini pub crawl but its a good day for walking around with a discreet beer and soaking up the atmosphere too.

    Whats not to like? Id encourage everyone to do the same.
