UPDATE: I was wrong about titanic it was in april. Oops.
Or so Plutarch, the seer, said to Julius Caesar in the renowned play by Shakespeare. The date proved fateful to Caesar and also to the passengers of the Titanic 100 years ago, the date in which the ship finally submerged beneath the ocean. Old Julius didn’t take the advice of the soothsayer and was killed by his best friend. The passengers of the Titanic never even got a warning. Well I’m not afraid of the Ides of March. No sirey!
It’s half way through the month and half way through Spring. Spring time in Ireland is still February to end of April.
Well we have a few things to look forward to. St. Patrick’s Day is upon us. I’ve no real plans as yet. I’m thinking of attending the parade in Mullingar and possibly posting about it. Need to get my Green on. There will be a lot of merry making on Saturday and should all be in good spirit. I might even get to Dublin to visit family.
Spring forward and fall back. Yep, nearly that time to put the clocks forward by 1 hour. Longer, brighter days. Ok we lose the hour but it’s worth it for the extra sunlight. My SAD (Seasonal Affected Disorder) will all have disappeared.
We are busy making over the Conservatory. We’ve done a lot of painting, well, Richie has. So happy with the results so far and I’ll post about it as soon as we’re completed and are happy with the final touches. I’m looking forward to having it as a more functional space, rather than the squatting grounds for junk.
Then it will be onto the garden. It mainly needs a proper tidying up. We need to restrict the ducks from accessing our outdoor living spaces as well. They keep shitting everywhere, so it’s practically under every foot step. Wellies are a necessity at the moment! Finally, we can get to put up a fence put right of the house. Since some of the trees fell down, there’s be a wide open space and the field beside us will be filled with adolescent bulls when it’s time to put them to pasture. That will be no time at all.
Meanwhile, our Victoria, has become quite the climber. If she gets stuck, she can stay up there. I don’t think I could handle the embarrassment of having to call the Fire Brigade.
