Well its two days since the shamrock was drowned on St Patricks Day. No doubt it was well and truly submerged metaphorically speaking of course by revellers up and down the country and around the globe downing several creamy pints of the black stuff, while stamping their feet to some traditional Irish music as they tapped Shilelaghs on their knees.
Ever wonder what happens to all those bowls of shramrock that have been given to US Presidents by our kow towing Taoiseach over the years as they visited the White House. If times get hard for old George W Bush,maybe he can flog all the Waterford Crystal bowls Bertie gave him on ebay. I'm sure Laura bush is probably relieved they are not in the White House anymore since she has no more room in her glass case for those extremely heavy and bulky crystal bowls.
Just a thought maybe George Bush & and ould "shoot your mates while out hunting Dick Cheney" use them as ashtrays for tipping their big fat cuban cigars into. Since everyone knows things are twice as big in TEXAS and they don't have piddly little ashtrays.
Anyway everyone seemed to enjoy St Patricks Day, and people are even disillusioned into thinking its summer. There are even some students strutting around in their boardies, although I haven't seen any flip flops yet .For these naive weather fools let me paraphrase an old spanish saying " only take your coat off after may has passed. In other words don't start stripping off at the first sign of sunny weather in spring because it is still very cold weather. With these thoughts of sunshine I have uploaded a picture onto Flickr which is this weeks assignment. A refreshing of view that greeted me first thing in the morning when holidaying in Mattagorda Lanzarote two years ago. You can nearly smell the sea air and feel the palm trees swaying in the warm tropical breeze. I just hope I have now linked the photo to the the blog or else I am going to have some very disappointed followers.
I really enjoyed Janes' lunch time talk on flickr and its quite an interesting site. I will no longer be downloading photos from the digital camera, then compressing them and uploading them onto gmail in order to send them to people.
I have found some really interesting and unusual stuff on flicker. I found one picture just by sheer accident where somebody had made out of pink icing sugar a typical bedroom complete with lamp on top of a locker a pair of slippers on a mat all on what appeared to be a large muffin. Maybe this could all be camera trickery. You'll just have to flickr to find our for yourself.
