St Patrick's Day (17th March 2008)

It's St Patrick's Day today and the whole town is painted green! No, I don't mean green paint but almost everyone you see in town this evening is donned in something green - hat, t-shirt, wig etc. St Patrick's Day is an annual feast day which celebrates Saint Patrick, one of the patron saints of Ireland, which falls on the 17th of March. And it's one celebration that Wellingtonians never miss :P

Normally I wouldn't drink on a Monday (it's only the start of the week for god's sake!) but the lads in the office convinced me to join them at Kitty O'Shea's, our usual Friday drink-after-work bar, for a drink this evening. Coincidentally, it was also our workmate, Sam's birthday, and what other way to celebrate with our Irish colleague than having some Guinness and Kilkenny's together! I'm being naughty, skipping my Monday swim...hehehe...Photos taken today:
