Drink 1 Guiness a day. Obey that easy rule and you’ll blend
in perfectly with the Irish. Well, although it’s not too much of a deliberate
choice, I find myself anxiously close to that average, as the picture below
illustrates. The afternoon had barely commenced or Pieter and I decided to do
as locals do in Croke Park and have the fun started a little before the GAA
match. To our disappointment we couldn’t savour our liquid brunch on the
spectators’ seats and thus we had to choke this brown unit down lest we’d miss
the match. Chitchatting and strolling around the four of us were late to enter
anyway, found ourselves accidentally spoiling the minute of silence held,
before we sat down cheering for ‘the Dubs’ in what was clearly a crowd of away
supporters. A remarkable experience it was, all in all, also with my numb hands
being unable to grasp the frozen fries that had drowned in the sea of curry
before me. Next match will be summer time!
Other fun stuff includes my Italian – English tandem with Sara (every Monday evening), meeting Naomi & Raoul (friends of Cath to whom I was virtually introduced by same), after work beers on Friday (to be continued), and many plans that start to materialise. I shall keep you posted!
