Have you celebrated St Patrick\u00b4s Day this weekend? Been to a St Paddy\u00b4s party? I bet you must\u00b4ve \"Champagneseen more pints of Guinness or Murphy\u00b4s around than in one whole year.\u00a0So, champagne and St Patrick\u00b4s Day on the same sentence might sound a bit odd to you. It all makes perfect sense though.<\/p>\n

You see? I was at home today in this rainy day and I actually felt more\u00a0like a traditional Irish stew than a pint of black beer. It\u00b4s not all about drinking, do you agree?<\/p>\n

So, I went off to have a hot lunch.<\/p>\n

Then, there they were. On top of the chest of drawers, next to the flowers and the\u00a0laptop. They were\u00a0looking in my direction, staring at me as a matter of fact.<\/p>\n

I had no choice.<\/p>\n

I needed to do a bit of work on the computer. Neither prevented the other from actually happening. I could just do it quickly before switching the\u00a0laptop back on.<\/p>\n

So, I had my champagne truffle for dessert today. It felt good. I don\u00b4t even\u00a0like black beer (certainly not the one sold in\u00a0London). I am actually starting to fall for this trend in London, and\u00a0like bubbly.<\/p>\n

I have found some pictures of St Patrick\u00b4s Day which are not your usual Paddy\u00b4s Day pictures. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
