I always enjoy visiting Ireland, not just because of the opportunity to visit our older daughter’s family, but also to do some sightseeing.
Irish people are kind and funny - that grumpy cabbie you had was definitely not Irish!
I came across a funny story recently that I would like to share - our daughter laughed out loud at the end which was very rewarding, because its usually a groan and an “oh papa” comment (welcome to Dad jokes!).
Paddy walks into a bar one Friday evening and orders three pints of Guinness. He drinks from one, then from the second and then from the third, until the glasses are empty.
He comes back the next Friday and once again orders three pints of Guinness. He drinks from one, then from the second and then from the third, until the glasses are empty.
When he does the same the following Friday, the bartender cannot resist saying “Hey Paddy, why don’t you order one pint at a time? I’ll keep a watch and bring you your next one when the first is empty”.
Paddy says “No, no I am drinking together with my two brothers. Sean is in LA and Liam in Melbourne. We promised each other to have a drink together every Friday evening. So this is my glass and the others are for Sean and Liam.”
“Ah”, the bartender understood.
A few weeks later, Paddy walks in and orders just two pints. The bartender is a bit mystified and comes to the conclusion that something must be wrong. He brings the two pints and says to Paddy “I am so sorry about your brother. Which one?”
“What do you mean?”, says Paddy.
“You just ordered two pints today, and I assumed that one of your brothers has passed”.
“Oh no, they are absolutely fine”, says Paddy. “It’s just that I have given up drinking”.

That’s all, folks! I am going away on a long trip, but will try and write in and hope to keep you entertained and informed. Spread the word to anyone who you think may enjoy my stories.
Stay safe and healthy.
Maybe, I think I follow his example with sweets🤣
