MY SHAMROCK SHAKE

As I said yesterday on the Mood Board, I'm not full Irish, but only a quarter Irish so that must count for something right? Tonight...time for my corned beef and cabbage dinner tonight!! It will slow cook while Im at work, and I have two friends coming in for dinner tonight. But a long-time reader here will tell you, that the Mistress LOVES Shamrock Shakes!!!! Alas this year I 've only enjoyed one, but rest assure I'll have another one today at some point! I present my Shamrock Shake!

And if we are not warmed up yet , my dear gin blossom friend across the pond Jon, reminded me it's the perfect time and day for the lovely Gardiner Brothers and their painted on black jeans!

Happy St Patrick's Day...indeed!

MOOD BOARD

 

Where in the world did the time go today? Not that I'm complaining that Monday flew by. As you can see from the previous post my Monday morning with horrific. But what Mondays aren't? I'm gearing up tomorrow for St Patrick's Day. Am I 100% Irish? By no means no. I am a quarter Irish though. My paternal grandmother, her parents were from Ireland. I'm what they call a European mutt. My maternal grandparents were actually born in Czechoslovakia, while my paternal grandmother's family was from Ireland, and my paternal grandfather's family was from Holland. So I guess that makes me Czech... Dutch ...and Irish. I think there may be a little bit of Swiss in there somewhere too . So just enough Irish to enjoy St Patty's Day tomorrow. And yes I do have a corned beef dinner in the plans! With some mashed potatoes and cabbage.

Happy Monday kids!

MEANWHILE...MONDAY MORNING...

...at the Casa du Borghese, Ms Moorecock just told me 

it's Monday Morning ...

LIFE CONTINUES...

 

...with some weekend left! It's been a relaxing weekend what with some busy weeks with the new showroom. Spring was on the way but then got derailed back with some cooler weather again...not to mention our family friend Garnet had a surprise birthday lunch and desserts for the Mother, who celebrated around trip around the globe. And she hates surprises.  The day started with me taking her for breakfast. Needless to say, I'm guessing she slept good last night after her libations all day. The garden crocus exploded but will last for how long is anyone's guess with the cooler weather is again. It's always the first sign of spring in my book. I did however get outside today for a nice little cleanup of leaves and felled branches...and see a few signs of spring. And some of the usual suspects.

The birthday location of the Mothers childhood friend. 

They have known each other since 4 grade!

 

At the Casa....I loved the sun beam illuminating these vases and vessels yesterday in the afternoon.

Now, is it happy hour yet?
