For those of us that only "talk American" can you tell me what "craic be mighty" means? :D That way I can have one up on my Irish American wife. :lol:

Indeed...a Welshman called Maewyn!
But so what?.....St George..patron Saint of England & Portugal was born in Cappadocia (Turkey ?)
I read that the young Maewyn (St Patrick) was sold into slavery by marauding Irishmen..so had a harsh start in life!
Did he really drive out all the snakes..and is it true there are none in Ireland today?

How do you interpret the craic was mighty?
Had a great time/ laughter/jokes ..a cracking good time?
My old Irish friend Tony always says 'blinking good craic' (hes not allowed to 'swear' when wifes around) but he sure does ..when shes not! :lol:

The Irish were certainly out in force with their St Patrick's day parade around Carvoeiro. If you look at the webcam around 5.15 this afternoon you'll catch a glimpse of them!

Think it might be quite lively in the village tonight :D

Nearly came down but didn't make it in the end (as you'll have realised).

Suffering this morning? :wink:
