Although St Patricks Day was pretty much cancelled in Ireland this year, because of that loathsome Coronavirus, Mrs Shan and the kids dressed in green for a little parade in our back garden. I posted a short video of that during the week -- scroll back to my post on the 17th if you didn't catch it first time round -- and here are a few photos to go with that, of the Shan clan in all their greenish glory!

"Hey!" I hear you mutter. "What about YOU, Shan-man?!? Why weren't you out parading with the rest of the clan?!?"

Well, I did nip out to film the parade -- that video didn't shoot itself, you know! -- but otherwise I was beavering away in my office. I'm not getting to squeeze in as much work-time as normal, since I'm helping out more now that Dante is off school and we're in full-on social distancing mode, so I need to fire away like mad any chance I get. I could down-tools entirely, of course, but as I said during the week, I'm lining up a little something to help pass a bit of that extra time on our hands that so many people are having to deal with now. Hopefully I'll clear that to go within the next few days, then I can put my feet up and go into full-on child-minder mode...

Well, maybe not QUITE full-on -- I think I'd go properly stir-crazy without a couple of hours or so of writing time most days! I'll have to find a way to fit the words in around Dante and Gaia -- or the other way round!!! :-)
