With the number of Irish surrounding me every day and most of my mates here being Irish, St Patrick’s Day was always going to be big, apart from the fact that it’s a Wednesday and I have a job…. At least I did…

Two days ago C.O.R.E. (who I work for) announced bankruptcy (no I had nothing to do with it). This leaves with A: The day off; and B: an extra reason to have a drink!

The weather was beautiful, so we sat on the roof in the sun all afternoon, drinking. There was of course a band of Aussies too. Check out our Vegemite grins! Then someone decided we should climb the adjacent building, and in the general drunken state everyone agreed it was a good idea. So up the fire escape we went and had a good view over Toronto in our local area! We all survived. No injuries surprisingly.
We carried on into the night and it was a pretty good, and crazy, day!

These photos are not only from my camera, so don’t blame me for some of these haha :D

Toronto Paddy Parade

The St Patricks Day Parade in Toronto! It was actually on Sunday before because they can’t close down the city on a week day! But wasn’t a bad turn out. Some funny get ups including people dressed as french footballers with giant hands! The best was this big guy’s dance moves.

Oh, and did you know that the might DELOREAN was built in Belfast?!!

Canada Wins Gold

So Canada has just beaten out the USA to win Olympic Gold in the Men’s (ice) Hockey! That, and recently winning the Women’s Gold, and being in Vancouver, is basically like topping the entire Winter Olympics for Canada.

So straight after the match everyone headed out to the streets to party. Even the emergency services were getting into it, with Fire trucks fllying flags and running sirens to celebrate!
