God the discourse over paddy’s day is going to be nuclear level this year. Obviously we should not go but I cannot wait for the mealy mouth excuses that ‘this is incredibly important for Ireland Inc’.

I’m having the usual dry January revelations that drinking less alcohol makes me feel a lot better and appears to help with my anxiety. I’m excited to learn absolutely nothing from this.
