St Patricks Day breccie
Woke at 06:30 - unheard of! Another a sunny but windy St Patrick's Day.
Went to Scruffy Murphy's for 10:00 as couldn't wait for sunday dinner we'd seen whilst walking around.
The music was an Irish ear bashing - good and certainly wakes you up.
Most of the town centre was closed for the Parade from George street.
Just had to call in for coffee and carrot cake whilst we decided what to do.
Went down Pitt Street again with the aim of getting to the harbour bridge, with a detour via the cider tents in Hyde Park and through the botanic gardens.
Found an old style pub under the bridge and whiled away a few hours with a couple of pints and local chat outside.
Then back home through The Rocks area and up Phillip st.
Fish and chips dinner at our old haunt at the Blue Fish, Darling Harbour, before out at our artist friend's a few drinks in Oxford St.
Crashed at an (early for us) 02:30.
