what does it mean? I wondered

It’s supposed to be skellig Michael, an island off​ the coast of Kerry.

It’s come to international attention in recent years because bits of the latest Star Wars trilogy were filmed there, but people have been visiting and living there for more than 1,000 years.


We’ll worth a quick image search at the very least! :smile:

Wow, that was a quick two years!

Happy St Patrick’s day to all Thunkers, wherever you are in the world.

Fun Fact: Tom Rowan and his team have been dyeing the Chicago River green as part of the St Patrick’s weekend festivities for the past 56 years!

Happy Paddy’s Day to everyone in the Thunkable community.

This year Google went for a rural/costal themed doodle:

And all over the world famous monuments are going green to commemorate the day.

Does anyone here live near any of these monuments?

Also, if you’re at a loose end the Times have a “Test Your Irishness” quiz this morning:

Keeping up my annual tradition of wishing all our Thunkers and @Power_Thunkers a safe and happy St Patrick’s Day :shamrock:

(Next year I’ll have to find a way to turn the community green to celebrate the occasion! :joy:)

We don’t have any parades here this year, but there will lots of great music and poetry and dancing available online for people to enjoy around the world!

Beir bua agus beannacht!

2023 marks 100 years since the formation of the Irish government and 50 years since Ireland joined (the forerunner to) the EU but the tradition of celebrating St Patrick’s Day goes back many centuries before this.

The first New York parade in 1762 even pre-dates the Declaration of Independence by 14 years!

While it probably won’t end up in any history books I’m extremely grateful to be marking my 7th Paddy’s Day as a member of this wonderful community and thankful for everyone in this knowledgeable and supportive group!

Go raibh míle maith agaibh
