An excuse.

For having done virtually nothing today other than lie on the beach, and still not venture into the sea for fear of frozen bits.
Hat purchased 'cause Bill said so.
St Patric's day tomorrow and it is said that Nerjans take it seriously, he being the patron saint of Guinness.   Oh, got that wrong, to be sure.
He's patron saint of something here so will investigate and report back.
( Bill.  Recal the vibrating cans of Guinness in the Rodondo?)
