Il n'y a qu'un Irlande qu'on peut s'attendre à cette police là.
Ca me rend fière .

Livraison de pintes garantie
Comment un bar peut-il poursuivre son activité alors que celui-ci est fermé pour cause de confinement lié au coronavirus ? Impossible, à première vue. Et pourtant. En Irlande, plusieurs pubs organisent… des livraisons de pintes de bière fraîche. Un sujet capital : depuis la fermeture des pubs, environ 50 000 salariés du secteur, répartis dans 7 000 établissements, sont au chômage, selon le quotidien britannique The Guardian . Et les habitants « sont privés d’un pan de la culture irlandaise ».
Conséquence, à Rathdrinagh, petite localité située à une cinquantaine de kilomètres au nord de la capitale Dublin, le McKeever’s Bar & Lounge utilise… un drone pour effectuer ses livraisons. Les bouteilles sont accrochées à l’appareil par des fils, et vole dans les environs du pub. Mais l’engin est dépendant des éléments : une livraison de vin et de chips a été annulée pour cause de vent trop puissant, raconte Avril McKeever, la propriétaire
les salariés du Pub Bath livrent des pintes de bière, directement chez les consommateurs Même chose au pub Graingers Hanlons Corner de Dublin, où les salariés servent les pintes de bière ou préparent des plats puis les livrent, dans un rayon de 5 kilomètres autour du pub, comme le permet le confinement en vigueur en Irlande. Ici, les commandes viennent parfois de loin : des Irlandais du Royaume-Uni, des États-Unis, d’Australie ou de Dubaï commandent pour leurs proches qui vivent dans la capitale. salariés du pu
La joie
Je réalisai alors que la joie est un état d'âme et non une qualité des choses ; en effet, les choses par elles-mêmes ne sont ni tristes ni gaies. Elles ne sont que le reflet des couleurs dont nous les parons.
Miguel Delibes
I realized then that joy is a state of mind and not a quality of things; indeed, things by themselves are neither sad nor cheerful. They are only the reflection of the colors with which we adorn them.
“Me percaté entonces de que la alegría es un estado del alma y no una cualidad de las cosas; que las cosas en sí mismas no son alegres ni tristes, sino que se limitan a reflejar el tono con que nosotros las envolvemos”.

Angela la bien nommée
"Germany bid farewell to Angela Merkel with six minutes of continuous applause.
The Germans elected her to lead them, and she led 80 million Germans for 18 years with competence, skill, dedication and sincerity.
During these eighteen years of her leadership and authority in her country, no transgressions were recorded against her .. She did not assign any of her relatives a secretariat .. She did not claim that she was the maker of glories .. She did not get millions out of her work, nor did she need anyone to cheer her life, she did not receive charters and pledges, she did not fight those who preceded her and did not dissolve her. She did not utter nonsense .. She did not appear in the alleys of Berlin to be photographed. It is (Angelica Merkel) the woman who was dubbed "The Lady of the World" and was described as the equivalent of six million men. Yesterday, Merkel left the party leadership position and handed it over to those after her, and Germany and its German people are in the best condition. The reaction of the Germans was unprecedented in the history of the Germans ..
The whole people went out to the balconies of the houses and clapped for her spontaneously for 6 continuous minutes of applause, without popular poets, scum, impudence, colorists and climbers .. Germany stood as one body bidding farewell to the leader of Germany, a chemical physicist who was not tempted by the fashion or the lights and did not buy real estate, cars, yachts and private planes, knowing that she is from former East Germany .. She left her post after leaving Germany at the top .. She left and her relatives did not repeat (We are the elders of the country) .. Eighteen years and did not change her old clothes .. God be upon this silent leader. God be upon the greatness of Germany ..
At a press conference, a female journalist asked Merkel: We notice that your suit is repeated, don’t you have another? She replied: I am a government employee and not a model.
At another press conference, they asked her: Do you have housemaids who clean the house, prepare meals and so on? Her answer was: No, I do not have female workers and I do not need them. My husband and I do this work at home every day.
Then another journalist asked: Who is washing the clothes, you or your husband? Their answer: I arrange the clothes, and my husband is the one who operates the washing machine, and it is usually at night, because electricity is available and there is no pressure on it, and the most important thing is to take into the account the neighbors from the inconvenience, and the wall separating our apartment from the neighbours is thick.
She said: To them, I expected you to ask me about the successes and failures in our work in the government. Mrs. Merkel lives in a normal apartment like any other citizen .. This apartment she lives in before being elected Prime Minister of Germany and she did not leave it and does not own a villa, servants, swimming pools and gardens ..
This is Angela Merkel, the Prime Minister of Germany, the largest economy in Europe !!"

Cataract day
La cataracte est l'opacification partielle ou totale du cristallin, lentille convergente située à l'intérieur de l'œil. Cette opacification est responsable d'une baisse progressive de la vue.
Mais tout à l'heure :
- une incision de 1,8 à 2,2 mm sera pratiquée au niveau de la cornée de manière à dégager l'accès au cristallin.
- un gel visco-élastique introduit dans la chambre antérieure de l’œil pour protéger la cornée et faciliter la manipulation des instruments et de l’implant.
- le cristallin naturel sera détruit par l'émission d'ultrasons avant que les déchets produits ne soient aspirés par sonde.
- l'implant intraoculaire sera positionné dans l'œil à la place de l'ancien cristallin et le gel visco-élastique sera aspiré.
- le chirurgien suturera l'incision si nécessaire après ultime vérification de l'étanchéité de l'œil.
Et voilà je verrai clair à nouveau !

Une sainte Bridgid sous la neige
Premier février, sainte Brigitte, premier jour du printemps .
Ce n'est certes pas le cas in Pennsylvania où vit mon amie Bridget.
Chaque maison irlandaise se doit d'avoir cette croix de jonc qui protège des incendies et des maléfices.
En anglais : Brigid's cross, Brighid's cross ou Brigit's cross ; en gaélique : Crosóg Brighd)
Tradition has it that when a pagan chieftain from the neighbourhood of Kildare was dying, Christians in his household sent for Brigit to talk to him about Christ. When she arrived, the chieftain was raving. As it was impossible to instruct this delirious man, hopes for his conversion seemed doubtful. Brigid sat down at his bedside and began consoling him. As was customary, the dirt floor was strewn with rushes both for warmth and cleanliness. Brigid stooped down and started to weave them into a cross, fastening the points together. The sick man asked what she was doing. She began to explain the cross, and as she talked, his delirium quieted and he questioned her with growing interest. Through her weaving, he converted and was baptized at the point of death. Since then, the cross of rushes, known as St Brigid’s cross has existed in Ireland.
