Today we had to get to know that the other chick died as well. Probably
the weather is too cold for such little creatures.
The housegarden has now two more gravestones for Ko and Ko.

Today we had a soccergame together with the family and their friends.
As a matter of my very poor goalkeeper-skills
Dara managed, without wanting it, to end the game with a very easy shot
>.<
Yesterday we all had a small Easter ceremony together wich came to an
end in the late evening with traditional Irish
music and dance.

The month of March is not a good one for our chicken. Ko died today.
He was very weak already two days ago, so that Cassandra and I decided
to take him inside over night.
The next morning he woke Cassandra up with a happy "piieps". His mother
was very happy as well to take him back and
they were one family for one day again. But this early morning Janina
had to find him half dead in a corner when
she was feeding the chickens. We put him warm and cosy in my room,
where he died during the morning.
St
Patrick's Day, 17 Mar 2008
Sarah, Kostas, my father and I were in Dublin for sunny St. Patrick's
Day. It was a nice crowded, happy, buzzing
atmosphere after the quite winter on the island. My father and I got
out of the city center in the morning to not be
enclosed by the big parade. Some people secured good places with a good
view on the coming wagons, balloons and
orchestras already two hours before it started . Thanks to these crowds
outside,
we got a relaxed, long, free glance on
the Book of Kells inside
the Trinity College and some other sights. In between we watched the
parade and the hype around
it - green-white-orange people everywhere on roofs, window sills,
ladders, posts, lanterns, phone boxes,… We stuck quite
out of the crowd because we weren't wearing a colossal, green, fuzzy,
ugly whatever (mostly hat or other headwear).
I enjoyed the city's comfort and the comfort of Justyna's flat in the
evening, where we could get some rest from the
unusual excitement : ) Thanks again for hosting us!
