I like Mondays

Mondays as such are usually no reason for celebration. In Ireland however, four official holidays every year are Mondays. And this, it seems, only for the sake of being Mondays. And that IS a reason for celebration. The first Monday of May, June and August as well as the last Monday of October are free. So you can have long weekends without making acrobatics shifting around your holiday leave, trying to bridge so many days in order to make the best out of it. And another good thing about the Irish holiday policy is, that you never miss a day off. Even those holidays which are on fixed dates and therefore might be a Saturday or Sunday, are shifted to the next Monday.

I already celebrated one of those Mondays last week. I went on a bike trip along the coast road towards Connemara. It was a cloudy day, but pleasantly warm...
