Apparently also an Irish thing, judging by our neighbors when I was a kid.

**FCD** and MIL are both napping - she’s barely been awake 10 minutes in a row today, he just had a bad night, so the house is quiet and mine!! I just put the corned beef on to start and I peeled and chunked the spuds to be added later. For now they’re in a bowl of water with the carrots. So I’m about to go back to TV and crocheting.
