PM me if you want a pic of me in me birthday suit in said field of thistles... ;-)
Hmmm, thanks for the offer, but I think I'll decline.
Back to the original topic - the weather.
Yet more rain today.
I can never understand how much we complain about the weather in Ireland. Especially in summer. I personally think the weather here is almost perfect. The main advantage we have here is LIGHT. Its bright until nearly 11pm at the height of summer. Thats class ! We can remain outdoors until 11pm.
The light (or at least the dull, grey hue we get in Ireland) is more an astrological phenomenon than a meteorological one. I find the dull light depressing.
The rain really is unbelievable. I don't mind the odd rainy day in Summer, or even 4 or 5 days of continual rain. However, we've been subjected to constant rain for the last two years! We don't have Summer any more. The result of all this rain is;
- A relative's dog's paws now seem to be rotting because of the constant damp.
- Flooding across the country.
- Confined to the house. I dont mind getting a bit wet every now and again because of an unexpected shower. However, it seems we have nothing but rain, rain and more rain. I can't even go for a walk without being ****ed on.
- Increased electricity bills as people just give up and use electric driers.
- What effect will all this water will have on plants and wildlife?
