Quote Of The Day: Anyone And Everyone

"If you don't like the weather in Ireland, just wait 20 minutes." ~Anyone who has ever lived here Oh, how true it is. I thought I understood this sentiment; I really did. But today proved that I really didn't know jack about what I was talking about. Without one bit of exaggeration, here's today's weather pattern. Right now, it's approaching 6pm. From my count, it's rained at least seven times since I woke up at 9am. How is that possible? Well, it rains once, the clouds dissolve into a bright blue sky, and next thing you know you're being pelted by hailstones. Huh? When I started to walk home from school, it was sunny with nice puffy white clouds. After I come out of the bank, the rain is pelting down diagonally. I run down the street, my umbrella flipping inside out three separate times, and make it into the grocery store. I spend about 20 minutes in there, come out, and the sun has returned and there are no traces of the rain clouds. Just as I was getting home, I see dark clouds coming again, run into the house, and ten minutes later it's pouring rain. I wonder why the weather forecasters here even try.

We call it "Four seasons in one day".
I've never gotten use to it.

Did you just get propositioned on your blog? Another first for "I'm Just Here For The Craic."

Nederino,
Give me a shout on Saturday if you want. Not sure when I'll be around but it's worth a shot. Are you stuck at the airport until your wheels arrive on Sunday or will you already have the car? Plenty of craic to be had in the city, but taxi rides might run you 30euro, though there is a bus that goes between the airport and the city. Happy travels.
