In the Summer time

I am not one to complain about the weather. I hardly even bother checking weather forecasts unless I am going out sailing. All those weather widgets you can get? Don’t see the point. Look out a window folks.

However, when I saw today’s Calvin & Hobbes I did feel a pang for summer. Being from South Africa means I have grown up with fantastic summers. My first year in Ireland, 2006, was a pretty good summer and all the hype about Irish weather seemed unfounded.

Then 2007 came and boy, has this been a horrid summer. A nice, lazy summers day would be a real bonus around now.

It's been terrible Paul but in fairness, even for Ireland this is a bit of an extreme. In fact, my mother's 71 and says she's never seen a summer so bad. Yes, as a young girl she saw haystack being washed into the river but she never recalls months of rain every single day.
