Beer and Cider over for another year. Back on the stout for the winter.
A nation retreats from the sexy cocktail bars, back to pubs with peat briquettes burning in the hearth.
I’ve to do my MND ice bucket challenge today,
Jesus I’ll be soaked before I start…
It’s for a great cause so the auld rain won’t bother me.
Don’t forget to TXT MND TO 50300 if you haven’t done so already….
Good luck if you’re planning on buying a bag of ice anywhere, I had to do a frozen pea challenge instead!!
Hope you didn’t end up with a frozen bean Sarah?????……
I’m going all Snoop Dog this morning and bringing my umbrella, Fo’Drizzle
Hoping for some “back to school” weather by the end of the week … It’s tradition for goodness sake! ;)
I actually like the rain.
*I actually lack a brain*
Glen, turn off your predictive spelling.
That’s a good one Dara … If you can’t take a slagging there’s no hope for you.
It’s Monday morning, the weather’s acting up and everyone’s a bit grumpy but let’s not turn on one another :)
Michelle
Some people just can’t help it.
Y’know who else are turning on one another? Gazans.
*flees*
Glen strikes again with his unpopular opinions
Well I totally enjoyed the sunshine and warmth of the Summer.
Was lucky enough to be able to work outside for every day of it and spent most weekends outdoors.
Hopefully we get a late blast of god weather before the frosty mornings.
This was one of the best summer’s in many years.
Ah Mike, we have to hold out hope that the traditional September Indian summer comes through for us. I love autumn but this is wintry!
That was my first summer spent in ireland and many have told me it was a good one, personally I’m still waiting for it to start and now its gone ?
Maybe i shouldn’t have left australia!
Hehe.. Wait for the winter Stephen.
Us Celts are naturally blue in colour, we need a month’s sunshine to get white and we use WD40 as a sun factor.
When a plane load of Irish go on a sun holiday it’s like a pressure cooker venting steam.
Aah Michelle … don’t forget schools
re-open……. TRAFFIC!! and some happy parents!!!
Oops … Sorry – wrong post – that was meant for 9 at 9 …. Yes rains getting to me ;-)
It’s only a bit of water will you relax !!
Excellent. …i love Ireland s cool changeable weather
I don’t know what all this is about, it was actually warm last night, the news said it was gonna get like 3c but it was 14c, they never get anything right
Fliuch off
