Urgh. It is still raining. Actually that should probably be it is still raining. Now, unlike many, I don’t have a problem with the rain. I quite like water, even when it falls from the sky. But this is getting a bit ridiculous.
Today, in case you didn’t know, is the 5th of July. The Fifth of July! And outside it is raining. As it was yesterday, and the day before, and the day before, and I could go on repeating myself for a whole winter’s worth of day befores. Only it isn’t winter. It is summer. Supposed to be.
Over the past 7 days we’ve gotten 328% of what we’d normally get. Or at least I think that is what Met Eireann are telling me. And I’d like to say to whomever is responsible that enough is enough. We’d like our regulation day of summer, if you don’t mind. Or at least the phantom of a blue sky for an hour or two. But this maybe it’ll clear up outlook in the morning followed by huge downpours in the evening. Yeah, not so good. Although I did have fun walking in the monsoon like downpour on Tues. It was great, although my runners didn’t thank me for it afterwards. And despite the coat and umbrella, neither did my shirt or trousers.
and this sort of forecast:
Friday night will be largely dry, apart from the odd shower near some western and northern coasts. A few showers are still possible on Saturday, but it will be a mostly dry day with sunny spells. Highest temperatures will range 16 C to 19 C, with a light west to southwest breeze. Sunday will bring showery outbreaks of rain, heavy in places, though some bright or sunny spells can also be expected. Highest temperatures of 16 C to 19 C, with fresh and gusty southwest winds. Monday will be another breezy day with showers or longer outbreaks of rain.
, come on! It’ll be sunny and rainy and breezy and rainy and showery with sunny spells and gusty win and rainy and rainy and rainy. That’s not a forecast.
Even Oscar Wilde’d be moaning about this weather. Though possibly with a couple of wittier sayings and one-liners.

Thirteen of my favourite films, that I own on DVD cause otherwise we might be here for a while
- Dog Soldiers dir. Neil Marshall. I adore this film. It has soldiers, and werewolves, and humour, and blood and guts and gore. And Kevin McKidd. Brilliant.
- A Knight’s Tale dir. Brian Helgeland. This is just so very watchable. Fun and entertaining. And horses. And knights. What more could you want.
- LA Confidential dir. Curtis Hanson. What can I say? Great performance by Russell Crowe, I loved his character in this. And Guy Pearce’s performance was great too. Hell, everybody’s acting was great.
- The Lord of the Rings dir. Peter Jackson. Yes yes, three films, but I’m including them as one overall work. Because I can.
- Once Upon A Time in Mexico dir Robert Rodriguez. Best of this trilogy, imo. And Johnny Depp’s character. Fanatastic.
- Once Were Warriors dir. Lee Tamahori. Violent and depressing. But a great film.
- Open Range dir. Kevin Costner. I was totally surprised by how much I enjoyed this film. It has everything, violence, death, romance, gun fights, cuteness. And wonderful wonderful scenery.
- Withnail and I dir. Bruce Robinson. Sheer Genius.
- Pitch Black dir. David Twohy. Great sci-fi horror flick. Ignore the sequel, cause really, it has nothing to do with this film.
- The Lost Boys dir. Joel Schumacher. 80’s nostalgia how are ya? Plus, Keifer Sutherland goodness. All good.
- Brotherhood of the Wolf dir. Christophe Gans. I love this film. The cinematography is wonderful. The characters are great. The Beast is perfect. All in all it just works so well.
- Wedding Crashers dir. David Dobkin. Hilarious. Pure and simple.
- Moulin Rouge dir Baz Luhrman. Musical melodrama at its finest.
