Weather

So, as well as the strikes on Tuesday, the other great topic of conversation is the torrential rain that we’ve been having. It has led to floods, which are awesome – as long as it’s not your house. I mean, it’s lovely to watch all the bad things happening because of it when you’re wrapped up in a cozy blanket and listening to it pounding off the roof. It provided the soundtrack to me going asleep last night and was also there when I groggily groped for my phone this morning, silently deciding that I’d sell my soul for another few minutes in bed.
The Collison house hasn’t seen any flooding really; big puddles are the closest we’ll get. I suppose it’s something to be thankful for – but when friends in another part of the country have the week off school because of them – it’s hard to be appreciative.
When I was being dropped home today by friends, they convinced me to wait into the car for a while (about 10 minutes) because when I first tried to exit, I was met by someone throwing a bucket of water over me.. or so it felt. In true Irish style, though, when I’d gotten into the car not 5 minutes earlier, it’d been dry.
So, yeah, the floods aren’t really affecting me, so if the rain would stop – that’d be lovely thanks :)
