BLOURNAL
I know it can’t rain all the time, but this winter has been an absolute washout
Well, I was gonna write about the weather and how this year has been kind of a washout so far, but I don’t really know what else there is to add to that particular subject. Maybe I just have such a limited imagination but I don’t think there’s much else that needs to be said about the weather other than the fact that it’s been persistently miserable since we started singing “Auld Lang Syne”.
Let It Rain
The rain’s finally made its overdue return to these shores after three weeks of heat and sunshine.
Scairbhín Season
Mum gave me a new word to add to my vocabulary this morning… scaraveen (or “scairbhín”). The word has its roots in the Irish phrase “garbh shíon na gCuach” and translates to “rough weather of the cuckoo”.
