Uncooperative Irish Summer

LATE IN APRIL, I told Met Eireann that it was essential to provide sunshine over southeast Ireland during a minimum of three consecutive days every week in June and July. The Irish weatherman has failed me, resulting in important DIY home improvement tasks going unfinished. As those who view my Flickr photostream and Qik videos know, we have consumed only one of three tonnes of sand required to plaster a large expanse of outside wall and we have merely started a job involving limestone facing (see left) in another part of the property. This is so depressing because we gave up perfect sun holidays in order to keep the sun shining in Ireland. Personally, I hold the weather forecasters of the State broadcaster responsible for this shortcoming. Every evening, when I see the smiling face of a weather personality standing in front of a map filled with squiggly lines around the capital letter L, I just want to reach out and pull my coaxial cable out of the wall. But for now, I have to inflict pain on all weathermen who use Twitter by removing them from my carefully-honed online friendships.
