Well I don't know if we are officially into fall yet but the weather has changed. It is not much cooler in the day but at night it is cooler and the rain, well we have had some very interesting storms. One was the end of Hurricane Gordon and it hit us pretty hard. You would think that a country that gets a lot of rain would be prepared for it but it seems that after every hard rain the talk on the radio the next day is where the flodding is.
Here are a few of the ways the rainfall is described in the local Cork paper. Cloudy with outbreaks of rain-A breezy and showery day-Staying cloudy with falls of rain-Largely cloudy and showery-Mostly cloudy and a few showers-Cloudy with rain at times-Mainly cloudy and showery rains and my favorite Rather cloudy with patchy showers. All of these forecasts were within a week and a half. I am happy to say they were only right twice.
The best was when Gary took Mungo for a walk and just when they had reached the farthest point in their walk the clouds burst. Both Gary and the dog had all their hair plastered to their bodies, I wish I had taken a pic! I don't have any special pics so I put one of our extras, hope you like it!
