Anyways, we were all very tired from the long night at the pub. But it was a beautiful day out. However, there was some not-so-fun work to be done…lots of weeding, taking down dead wood and removing ivy from the wall. It was a long hot day that seemed to get up to 80 degrees (I don’t actually know what that is in Celsius for those of you in that system).
Quick note about the weather in Ireland: it’s crazy.
Aidan likes to joke we’re in “Sunny Ireland,” which I guess isn’t wrong because during the spring/summer (now) it is sunny from about 4 am to 11pm. Yes, the sun seems it is at its highest point at like 4pm…crazy.
But it never gets above 85 degrees or so, it’s never humid, and when the sun goes down at night, it hits like 40 degrees. It rains a lot, can be cloudy a lot, rarely snows and overall no weather report should be relied on.
I guess this all makes for great agriculture, as the garden has just about every fruit and vegetable except citrus fruits and bananas…there’s even a kiwi tree that gets kiwis!
