Short week

[radegund]

Good thing I get a lie-in tomorrow, is all I can say.

Despite a genuine worry that my head was liable to drop off at any moment without warning and roll across the floor out of reach (you try operating torso and limbs remotely with a restricted field of vision - it's not as easy as you might think), I actually managed to get some work done yesterday. Concrete achievements; yay me. (Note to self: the planned unhooking of the Self-Worth module from the Achievement module does not seem to be progressing as smoothly as one might wish.)

This morning has so far gone far better than it might have, in that it included a lift to work from the lovely niallm and thus excluded the prospect of arriving sodden and miserable and taking until mid-afternoon to dry.

(Rain leaches all the prettiness out of Dublin. We need a geodesic dome and some huge sunlamps. And a nice underground irrigation system. Yes indeed. None of this inefficient top-down delivery.)

I'd better stop burbling and - oops - go pick up my head.

Hmm, I dunno, there are still pretty things in Dublin when it's raining. Of course it's possible that getting a kick out of walking around the city in the rain isn't normal, but I love watching the water drip off some of the buildings on Exchequer street, seeing the shiney cobblestones in Front Square and the rain hit the pond in Stephen's Green. Then again, I'm a grey-skies Northern European kind of guy.

Well, I didn't really mean it about the geodesic dome...

And you do have a point about the shininess and the dripping - it can be rather lovely.

What I particularly hate, I suppose, is the absence of freedom to accommodate the rain in my day. I can't, for instance, work from home on a wet morning, rather than get soaked walking in and have to sit shivering with icy feet for hours (that or carry a change of clothes, which presents its own problems). I don't mind rain as such - not at all, in fact - but I detest arriving wet and cold somewhere where I can't dry out and warm up.
