Distinctly peculiar
Oct. 22nd, 2003 10:10 amOK, so, Dubliners, think back on the year to date.
We started with the tail-end of a fairly standard winter - cold, dark, miserable and so on. Nothing enormously remarkable about that.
We then moved on to one of the most perfect springs it has ever been my pleasure to experience (remember April?).
Then - and this is the part that really worries me - we had what can only be described as a proper summer.
And then it goes all autumnal in September - mists, mellow fruitfulness, the lot - and now we're having equinoctial storms, bang on cue.
There's something fishy going on. I very much fear that we may be experiencing - Good Omens fans please note - normal weather for the time of year.
Edited to say: Thank you, kind friends, for refraining from pointing out that the Equinox was this time last month. My brain is addled. Oh, well.
