L'Irlande et la météo
You never have to languish, as directly attacking this series of blog reporting on my new country by the question you're asking all when we evoke the Celtic countries: what time is it?
Indeed, one of the prejudices The most recurring to Ireland is that there's cold and it rains all the time.
Yes!
Ok, I caricature a bit too.
To be more exact, there is still one in two chance of having a day without rain.
Odds two days I hear, because the 363 other days you can be sure at one time or another to be entitled to a few drops
But we made it very quickly.
same time, there was no choice.
Would that my first morning, a Sunday in mid January.
returned later, much needed sleep.
And then, O joy, I am awakened by sunlight passing through the curtains. All
glad I got up, spread the cloth and come face to face with ... rain.
And yes, even when it's fine he must float in this damn country.
the afternoon during a lull, coming back from my trip to the races (those of the previous episode), I experienced another mortal enemy in the region: the wind.
The icy wind, composed of tiny particles cryopreserved with blades of ice and that seeps into the smallest holes of your clothes to pick you scratch the skin.
Eyes half-closed to protect my eyesight, I was trying somehow to return home, wondering if I survive when I pass a little old hands in his pockets smiling at me and said "Nice breeze!"
Arg, if this is the way to welcome the migrants I prefer to go into exile in countries where it is allowed to base of flower necklace deposited by a pretty young vahinée topless. How to Yemen!
But perhaps that despite these experiences you are always doubtful about the weather conditions here.
You say "yes, but hey, it's the same everywhere, too bad it does not change the masses of Brittany (true) ".
But here is assumed fully integrated into the culture, lifestyle and even in business.
An example?
I think it the only place in the souvenir shops at the stand of umbrella, you have a promotion if you buy 3 at once!
And if you do buy one, by saying "oh no when bein well, that's enough, "bein two weeks later, when a great big gust of wind has made you also use a computer running Windows Vista and one gigabyte of RAM, you bein you say that the promo n is not that stupid.
Another example, which I think sums up the situation yourself:
At my office we've had solar powered calculators.
Well, my calculator to work done by the sun, it still has a AA battery built, just in case!
It speaks volumes about the confidence of the Irish to the Sun.
Despite this, people still try to reassure you when you come.
During my first days I was told that "Ouiiii, time is vraiiii is not CAAA, but at least it's always between 5 and 20 degrees, so it was right in the wind and rain, but it everything! "
Only two weeks after my arrival, a huge snowstorm interspersed with downpours of hail for two days. It promised for later.
There's really more my poor season Lucette!
