Storm Chandra batters Ireland with high winds and rain…

If you have been brave enough to open the curtains, you may have noticed that it’s a bit wet and windy outside. The weather forecast says it’s 5 degrees, but the feels-like temperature is minus 7. Ouch! A day for staying in front of the fire, or for those of us without open fires, sticking one of those fireplace videos on YouTube on the TV.

It has been a ridiculously wet past few weeks. When I go for my stroll around the park, the poor old grass is completely saturated, and the ground can’t hold any more water.

It’s a day for drinking tea and reading a good book. Stay safe.
