The sun is shining! The birds are singing! And even better.... The essay is in!!!
One down, two to go.
But what I dont understand is, what idiot decided that the school/college year would end just as the weather is at its finest? It is taken as a given that the minute the pressure is on to finish that essay, or study for that exam, the sun starts splitting the rocks, and the one chance that us Irish have to top up our severely diminished levels of Vitamin D is lost to books and computer screens.
But I must say, the Irish in the sunshine is a comedy that never grows old. Due to its rarety in this emerald isle, there resides within the psyche of the Irish mind the deep need to make the most of the sunshine when it decides to make a rare appearence. The minute we wake up and look outside to see the sun gleaming, the shorts/skirts/skimpy item of clothing discarded to the back of the wardrobe after the one day of sunshine last year are donned, and despite the fact that it realistically 12 degrees out, the deck chairs are placed in the garden and the BBQ is lit.
The result of all this? A really bad cold and €20 worth of good meat gone to waste at the hands of an overenthusiastic father with parafin oil in one hand and skewers in the other.
