Heatwave

...

Love the smell of sun dried laundry

Last week’s 5 day heatwave was certainly unusual for the month of June with temperatures soaring into the mid 20s.

But this week we are back to experiencing the typically insane Irish weather that I have given up drying my clothes out in the garden as one minute it could be all sunny and bright and the next minute, it’s all gloomy with drizzling rain.

Once again I began comparing photos in my album and you  could clearly see how the warm sunny weather brought most people out of their homes.

Sizzling June 2009

The weather makes such a big difference to a scene.

Bitter cold and wintry December

The exact same spot. Bitter cold and wintry December

Anyway, on a separate note, last week too I received the worst possible news one could ever ask for. It was devastating to hear that one of my work colleagues whom I used to have daily lunches with at the hospital was one of the unfortunate passengers on that ill-fated flight 447 enroute to Paris. While last week’s sunshine may be an uplift in someone’s spirit, hearing news like this would definitely set you down in the lowest of moods. I kept thinking of her fate everytime I wake up in the middle of the night.

My heart goes to her family, I cannot imagine what they are going through now. May you rest in peace.
