It worked!
I demanded sunshine and we got it. I can now be officially classified as a deity. Start praying to me plebs.
We just had a bee-utiful sunny day in Salthill (Don't care about the rest of Ireland). At 2pm I went for a run from Knocknacarra, down to the shore behind the golf club, whole length of the prom and back :)
Saw a fantabulous Pirates of the Carribbean style ship sail into the bay and a lot of smiley, happy people.
Later I came back to Ladies beach armed with a bikini and had a bracing swim in the cold, clear, wavey Atlantic Ocean. It was agony for about 5 minutes and then, sheer heaven. I saw Marie Joyce drying off as I went in. It's thanks to her that I (and half of Galway) can swim. She's one of those invincible Galwawegians that swims in the Bay all year round. I want to be like her when I grow up.
Met Eireann have just predicted a crazy storm over Ireland tonight or tomorrow. I don't care; I can still feel sand in between my toes and the glow of sun on my skin.

Jesus that's a serious run, were you actually running or were you doing that glorified walk I see so many joggers do? You know the one, feet rising a bare inch off the ground, arms immobile at the side... like a duck learning to waddle.
My run today was an 8 minute asthma attack, but I was actually running (I think... it's one of those ones where you think you look like a hot shot, but if you saw a video of yourself you'd never attempt leaving the house again. Ditto dancing in a club).
Anyway, my point is, bring back forehead bands! Watched Jaws 3 the other night and there was a classic on a waitress, just a wollen band going around her forehead. 80s magic.
Well when I run, I run but I'm usually wheezing after about 7 minutes, then I stroll for a while get distracted looking at the seagulls, realise I'm not labouring to ingest oxygen anymore and make myself start running again for oh about another 7 minutes.
Repeat ad prom finitum.
(Latin for 'to the end of the prom')
Could you demand some sunshine now please??
I shouldn't be getting seasonal effectiveness disorder in August.
Seasonal 'effectiveness' Disorder? Does that mean that because the weather is shite you're actually a productive and effecitve worker for once?
As for demanding sunshine again....
My powers are not to be thus abused.
Always the pedant Ms Bones....always the pedant.
And to answer your question, yes I am being productive at the moment. It is my last week of work :)
