A Summers Day

Well here we go again, 38 degrees, this is madness.  Thankfully when we moved from Dublin we had enought money (Celtic Tiger and all that) to be able to buy a lovely cool house with Air Con, not too far from the beach, five min car drive.  So today has been mostly spent taking it easy messing about ont he computor and meeting up early this morning before the heat suffocated me with a friend for coffee.  The kids are now at the beach having an evenning dip and will be home for bbq in an hour or so.  I posted two parcels one to my daughte rin the UK just some Aussie Aussie Aussie stuff as she will be celebrating Australia day in England and needs to have the obligatory face tattoos and flags.  The other parcel to a niece who turned 21 over Christmas.  I sent her a lovely watch and hope she likes it.  The evening sun is starting to set and the garden is full of bird song, the shade and shadows made by our large trees looks inviting and I know where I'll be settling for the evening to await the cool coastal breezes.  Life is good.
