Looking for water

RTE news warned to preserve water. At a visit to Tesco I noticed that the shelf with drinking water was empty and I was secretly amused how easily people panic when they see warnings on the news.
Back home I tried to go for a shower, but there was no water coming from the mains. Not laughing quite so hard any more...

Snow, this time for real

Last night we walked through the most beautiful winter wonderland.
The world had gone quiet and was wrapped in beautiful white fluffy snow. There were almost no cars on the street and it was snowing really heavily. Instead of cars there were lots of children and even adults on the street making snow balls and chasing each other. Quite a nice atmosphere (though when will people figure out to wear hats and gloves when it snows).
I feel a bit responsible for the snow chaos. After a few years in Ireland I have started to miss seasons and maybe I have fantasized just a bit too much about a calm world wrapped in fluffy snow. If my theory is right than Ireland should see a real summer this year.
Let's wait and see what happens.
