Geoff picked me up from the airport, after having been in Ireland for my sister’s birthday. It was supposed to be a surprise, but the cat was let out of the bag by someone in a birthday card which arrived two days before me. Hmmmmm.

We left the airport and drove past Santa Brigida, but it was howling, so we drove straight to Rupit, checked the house and went for a walk in the cold sunshine. Work in the afternoon. Hope the weather picks up soon!

Geoff’s comments: 8 day forecast getting worse now…… waste of time looking at it really.
