Hurry up and take in the roads.
Oh Dear God, not a yellow alert for Leinster! There could be a biblical flood in the other 3 provinces, affecting possibly as many people and we’d be lucky to hear about it….
Sun’s scorching here in Dublin now that the rain’s stopped. Wait now for the cry that we don’t have enough reservoirs.
