Short & Sweet; & Rather Soaked

We've had such nice weather these past weeks. No rain, usually sunny...although, it was cold.

& then today happened. The one day I had to walk all over town, the sky decided to set a steady, light rain over Cork. For the entire day...or at least the day thus far.
So now my jeans are wet, my hair is damp, my shoes are soaked. & all for a tour of the Cork City & County Archives! The things I do for history.

It's times like this that I miss Texas sunshine. &, in a way, Texas thunderstorms - because they usually don't last all day long; the storm blows through quickly & doesn't sit overhead.

But, enough of my complaints about the weather...for now, anyway.

I've actually been getting work done on my thesis. & for once I'm ahead of the curve in starting early...most other people haven't done much at all. I'm sure it's because we don't have any deadlines yet, and so the motivation isn't there at all.

Depending on the weather tomorrow, I might go visit some random Cork town. I'm partial to Youghal right now. & only in part because you pronounce it "yawl" (technically) & which I always think of as "y'all" - the sign of a true Southerner, I think.

For those who actually read this: sorry for not updating in a while. But, I've really done nothing super interesting lately. I'm sure things will pick up later...I mean, I will be heading to Dublin for class later this month...and that will undoubtedly be interesting.
