Storm brewing!!!

A MAJOR STORM WILL AFFECT ALL PARTS OF IRELAND DURING WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. SOME STRUCTURAL DAMAGE AND FLOODING CAN BE EXPECTED. Tolka park workers, get the sand bags out because you know what happened before and all that money achieved by your european run could well dissappear if tolka is damaged.

And with less than usual timing I'm flying home for the weekend with the wife and kids. Sick bags at the ready...

Had a couple of bumpy landings in Cork over the years (My dad lives in Cobh) but not looking forward to it tomorrow at all. Still, it beats being thrown about in the Irish sea.
Have a safe journey.

Used to it at this stage.
It scares me more to be a passenger in a car on the roads in Ireland, to be honest.
Safe trip to you and yours.

I'm after seeing one magpie outside my window!

This trip home could be very "interesting."

Ah, we'll be fine. It's a pain if they divert us to Shannon, so I've made sure we bring enough stuff to keep the kids happy if the journey is longer than usual.
The magpipe population has grown beyond all proportion due to the ridiculous abundance of roadkilll, and is no longer to be trusted as an omen, portent or other source of divination.

I've just tripped over a black cat as I ducked under a ladder.
I fell forward and broke a huge mirror.
I'm done for!

I've got a Perl scripting manual to keep me "entertained."
Should be asleep in no time.
