Blissful beautiful day yesterday!

Driving is a great pleasure and release for me as I lose my physical ease of mobility more and more and I am of course new here so many "roads untravelled" which for me have a sacredness...

SUN! I explored Galway beyond Connemara and sun all the way. Shining off the lakes and ocean, even off the overspilling rivers....

No not warm; a definite chill in the air in exposed places and still snow atop the highest mountains when I came back to Connemara.

Long may this last!

Ah I could get used to this.. sitting on a rock by a stream, face lifted to WARM SUN and the robin singing his sweet song.. Sweet sweet day...

I drove to and past Killary Fjord yesterday and snow on two of the peaks there too; am not on first name terms with their Majestic Heights yet or ever....;)

But so quiet too.. no wind. shhhhh!

a peach of a day here, first day in well over a month that I didn't require a jacket to go outside.

yep same here, got the grass cut for the 1st time this year, took a while though, plenty of growth in it over the last 3 weeks

our garden is like a meadow and still way too wet to take the mower out.

Nice day today what is call a decent march day. Clouded over this pm and got a bit chilly but was lovely in the sun this morning. Ground way to wet to cut though. Would love a month of this.

yeah mine was like a meadow to, i just fired up the mower and mowed through it, to be fair the ground was dry, so was the grass that wasn't in shade, it was a lot better then i taught it was going to be, because on monday it was very squelchy under foot

You were very lucky in Clare this morning, I can see from the sattelite.

I'd say it's changed by now, heavy drizzle here in Fermoy.

Normal service resumed its grey dull and cool.

A few days like that are certainly nice but I have to say, I get bored of weather like that very quick. When the sky is consistently clear like that I begin to feel the sky has totally emptied itself or something. Like there is a void. This may be psychological though since I do live in a region that is one of, if not the dullest on the entire planet and such sunny scenes take a bit of getting used to. :P

Gonzo

back to the cool, grey and drizzly dank.

Very pleasant here with sunny intervals in between grey cloud - my favourite weather besides snowfall.

Brace yourself folks, the 'mercury could soar' to a whopping 14.0c this weekend! :eek: Time to bring out the sun tan lotion, sit around in fields and parks, wearing trendy shades, waving our hair and looking purrrdy; or queue up at the ice cream van because culture dictates that we must do such things when the pale, diluted, washed out Irish sun appears in early March.

Why is it that mass media outlets always seek to humour and appeal to the lowest common denominator? I guess there is money to be made from absolute bollix. :rolleyes:

That's by far the best thing I've ever read, I fully thought it was Waterford Whispers at first!

Temperatures soar to 14 f*ucking degrees ahahah

'Tis a gentle day out there. Calm and quiet and mild. The mountains are variously draped in mist, resting their Majestic Heights..

Just sheer bliss after gales and deluges... Enjoyed pottering around the "estate" earlier...

A resting place, this weather... may even get some small gardening done... Or just sit in the serenity.

Happy!

Stunning out today, would love to get the grass cut (I don't recall it having grown this much through a winter in a long time) but it's still too wet. In a sheltered spot you could sit out in a T-shirt!

West Clare.

Dry dull but very mild feeling out there. Everywhere is still wet though so no chance to cut grass. Not exactly what that ridiculous newspaper article reported surprise surprise.

Beautiful day in Castlebar, 15.1C with barely a puff of wind out.

Clonmel1000

Sun breaking through now it's lovely and pleasant.

Beautiful afternoon out

Announcing the arrival of blue skies in Galway city

It looked promising at around midday but the cloud thickened again in Waterford.

Spring on hold until tomorrow by the looks of it

connemara agrees and shares...

Funny; this is the first time since I came here back in January that we have had warm sun and the roof is ticking in the warmth! It is corrugated stuff that does that. The first sign of spring is a ticking roof!
