Now now, 'legend' might be stretching it a tad.

Well I wouldn't be entertaining the idea of going to Canada for any old plain Jane now would I?

Not a single blackberry ripening on the bushes behind my house. No blackberry jam to get me through to Cakemas. Arse.

I have to say it's actually been one of my better ones.

End of May/early June I spent in Cuba with a mate of mine and without doubt it blew away every other holiday we've been on. The day after returning I had a 3 night stag in Dingle on the June bank hol weekend and it was the best weekend of the summer without doubt (weather wise too). That wedding was on 6 weeks later and turned out to be the 2nd best weekend of weather! The weekend after that was another mates stag in Liverpool. Had something on every other weekend in June/July as well.

The one downside was that this incredible French Canadian girl I met in Cuba was trying to come over at the end of July to visit, but couldn't for several reasons. However, the good times hopefully aren't over yet as I'm very close to booking flights to Montreal to go there for the second half of September.

End of September is the start of my burglar season..

summer extends for the whole months of June, July, and August in the northern hemisphere

Winter is coming!

Biggins · 31-08-2011 04:30PM

Bloody glad its over.

Stinicker · 31-08-2011 04:47PM

Eventually we can get rid of this sh1te we call a summer and we can look forward to some decent heavy snowfalls and proper cold weather. I reckon we hardly got 10-12 true cloudless warm dry days this summer, this gray overcast sh1te we always get is hardly a summer is it.

I hate the routine and structure that is the school year.
But this year I can't wait for it to begin.
Cooped up inside with the kids most of the summer is not fun.
Weather too bad most of the time.
Got sick so couldn't even go on my honeymoon

I love the miserable dark cold days and nights of winter being warmed up by hours of Soccer Saturday, The Premiership, Magners league ( or modern day equivalent) & the Heineken Cup.
Its also a time where we welcome back the Late Late Show and its second rated cousin on Saturday night, which I rearly bother watching because of my aforementioned sporting commitments.Also those pesky kids are all locked up in their rooms doing their homework giving the neighbourhood a beautiful silence instead of the racket of joyous play.

Bah humbug!

But I wholeheartedly agree.

I like the Summer months but I love Winter, I am one of those people who start looking forward to Christmas at the start of November.

DEFTLEFTHAND · 31-08-2011 05:23PM

I just hope we don't get a wet winter now, you know the kinda of one where the only distinguishable feature from summer is the shorter days.

I don't call it anything, they're the mean temperatures for Ireland that I copied and pasted, it's not my opinion on the weather.

Kev_ps3 · 31-08-2011 06:11PM

Summer finished a month ago

In my hometown the temperature when I go to bed can be 25+ during summer.

The Irish calendar seems to go by what is happening in nature

Spring - February, March, April - plants are coming back to life
Summer - May, June, July - plants are growing like mad
Autumn - August, September, October - harvest
Winter - November, December, January - plants are dead/dormant

In Irish September = Meán Fómhair meaning the middle of the harvest and October = Deireadh Fómhair meaning the end of the harvest

Summer is not over until School, College and The Late Late show are back, except it and move on

Cathaoirleach · 31-08-2011 06:45PM

Ireland doesn't have seasons - just different temperatures of wet.

Neither are "wrong". In Ireland at least anyway. Go anywhere else and June-August is the only dog in town.

Summer starts tomorrow when the kids go back to school. True story.

westendgirlie · 31-08-2011 08:14PM

Well I'm sitting infront of a roaring fire so it must still be summer

Bye bye summer 2011
