    This autumn has all together been very good so far and the amount of sunshine we've had since 1st of September really shows up how awful the summer was.

    Great waves and swell on the coasts today.

    Very cold fresh start this morning down to 7.1C in a stiff wind, must have been cold out there today.

    I get great value out of a good long walk on a day like today because I get a good airing out and all it takes is a quick shower when home.

    Just back from a vigorous 4k up and 4k down a hill with a friend. Took advantage of a slight easing of the heavy rain and am delighted we did. It was so warm that a light mist on the way down was refreshing. Was just in the door when it started lashing again. West Limerick

    Is that window of half decent weather still holding steady for tomorrow lunchtime onward before the weekend washout?

    Need to figure out when I'll get a decent cycle in and that is looking the best bet.
