Sunshine in Dublin?

The weather has been cold and wet and generally grim in Dublin recently - our sailing was cancelled tonight due to gale warnings. However, we have seen some sunshine recently - when our friends Alison and Michael came over from Ripon, we took a walk a long the sea front between Blackrock and Dun Laoghaire. When we got there, we found the rest of the city was also there! Alison and Michael actually braved it for a swim - whilst Sarah and I sat on the rocks.

We also saw a seal swimming off the rocks. Looks cute? Apparently a sailor loses a finger to one of these monsters every year!
Charlotte tells us that there has been flooding in Sheffield - in fact she had to abandon her car and walk home in the pouring rain.
Anyway, looks like we're going to be blessed with a day of sunshine in Dublin on Thursday - I'm laying out my t-shirt and sunscreen just in case... http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?world=0031

Yeah, well we had a nice time out in the bay in the sunshine on Wednesday. Can't blame the Beeb for failing to predict our wonderful Irish weather, Dizz.
