My goodness the weather!

These pics are of Daniel with some friends at a pretty nice traditional pub in ireland, Dan helping out with some 'fish research' in Ireland, and us out by a lake in County Kerry.
Well the weather here has been shocking! A white van has been swaying and feeling the pain of the hard wind which is pounding outside as I write... perhaps the worst weather we have experienced. But the locals tell us this is unusual and they only get a couple of storms a winter, so let's hope this is the worst of it! A guy was even blown in from a bridge into the water and was rescued... not sure how many pints he had though (lol). This weekend we are taking it easy... last weekend we went to county Kerry, nearby, and met up with a mate of ours from England. He was studying the fish there and we helped him out but again the weather was awful! One one occasion I stayed in the van and let Daniel get saturated while he helped to measure fish in the wind and rain. Not a great deal happening of late... school is getting a bit better and I have been to some pretty nice social events for the paper. Our time is going by so quickly here so we want to get away for a few more weekends in the van and tear around Ireland.
