As you can probably tell from the title of my post, it has been raining here, a lot, even by Irish standards. It is the wettest August on record, and it's only the 17th! Last weekend we headed to Louisburgh- we did a tasting at the hotel where the Irish reception is being held and otherwise just hung out watching tv, reading, and staying inside!
This weekend, Paul's mom, aunt, and sister came to stay from Friday afternoon until this morning. We were mother-of-the-groom shopping. We went to a shop known for it's "mother outfits" about an hour from here. While we were there, it started pouring rain. We drove back through pouring rain and flooded roads. Luckily my car is fairly high and Paul's mom found an outfit too! Paul's aunt was going to head back to her home in County Kerry yesterday evening (by train), but there had been a train derailment caused by a landslide due to the heavy rains on that line. Luckily no one was hurt and everyone was able to travel this morning. I might start building an ark soon!
Other than that, not too much out of the ordinary is going on here. Work is going well for both of us, Paul races next weekend near Dublin, and we're working on the final details of the wedding that can be worked on from afar!
