Welcome to the Bard Shitt District, you barbituate Bridget's.

It's the Blind Buy podcast.

If this is your first episode, consider going back to an earlier episode

to familiarize yourself with the Lord of this podcast.

It's desperately humid here in Limerick.

Humid, hot, misty, drizzly,

This specific weather in Ireland is what I would pang for, I'd long for it.

It's the weather that reminds you Ireland is a rainforest. Ireland is a mid-Atlantic

rainforest we just don't have any trees left and we haven't had those trees

for over a thousand years but but we live in a rainforest, a desertified rainforest.

And in July, we get this thick humidity, a gossamer veil of mist that deceives you. Rain drops so small

that you assume they can't get you wet, but you step out on it for a minute and you're soaked.

We're talking about very, very high humidity.

Like, I don't know what humidity it is now.

Hold on a second.

Hey, Siri, what, what, what's the humidity today?

The humidity will be up to 70% today.

It's not sticky because there's such a stinging freshness to it.
