Gov. Malesh Gail, you steaming quivers. Welcome to the blind by podcast. How is everybody

I hope you're enjoying the nice weather? I'm... I'm wet and I'm my old fucking vaccine

is what I'm doing. I've applied for my vaccine and I'm waiting for the text that tells me

I can have vaccine number one. We were supposed to... we were supposed to kinda come out

of lockdown this week. They were supposed to allow a little bit of indoor dining. Currently,

if you wanna have a cup of coffee or a meal, you can't sit indoors, you have to sit outdoors.

Now this has actually been quite nice. It has been very, very nice. So we don't really

have a tradition in Ireland of outdoor dining, not like they do in Spain or in Italy or France.

We don't have that tradition and in Limräck, my city, which is usually very quiet, empty,

in fact, Limräck city centre is often empty. It's been magnificent the past few weeks

because you've got entire streets, restaurants and tables and chairs outside and loads of

people just eating and enjoying the space and then what this has done is it's had a psychological

impact on anyone who's watching. So not only have you got people eating sitting down in

restaurants outside, but you've got people who would normally just walk through the streets

are now magnetised there because there's other people there and you just have like groups

of people standing around talking and chilling out. And it feels like people are using public

space properly and socially and it's magnificent because I've never seen Limräck so alive.

Maybe back in the Celtic Tiger days when I was younger, but in the past 10 years I've

never seen Limräck so alive with so many people just living their lives. It's been fantastic.

Really really nice. Boss, it's fucking Ireland. And July is a bit of an angry month. July is

a square all month because it's one of these things about Ireland. You know June is very

dry and hot and we have this that we've got a culture of shame in Ireland, a culture of shame
