Welcome to the Blind by Podcast.

If this is your first episode, consider going back to an earlier podcast to familiarize yourself with the lore of this podcast.

And if you're a regular listener, a steaming queva, a ten-foot decklin, you know the crack.

As he can guess from the title of this week's episode,

we are in the midst of a very unpleasant heat wave here in Ireland,

which is going to last.

It's been going for about six days and it's going to last for another ten or twelve,

which is rare.

We rarely get almost a fortnight of sustained, dry, sunny weather.

Irish weather is chaotic, unpredictable, irrational, jacket in the morning because you're freezing,

t-shirt in the daytime because you're too hot,

and then Umbrella by 3pm because it's lashing rain,

and then maybe hailstones in the evening just for the crack, with a bit of sun at the end.

So much of our small talking conversation is about the weather.

Like I remember a couple of years ago I was doing I was doing an ad campaign for a brand of

Irish tomato ketchup and they were launching barbecue sauces and the specific messaging of the

campaign was how easy it was to take their barbecue sauces indoors if it happened to rain in

the middle of the barbecue.

Because that's how you have to have barbecues in Ireland.

You have to prepare the barbecue in such a way that everything can be moved indoors in under 15 minutes

if that's what needs to happen.
