I can't wait!!

Does nobody else share my love of heavy rain?

KateP and ArdT do. A right bunch of rain weirdos ye are.

It sounds so great when it falls. It's nature's symphony orchestra.

True, but who doesn't love a free bit of music?

It's working, we're on to a winner here!

I love playing a rugby match in the pouring rain. It keeps it in the forwards, which is where I play, as well as sorting out the boys from the men in the ball handling stakes.

It can be a good leveller for the better players. Hard man for the hard road

Still lashing, there's some amount of rain falling. It's a saturated Saturday!

The Wagnerian majesty of it all, eh, Ard?

M50 is by all accounts a car park, and has been for the last number of hours. I chickened out of going to Wicklow at half five as I manoeuvred the M7 at low speed (horrid experience) and heard that the spot I'd intended to go to was flooded anyway.

Best friend and I spent an afternoon puddle-jumping not too long ago - great, great fun. Got utterly soaked from head to toe - ended up sitting on our wet asses in huge pools of water, laughing our stupid hearts out. I highly recommend it.

alot of the main routes through the north inner city are flooded as the Tolka burst its banks.

The heavens literally this moment just burst again. We have rain

Yeh, the scouts have decided to vacate Punchestown a day early, but the buses can't get there now. M1 is closed and M50 almost impassable. Darts not running in places, river in Co. Laois burst....madness

Yikes! I know a few people there, no doubt they will have tales to tell! One would have thought the M50 would have better drainage. I suppose given all the road works it has been diminished.

The girlfriend is sailing up on Lough Erne near Enniskillen. Luckily she got away earlier in the day and is happy as larry up there.

The leadwork at Squire Hall has been sorely tested this last week. Clearing lead gutters in the rain is not fun.

The Cookie Compound while situated on the banks of the Liffey ramains dry.

And Tullamore Show has been cancelled for the second year in a row. Financially, that could mark the end of what has been an institution.

According to the lady from the MET office on the nine o'clock news this is the most rain we have had in 24 hours since Hurricane Charlie, at 560 mm.

There was a double local tragedy today when the church and pub were lost to the deluge.

Just got back from a bit of Bach, and fireworks. Dry as a bone here, but in six hours time some of that floodwater will come flying down our river. If it rains tonight we may get the sandbags out.

Bach?

Here was the wind yesterday - nearly hit the 600 MW out of the maximum 860 or so if it's all metered. There's a hurricane on the way someone said?

Lovely sunny morning here now. Forecast is for mixed day of sun and showers. I dislike those sorts of days, I wish the weather would just decide and fully commit to one or the other.

Check out the rain at the Olympics. The BBc studio is leaking and the presenter has a bucket beside her

Ane it leaves it too warm to wear a rain jacket. I'm holding out for some thunder, I LOVE thunder.

I heard. It seems there is a lot of flooding and some show in Tullamore at which our esteemed Taoiseach was expected was cancelled due to the inclement weather. It sounds bad. What's today like?
