Rain and birds.

Hi there folks,

I thought I'd post a short update for the week as we will be away this weekend.

It's raining again, we had a good 6 days without any real rain but today it is definitely (http://www.d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y.com just for you Bee) back to the wet stuff. We're really hoping for good weekend weather for our trip to the Aran Islands so if it needs to rain now then so be it. The Islands are supposed to be an impressive place of natural beauty so we'll be sure to take lots of photos.

We were lucky enough to be woken by the dawn chorus here a few days ago. Unfortunately it wasn't the sweet sounding titter of birds that you get back home but the deafening cawing of crows. Big black crows that look like the ones in Hitchcock films are plentiful around here and are really quite creepy. We'd never heard them in such large numbers or so early in the morning before and haven't heard them since. They woke us up at about 6am and "sang" until 6.30am, we weren't impressed.

We've booked a Paddywagon tour to see Belfast and Derry for next weekend so there should soon be plenty of more interesting things than rain for us to share with you.

Love to all,
Aimee
