What does a country that can't guarantee good weather do during June, July and August? Act like it's summer anyway, of course!
Year in, year out, we pray for a glorious heatwave, complain when we get one, and then act shocked when it goes away.
BUT, something that shocks us (in a good way) is the resilience of the Irish spirit, when it comes to the sun, or lack thereof.
Yaaaaas Ireland, yaaassss.
However rare they may be.
Naturally.
Ain't no party like a massive rain party!
To the pub!
Sweating buckets in the #irishsummer heat today. Credit to those brave folk ???? in the nip in #DunLaoghaire harbour. It's not THAT warm!

Pink to make the boys wink, amirite?
We're having a bloody barbecue.
...in mid-July.
Show a man some rain, and he'll swim forever.
Very Irish scene - 3 kids in a paddling pool - wearing wetsuits! #irishsummer

Actually, definitely a pint.
Even if it is less then 5° in the water itself...
