Sunshine for President!

18 to 24 degrees!  Yes, that's what the weather people on the radio this morning said the temperature would be today.  18 to 24 degrees.  I thought I had tuned into the wrong station.  I had to get out of bed and look out of the window to make sure I was in the right country. 

It's wonderful.  A bit late in the year, but still wonderful!

I was going to listen to the seven 'Presedential Candidates' debate on the radio at lunchtime, but instead  I made my escape from the Dungeon, went up in the fireman's lift, and out into the beautiful sunshine.  And to my amazement, on the lawn at the side of the Terminal building, the sprinklers were on!  Sprinklers?  In Dublin?  Unheard of!!  As if we don't get enough rain!!  Although it was nice to watch them and listen to the sound of the water spraying, it made the sunshine even more enjoyable.  It reminded me of being on holiday in Rojales, sitting on the terrace in the evening, opposite the golf course, sipping Cava, watching the sprinklers weaving and hissing soaking the putting greens, getting them ready for the next day, for the crazy people who play golf in the sunshine instead of sitting at the pool or on the beach.

I suppose I should really have stayed downstairs and listened to the debate and showed some interest in the upcoming election, but it really is hard to get inspired by any of the candidates.  I don't know how I am going to vote.  But I will vote.  I will just have to hope that one of them will stand out from the crowd and 'shine' for me like the sunshine today.

I'll read through their manifesto's and whichever of them promises sunshine everyday for everybody, will get my vote!

Now, time to eat my 'Fit for a President' sandwich.

Food and sunshine, that's all I need.  Oh wait.....maybe some Cava too!
