Actually, it turns out that today was the best day all summer. Hoorah? I went for another walk yesterday evening, in one of the fields directly behind my house. The grass has been let grow very long; I subsequently discovered that it's because they're going to turn it into sileage. They then make fertiliser out of it - and it creates a very memorable smell as it's spread around the fields. Memorable? Unforgettable.

Also, if anyone's interested, Ireland's classical music radio station is currently running a show on its new-music programme dedicated to Johnny Greenwood. You know - Radiohead's guitarist, and the composer of the There Will Be Blood soundtrack. You can catch it here. It's well weird.

The weather today is beautiful. It's undoubtedly the finest day we've had all summer. The only thing is, it's not summer, which means someone is taking the mick, and I very much wish He wouldn't be so capricious.

I'm going to go walking.

LATER ON: Ireland's weather is mainly rain, but this means that the odd time it's not raining our green is just about the greenest you can ever hope to see. I went for a walk along some neighbouring fields, and it was absolutely unspeakably beautiful.
