Hamsters are adorable.

*gently pulls Vlad away and pets him some more, quite used to this, as she had a vicious cactus rat for a pet as a little girl*

Er, it's not really a good idea for me to wear green or orange in Northern Ireland.

Can I just wear blue or pink or something?

*waves at Aika*

*smirks that here, it's cool and rainy*

*will wear Black* I think that's more or less neutral here.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Yes, but you see, to us above, oh, 52 degrees north, 74 is sweltering. I was dripping sweat on Thursday because it was 74.

*steals rain back and hoardes it*

Ireland doesn't have enough, after all.

~~~~~~~~~~

Nah, 300 days of rain a year is plenty for me, thanks.

~~~~~~~~~

We're not low, thanks.

I was in Seattle in '98. Couldn't believe the rain. Loved Seattle, though. Had a blast. Was there on a tour with my choir. Fantastic place.

*drinks tea*

I have to head into town later today. No point yet, though. Nothing will be open until at least noon on a Sunday.

Northern Ireland dies on Sundays.

When I was in Belfast, I couldn't even find anywhere to eat before about 5pm.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Yeah, a lot of it has to do with Ian Paisley and the DUP...they pushed hard a bit back to get everything closed on Sunday. Didn't work, but did quite a good job.

Thankfully, I live in a Nationalist area, so more stuff is open.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Argh, the stores don't open until 1pm!

*waits another hour*
