Diet Coke of Muggy...

Dublin is muggy right now. Not muggy in the Darwin, or Cairns, or Bangkok kind of way. Not even muggy in the Brisbane kind of way really. Perhaps just a diet coke kind of muggy… 1/2 a calorie of muggy. Mottled sky, trying to rain in a slightly “steamy” kind of way, and when you walk around for a while, you start to feel slightly damp (like when I walk to work). I laugh because the BBC news goes on and on about “uncomfortable” sleeping conditions, as it won’t go “under 14c tonight”. But you have to remember, most Irish people would melt if they went to Bali or Bangkok… they would simply vanish and cease to be. Heat here is limited to around 20c, and if it goes higher than that, the roads start to melt too. But you still see smoke coming from chimneys, and people walking around in coats. Funny old Dublin.
