Only In Ireland – This Is What Happens Every Time the Sun Comes Out

This is why we can't have nice things.

Rebecca McKnight

This is why we can’t have nice things. 

A week late, the official Leaving Cert weather has arrived.

Up and down the country, poor students are battling the scariest set of exams known to man in scratchy acrylic and wool uniforms that aren’t exactly helping the sweat production issue. The rest of us are busy trying to find a legitimate excuse to leave work early, shed as much of our clothes as humanly possible and greatly increase the time spent in a beer garden or on a beach.

While the old proverb goes “What is seldom is wonderful”, it’s also fair to say that what is seldom makes us lose the run of ourselves entirely.

This week, we’ve asked Her.ie readers to send us in their sunny snaps via Snapchat. (You can follow us there too – we’re at her.ie)

Some of you got up early to maximise your enjoyment of the Irish summer…

Some of you felt inspired to make a summery snack

Some of you decided to make the most of nature with a walk

Or with a lie down

Some of you made it a Dog Day Afternoon

While others indulged in a spot of gardening

Many of you decided to dine al fresco with a cold one

So far, so good. But no matter what – there is ALWAYS one
