1.43pm Friday 20 December 2013

Just resolved this morning's blogging problem - I unplugged the computer during yesterday's thunder/lightning/hail storm and then computer got the date wrong when re-connected. I've just adjusted the date to 20 December 2013, so all is working correctly on this second shortest day of the year. (for the very shortest day, check Newgrange winter solstice details  http://www.irishtimes.com/news/science/shedding-light-on-winter-solstice-at-newgrange-1.1629602  or, if you're planning to be there,   http://www.newgrange.com/news54.htm )

This morning's photos below. Waves are bigger now, 4-5 foot with a gusty force 6 southeasterly offshore wind lifting them.
