(Northern) Ireland

i've been there for a while now, and managed to catch it in the middle of pretty snow.



post-christmas the snow had come and gone, however, and the thaw had left millions of people across the whole of ireland without water.

needless to say, i was one of those in belfast who had no water - the outage lasted for 4 days, and the heat also went out on the third day. i think it's partly cos we're in an older estate; the boy had a few friends who were in a newer part of the city and they had water - thank goodness for their shower!

good thing the water is back now - not sure how long it'll last though - and well.. i'd rather have no heat than no water! anti-bacterial wipes and hand sanitisers can only do so much - there's nothing to be done about dirty hair; i couldnt find dry shampoo here though i know some places that sell it back home.

off to dublin tomorrow!
