mad 31 January 2008
re the last blog, I should clarify that Donegal people are no madder than any other variety, though the constant rain must be a factor in the lunacy stakes. I grew up in Galway in the west of Ireland and it was DAMP most of the time…and I probably am a bit ‘other’ as a result. Ye all know that I think that’s why we share a common sense of humour and tragedy (nearly one and the same thing) with the Russians: the weather…it’s harsh and it moulds us
