Most people were hoping to see snow falling in Joycean quantities around the country this week, as a distraction from you know what.
It would be Just 24 or 48 hours of something different to look at, a nice distraction from the daily torment of you know what.
But you know what, it didn't happen for much of the country. At least not up to the time of writing. The weather teaches us something important about life – it’s unpredictable and you never quite know what tomorrow will bring.
So we all hope for a brighter, better, tomorrow. I very much look forward to the day that I am writing my last Saturday long read on Covid-19.
