CAPEL STREET AND BOLTON STREET HAD A POSITIVE VIBE DESPITE THE RAIN

The blackboard notice on Capel Street said “Positive Vibes Only It Is Only A Bit Of Rain” and to be honest everyone including those who had been soaked were in good humour.

According to Met Éireann, we were in for ‘mixed conditions’ over the weekend. Saturday was going to remain blustery in the morning and the southern and eastern parts of the country ere due to be hit by strong winds in parts. They were correct … many parts of Dublin were flooded on Saturday and to a lesser extent on Sunday.

I was awakened early on Sunday morning by the noise created by a sporting event at Henrietta Flats so I decided leave the area and get a bus to St Anne’s park in Raheny. At about lunch time there was a really intense rain storm and a path that I was walking along became a stream. I was lucky as I found shelter under a group of really large trees.

When the rain stopped I walked to the bus shelter at Doyle’s lane and as soon as I arrived at the shelter it began to rain and while I was there two large dogs arrived as, like me, they were seeking shelter from the rain. An hour later I arrived in the city centre but while walking along Abbey street I had to seek shelter from another intense rain storm and there was much flooding to be seen along Abbey Street, Capel street and Bolton Street.
