< is in Scotland right now.

< says SCOTTLAND FOREEVR!!

*ACCORDION PLAYING FUCK YEAH*

< thinks bagpipes would be a better fit than the accordion.

< thinks SCOTLAND FOREVER should only be played if said person plans on blasting it on full volume and breaking ones speakers
That is the only appropriate way < thinks.

< is finding it very warm today. < isn't sure if it's just < or whether it's very humid.

< says it’s hot as hell here too

< says it’s actually quite cold in Scotland! Had to wear <‘s hoodie out today.

< thinks it's interesting, since Scotland isn't really too far.

Yeah < was very surprised as well. < was thinking Ireland must be somehow even more windy as well.

< was actually told that Ireland seemed very windy by a Swedish person who came over. < supposes it makes sense given how small it is, so you're never extremely far from the coast in most places.

Gosh, <‘ll be in for a treat when < visits in October then.

< heard about the Irish Coast and was reminded of how a lot of people in the Scottish/Irish coasts have Uralic DNA because Finnish and Estonian sailors were really active around there in the 1700s and 1800s. Just a cool fact < wanted to share.

It's not windy all the time 24/7 but it just happens to be common. Also yeah there is a round tower still standing not too far from where < lives. It dates back to the 8th or 9th century. Crazy to think there would have been people in there batting for their lives at some point and now it's just a tower in the middle of a village with a little club for it.

< can see that about a third of our island's electricity is coming from wind generation right now, which isn't the lowest it can be, but it's far from the highest too

< is actually surprised that it's not a lot higher than this.

< thinks ^’s lucky that ^ lives in such an old village. <‘s place used to be forest until someone found some minerals in nearby rocks 400 years ago.

< doesn't specifically live in that village, but it's not too far away from <. Also < thinks that sounds pretty cool

< finally got up feeling better. Few hours < had a terrible headache and <'s forehead felt a little warm. It's gone back down now though, so < must not have had a fever. Maybe just a head cold from all the cold air blowing in <'s room?

< says you can check it any time here: https://www.smartgriddashboard.com/ (yeah, that's a really generic domain for an Ireland-specific site, but whatever!)

< hadn't heard this!

< is glad you feel better! < wonders if you're sufficiently hydrated if you're getting headaches…

< started a wiki!

< is now trying to find how to make those side table things on the top page...

Interesting. < also thinks it's odd to not be ".ie".
