- Does no one talk about the weather anymore, Bernie?
- Do they not? I hadn’t noticed to be honest.
- I can’t remember the last time anyone said “Isn’t that a fierce wind?” Or “soft day thank god”.
- Ma, no one ever says “soft day thank god”.
- I do.
- No you don’t.
- I do so.
- I’ve never heard you say “soft day, thank god”.
- Sure you don’t be listening to me half the time, Bernie.
- What?
- All people talk about now is the covid. Covid this, covid that, covid my arse. I’m sick of the bloody covid. I actually miss the days of the big storm warnings.
- Everyone is sick of the covid ma, but what can we do?
- At least with the weather we have a bit of change; raining, windy, cold, hot. with the covid it’s all doom and gloom. People sick, people dying, people suffering from depression.
- …businesses closing down, people out of work.
- Pubs shut. Holidays cancelled. How much change do you want, ma?
- …and we’re not allowed leave town.
- In fairness, that doesn’t affect you ma. You don’t go anywhere anyway.
- But I knew I could. It’s the knowing I can’t that makes me want to go.
- Where do you want to go?
- Anywhere; Spain, the Bahamas, Bray.
- Bray is in Wicklow, you can’t go there. You know we were advised not to leave Dublin.
- I’m fed up being told where I can and can’t go.
- Aren’t we all ma. Anyway, you hate Bray.
- Yeah, it’s a miserable aul place.
- What about Howth?
- I do like Howth
- Howth’s in Dublin.
- Your da used to bring me.
- Come on, I’ll bring you now.
- In this weather?
- The sun is trying to break through there, look.
- It could lash later. I can’t be doing with Howth in the rain.
- My weather app says chance of rain is 5%.
- Don’t mind your app, sure can’t I see see rain from here.
- Do you want to go or not?
- Maybe another day.
- We’ll just sit here and talk about the weather then, ma.
- Soft day thank god.
😳😳😳 Give me fucking patience.
Your a patient woman, and you love your ma! 💜

Ah, she’s right. It’s knowing you could go if you wanted to that makes the difference.
May you be given boatloads of patience as you deal with her.
