The Joke Is on Us

I am not sure what the hell is going on with Dublin City Council. In the last week or so posters have gone up around the city reminding us that 'Water is precious, let's conserve it', and 'Don't waste drinking water on your lawn'. In the last few days all I have thought about my lawn is whether to swim across it or not. June past must be one of the wettest on record, and even by now July must be something similar. There hasn't been one day without rain (not even today, though there was sunshine), and some of it has been TORRENTIAL! Certainly I saw nothing like it anywhere in the world. If this is an example of Irish wit on the part of the Council, I'd prefer if they didn't spend our taxes on such humour. The joke is very definitely on us all.
