-Feb 1st. Continued `Irish` weather: off and on rain showers only this time punctuated with a bit of sleet, nothing special. Peoples` spirits seem to be higher with the rapid increase of sunlight though the sun doesn`t rise until after 9.30. I miss the snow which has since long washed away because it brightens up the atmosphere. The basic colors this time of year are a dull brown and slate.
-Two nights ago Iceland was barely defeated by hated Denmark in handball. This sport is very popular here and has a lot of fine players. Iceland lost in overtime by one point. I happened to be at work, and people were glued to their radios throughout, especially during the last 15 second when Iceland blew it. Very exciting atmosphere, to be sure.
-My positive experience of last Saturday when watching the news continues. That is to say, suddenly I was able to grasp a large chunk of the news. Strange how that happened all at once which means my subconscious practice is paying off. By that I mean each time I`m in the car I tune into a station where people are talking, even ads, which are just the same as in the US. Much of the time I`m not focused on what people are say, naturally so when driving, but this constant listening process has had a cumulative effect.
