From the beginning, my mistake was not realizing how drastically the weather can change from one region to the next. Now after visiting the country more than eight times, I've become an expert on what to pack for a trip to Iceland.

Hello and welcome to Match 9 of the Cricket World Cup! Today we've got Australia taking on Pakistan, which should be an interesting match up. Pakistan are yet to win a game, but they bowled admirably against India.

"I think the fact that it varies so much across the island as well. It's a very small island. What I post in Carlow, and it'll be blue skies and sunshine, and I get all these messages from the west of Ireland saying, 'It's not like that here'."

traditional demarcation between the seasons when we arrive home from holiday to find everything in our house in dire need of immediate repair has come so early that we haven't even been away yet.

Nothing in this house works, my wife says, trying to flick the jammed light switch. Better always on than always off, I say, trying to be positive.
