And learning to share in Cork.
I do hope you're well and you can stay with us until nine o'clock, which is when the heat warning officially ends.
About one o'clock this morning, there was a very welcome...
fresh or cooler breeze blew its way in through the open bedroom window but you know what being up and about since about five o'clock this morning I can tell you it's not quite time just yet to take the butter dish out of the fridge it is still a little bit sticky there
First person I would like to introduce you to this morning is a very interesting man who has written a must-read book.
David Keown is a bit of a Waterford-born Indiana Jones.
He's a man on an archaeological quest to discover Ireland's ancient lifting stones and revive a sport and a culture, stone lifting, that has almost been erased from the landscape entirely.
His book is called The Wind Beneath the Stone because the moment when you first raise a stone off the ground in stone lifting is called giving it wind.
I met him at a deserted Bunmahan stage cove, the cliff rocks literally green with copper still seeping from the old mines.
And this is where David trains on a selection of increasingly heavy looking rocks.
The wind under the stone is stage one.
Up the lap is stage two.
And up the chest is stage three.
Right, come on.
Come on now.
So again, I'm setting myself up.
Like Flardy always spoke about, scraping the ground away to get balance.
So you have a nice, firm base.
I'm sitting myself directly over the stone, right over the middle of it.
See the way it's kind of more weight on this side, so I know I'm going to have to put more force through this side of the body.
