Episode notes
Brindled Cow Folklore Explains Early April
- Blindboy recounts the Irish folklore “Days of the Brindled Cow” to explain why the first three days of April are unpredictable and dangerous for livestock.
- He uses the tale to justify practical behaviours like keeping a jacket and choosing a hot drink instead of ice cream on those days.
Dress For March, Even In April
- Prepare for sudden bad weather at the start of April by keeping a jacket and choosing warming food or drinks.
- Delay switching to summer clothes until around the fourth or fifth of April to avoid getting caught by March-like conditions.
Affogato As Weather Compromise
- Blindboy describes buying an affogato (hot espresso over vanilla ice cream) as a compromise between March and April weather.
- He frames the drink as perfectly suited to Lejenta Naborevi: hot coffee for March, ice cream for April.
