Rain

A close friend asked me the other day "Do you remember when we were kids, and it used to rain for days on end?".

I used to think that those days were past, but just recently it rained for a week - something I also remember painfully since I was on reservist training then, and we experienced the weather in the most direct way possible.

This January seems to be headed in that direction. What the rain lacks in intensity, it makes up for in endurance - it goes down to a dribble, and then rises to a proper pour, but never quite stops. Unlike Tym, who seems to like the rain, I'm getting quite sick of it already, in particular the whole shoes-wet-socks-soaked part of it. Here's to the hope of sunnier days ...
