I also enjoy a nice walk in the rain, a few years ago I was having a really miserable time and I took the dog for walk one afternoon and it poured down.
I didn't have a coat and got soaked but something in me clicked and it was the first time in months that I'd felt happy.
Splashing in puddles and squelching in the mud it was like being a four year old again!

Another good thing about walking in the rain is that most people don't like it so there are less of them around.

I always take my kids out when it rains so they can jump in the puddles, but I stay under my umbrella

One thing I love though but I've not experienced for a long time is the smell of rain when it falls on the hot ground after its been very hot for a long time. I never knew there was a name for it, but found out recently it's called "petrichor".

^^ I can relate. Rain gives me a refreshed feeling. I feel better after a walk in the rain than any other weather (apart from snow, but that's a novelty). Obviously if it's absolutely pissing down then that's a bit different, though walking through a forested area is still pretty cool. Forest smell too

^ I've heard of petrichor. My spellcheck doesn't like it

Clumsy* · #**1984** 2nd September 2022, 09:38

The days are turning grey and feeling miserable again.

I feel like making a soup.

Rocket Spud · #**1985** 3rd September 2022, 09:44

Piddling down here

Clumsy* · #**1986** 3rd September 2022, 10:26

^I'm welcoming the rain, even though I like sun. Earth needs it. Spud plant needs it

biscuits · #**1987** 3rd September 2022, 12:01

Oh gosh o didn't think to check the forecast! I've put the washing out on the line

also planned to go to the forest.

Moksha · #**1988** 3rd September 2022, 16:22

Ugghh, 3rd September and it's really humid in Essex. Muggy last night as well. First time I can walk down the street in a coat and scarf I shall be grinning with joy.

Are you referring to me as 'spud plant'?

Well, that rain didn't last long. I didn't even get chance for that rain & cuppa tea cosy vibe thing going on

Clumsy* · #**1990** 3rd September 2022, 23:42

^course... Who else recently said they needed watering now and then

Rocket Spud · #**1991** 4th September 2022, 15:59

Initially i thought you were talking of a spud plant in your garden. Then i cottoned on and thought, hmm, though still wasn't sure!

Percy · #**1992** 4th September 2022, 19:36

It was supposed to rain today

Hollie · #**1993** 6th September 2022, 02:32

Moksha · #**1994** 6th September 2022, 12:50

STILL horrible and humid in Essex. Jesus, we are a week into September. I am desperate for some cold air. I think I have felt hot and sweaty and uncomfortable every day for pretty much two months solid.

Dougella · #**1995** 6th September 2022, 13:31

It's rained here last night and the night before, how strange.

Maybe try getting up earlier? There's a coolness in the air when i leave for work now, which lasts til about 9ish.

Hollie · #**1997** 6th September 2022, 16:35

Lovely lovely rain and thunder here

Percy · #**1998** 6th September 2022, 16:39

Aw, i want thunder

Hollie · #**1999** 6th September 2022, 17:01

^ wishing I could share it lol. I think our rabbit outside isn't too impressed with it

Percy · #**2000** 6th September 2022, 17:45

The dog isn't impressed either.

Percy · #**2001** 6th September 2022, 17:48

What's the rabbits name?

Hollie · #**2002** 6th September 2022, 22:02

^ he's called Emile and we're babysitting him for family

(he's a fluffy boy with a fancy name!). What about your dog? They must have very sensitive ears for storms etc bless them

Percy · #**2003** 7th September 2022, 14:47

Our dog is named Poppy, she's like a little fluffy cloud (could do with losing weight).

Hollie · #**2004** 7th September 2022, 17:29

^ I vibe with Poppy

and she sounds soo snuggly! She'll be glad we seem to be over such crazy heatwaves with all that fluff *touch wood*

Percy · #**2005** 7th September 2022, 23:19

Yeah she did find the heatwave tough.

Hollie · #**2006** 8th September 2022, 15:51

Thunder and lightning again today, I'm being spoiled

Rocket Spud · #**2007** 8th September 2022, 19:52

Bloody weather. I like a bit of rain but this is beyond. How am i gonna get my evening stroll on in this

I may get the raincoat out actually. I haven't exercised for a few days.

Hollie · #**2008** 8th September 2022, 19:58

^ I hope you manage to have a stroll and stretch your legs

biscuits · #**2009** 8th September 2022, 20:01

I don't think we've had any rain all day here!

Rocket Spud · #**2010** 8th September 2022, 20:08

^ How... ?? It's piddling all over the place.

^^ Ta. I'll go if it's mild, pitter patter sort of thing.
