Scared

Default Re: The Weather Thread!

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

The days are turning grey and feeling miserable again.

I feel like making a soup.

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

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.
