Rain, rain, come again!
-
Been raining on and off a bit over the last week, but it's been raining almost continuously since last night. It's brought down the temperatures to the mid-20s, and I'm sitting around in a T-shirt and pyjamas. Just returned from buying a gift for a function tomorrow (although if it's anything like today, I won't be going) and some food. Nearly 24 hours of straight rain, and IT'S AWESOME! I know the British (and perhaps to a lesser degree, other Europeans) and North Americans think sun = fun and rain = terrible, but I (and many of my countrymen) love rain. This weather is great for a weekend; my only regret is I'm single and live alone, it would be perfect to have some company. Oh, well, c'est la vie. :) Here is a song from a 90s Tamil film shot in Madras: Chinna Chinna Malai Thuligal. I love to play this every time it rains. How does your culture react to rain?
Cheers, Vikram. (Cracked not one CCC, but two!)
It is a bit cold here, but clear blue sky and sunny. Mind you I am only just out of bed (it is 2.00pm) and feeling rough. I didn't get in until 4.00am and I am severely hung over. Laying on sofa, watching football and thinking of dying. Chocolate milkshake and toast beside me.

With me, it depends on the temperature. If it's over 60°F, I'm fine because I can still go out and bike or run in those conditions. Colder than that and the misery from being cold and wet is too annoying. My mother-in-law loves it when it rains. She built a covered porch on the back of her house, just so she can sit out there when it rains. She's even been known to sleep on a chaise lounge on that porch.

If you do get tired of it, then please send some this way; we haven't had any in months.

Had about 48 here recently.

It's awesome here as well, but especially in the Highvel, where the thunder and lightening, as well as superlatively dark and heavy clouds, are world wide winners.

Have a beer, be a man. I woke up around 10am, also feeling rough, but a good two quarts of Castle Milk Stout sorted that quickly.

Nope, never will tire of it :) Ask the Brits, they're always moaning about the rain.

I live in Oregon, USA, and I agree with you completely. With Winter on the way, it's been raining quite a bit here. My wife and I are loving it!

We sneeze. :) As for me, it mostly gets me in the drinking mood.
