easy for him to say :)
The other day I said I was out of sorts because of the endless rain. Although it's rained now for ten days, off and on, with a promise of at least one more, I feel a bit better partly because I hate feeling bad for long and try to get in a better mood, if I can. Also, Ligneus left a comment that "the way to deal with rain is to revel in it, to walk in it and to think of the awful places where it rains once in a long while and instead of the beautiful mist you get dust." I certainly agree except that I'm over ten and don't have Wellies. Ligneus grew up in England had Wellington boots, raincoats (presumably slickers like mine) and "Sou'Westers, [a hat something like you see in old prints of lifeboatmen]." Mind you, I've spent several months in the UK over the last ten years or so and it's rarely rained. But he perpetuates the story line and extols the virtues of "every kind of rain, Scotch Mist, drizzle, ordinary old rain, April showers, summer downpours and especially winter storms by the sea, all of them enjoyable in their different ways if you don't resist them and think them unpleasant". As I think and say at least once a month or two, oh to be in England!!
