Reach out…
For the chocolate bars at the supermarket today as we have three days of rain forecast.
There are some good points to being drowned on a daily basis.
1. You don’t have to clean your windows as there is no sunshine to show up the smears
2. You can eat more chocolate as you can get away with wearing baggy jumpers for longer. Bikini season may not happen unless it involves swimming through the tunnel at Puerto Banus to rescue car drivers who thought they were driving a Range Rover and not a Fiat Panda.
3. You can easily now figure out the build quality of your house. If it is standing excellent quality. If it has collapsed, not so good build quality.
4. Less tourists means more car parking spaces.
5 You have time to daydream about garden centres like you used to when you lived in the UK. All your plants have drowned and rotted away so you are going to need to buy a whole garden full when the sun does make an appearance.
6. You can have conversations about the weather to strangers, yourself and the dog ( or in my case the hamster)
7. Fashion no longer matters at the school playground. If you can manage an umbrella that hasn’t blown inside out and an anorak you are winning.
8. The children won’t moan next time you take them to the beach because they have all forgotten what it looks like.
9. You no longer need to shave your legs, arms, or back. Hairy bodies provide warmth and waterproofing. ( No, I don’t shave my back, but if I did would you love me less?)
10. We get to see rainbows. (Well I have only seen one this year, and it almost made me crash my car because I could only see it via the rear view mirror) Rainbows are pretty special and you only get to see them if it rains. ( Oh and if you do blah blah blah, which has something to do with science and prisms. My son tried to tell me but I fell asleep.)
Voila….see…..happy times…..we just love the rain.
