I'm Only Happy When It Rains baa baa baaaaa
Like Bones, I love the rain - and I'm ecstatic in a mega thunderstorm like we had last Sunday! Yeeeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!
Luckily I'd just tied up for water and avoided a complete soaking (which i guess would've taken about 10 seconds but would still have been better than missing this)

I like rain too! I think of that moment in 'V for Vendetta' when Evey looks up at the fallng drops and says "god is in the rain". I'm no god-squadder but I like that feeling of beauty in the small ordinary stuff.
Hey, did you see the silent lightning last night? (Friday into Saturday) The sky kept flashing for hours but NO thunder sounds at all! Don't remember that happening before - perhaps that means it was a long way off?
Cheers now,
Carrie
Hi Carrie. Yes I think it means it's too far away to hear (given wind direction etc).
I do feel that rain has a cleansing, almost healing quality. I know that people often complain that the summer in Britain is 3 hot days and a thunderstorm but I was in another storm yesterday and the muggy, overly-hot day cleared afterwards into a fresh new world of coolness and fragrance. It was like a hangover suddenly leaving!
I think people are conditioned to hate rain, even if it's warm and light and beautiful and conditioned to like the sun, even when it's uncomfortably hot and causing their body and skin to react against it in a struggle to stay healthy. I'm enjoying this weather - but I'm a shade-seeker and I'll leave the mid-day sun to the mad dogs and Co...
