weather gloom
May. 22nd, 2006 02:09 pmThis is England. It is May. It is chucking it down. Long streams of rain, on and off. This morning I walked t'son to school with an umbrella, and t'book I was reading to him got droppled on on the way there, and the fic I was reading got its ink smudged on the way back. Everyone had umbrellas, and whenever it stopped, I slung mine from my wrist.
The branches and twigs and limbs are all waving back and forth erratically. There's a swooshing sounds that turns to a dripple dropple near things like shed roofs or conservatory roofs. Some sort of moss has grown on our asphalt 'patio' and this makes it slippery and yucky to walk on when wet.
The sky: white.

weather wild rain
May. 22nd, 2006 04:48 pmWhoo, sudden wild rain! Driving sheets and fast strings of pearls, in sharp diagonals from top left to bottom right. They lash against the window, backlit by a strange white light. I can hardly see the houses now, obscured by rain. There's a dramatic noise of water pelting against tiles and leaves.
And suddenly, it's over. The rain is normal now. The drops form randomly generated patterns on my pane; some flow down the glass, through and around the others.
Whoa, and now it's starting up again. This is when it's nice to be indoors!
My clothes today: undies, medium warmth socks, slimline jeans, lace-up Docker's, singlet, long-sleeved Tee, rollerneck jumper (Rollie in German). These clothes are comfy but they are what I wore all winter: why am I still wearing them in May? Meh.
